Here's my 993 with Ocean Blue.

Very nice!

I hate it. Hides the unique lines without the badassness of black.

But it's your dough - if it's your one and only true love (for the moment

), go for it!

Best of luck!!

I am going to see it in person. Some colors just do not work well on the CGT to me. I like black or yellow, but it seems like no-one else likes black. I just saw where a 2005 with 17 miles sold for $ 380k.

By the pictures I am going with Midnight Blue Metallic... I had this color on my 968 it was an amazing shimmery color in the sun and almost black at night. I say go for it!

You might like it now but will hate it later. Stick to the base colors.

Flying up. Have to work it in between Knoxville and Seatle next week. Going to be a long week.

The color is midnight. Lighter than Lapis. I have had Lapis on two Porsches and like that color, but I like the darker midnight blue better. I am just not sure about this color on a CGT. Some colors just do not do it for me on the CGT.

I will stick on pure colours, If you like dark, go for black. If you like flash, yellow will be nice! But no blue for me ...

The way I see it, there are exotic supercars and then there is the supercar with class (CGT). Cant describe how, but the dark blue goes hand in hand with this. Guards, Fayence, etc. dont really fit this description even though they do look cool. The dark blue its not as boring as black.. its got the metallic so it will shine like crazy during the day and still be quite dark at night. Some will say the black is more evil or whatever but that doesnt really fit the cgt's style either. In my opinion, there is nothing more fitting on the car than this color - sophisticated and gorgeous.
