Artic or GT Silver w/ Seablue

Has anyone else gone for the Artic or GT Silver w/ the Seablue full leather?

Also, did you guys get the Preferred package plus? Thanks, Patch

Artic Silver with Coca and perferred package plus and a few other goodies.

GT Silver is slightly darker than Arctic Silver but very hard to distinguish between the two in most lighting conditions, recommend you go with Arctic and plow the savings into more goodies. Sea Blue looks great in the pictures but haven't seen it in person yet.

Also I think one of our members (atlas croc) has an Atlas Grey with Sea Blue on order. Sounds sharp.

Thanks, haven't seen in person either. Looking forward to seeing in the flesh, The preferred package plus saves you 600.00 over pricing options separate.

I was wondering if anyone has gone with the Sea Blue as a interier color for a Guards Red - probably not, but I think it might work as I like the colors together. I do think it will look good with the Silvers.

Anyone else order Seablue and with what color exterior?

Saw the GT sliver on Friday and it's the best sliver by miles, it's richer thanArtic, but it's also expensive and I couldn't justify the cost either.

Does anyone possibly have any pics that show the Silver w/ Seablue Int.? Thanks, Patch

Patch - I think your Seablue interior with the Silvers will look great, I believe Arctic Sliver has more of a blue cast in it than GT Sliver. But I haven't seen Seablue interior in the flesh. zornet

Sorry I'm late to the party...... IMO Sea Blue looks the best with Artic.....and GT looks the best with Cocoa. Why?......Artic is more of a cool silver and seems to blend a little better with the blue than GT does. GT being a little darker seems to mate perfectly with Cocoa. This is just my opinionof course.......I have seen Sea Blue with GT and Cocoa with Artic......and they look great, I just happen to like it the other way around. Here is an Artic with Sea Blue 997 cab.... <input type="image" src="/UserFiles/DSCN0138.JPG" /><input type="image" src="/UserFiles/DSCN0144(1).jpg" />

Thanks Atlas, I ordered Artic w/ the full leather Seablue and after seeing your pic it should be a good looker!!!

Atlas, Yours should look sweet too. What is your MSRP? Did you get Nav. or the PASM . Thanks, Patch

patch2 - Artic with Sea Blue is very sporty and classy at the same time......one of the most understated combinations that is stunning in person.....very sporty and classy at the same time. If available check out an Artic Silverpainted center column and silver seat belts (again, if available)......two things thatwill really make the combo pop. My MSRPis $67,970........and does not include Nav or PASM .For my driving habbits neitherwould be worth the money. I really don't travel far from home by car most of the time and pretty much always know whereI'm headed.....so the NAV/ PCM , although nice looking, is just toomuch $$$ unles you have a real need for it.For PASM I comparedBoxster Ssback to back with and without it and found the standard suspension more to my liking. The firm setting was too firm formost of my driving (would be great for track) while the normal setting felt a little soft (would be good for bad roads)......in the end the stock suspension felt the best to me,you never had to worry aboutswitching modes, andbestofall.....it's free! The only thing I would miss about PASM is the ride height drop.......which is pretty small, butnoticeable.

Atlas, There is no question, the sea blue is gorgeous with the Artic. I could not picture it, but it is just the right shade of blue to make it work. Russ

Atlas, that looks awesome w/ the painted console, thanks for the pics. Can I get this done after market? will it be as good as the factory work? I can't wait to see theAtlas Grayw/ the Seablue looking forward to some pics. What month are you going to take delivery? Did you paint the console ext. color? Thanks, Patch Edited by - patch2 on 12/04/2005 10:29:02 PM

Patch - I believe the center painted console may be available now....but not sure. It can be done to a very high standard via http://www.bumperplugs.com/ , a site sponser I believe. I could not get this option with my build date, but went with a few other interior pieces painted Atlas instead......shifter trim, dash strip, and gauge surround. My car originally had a late Nov. build date but got pushed back to the beginning of December for some reason......it may be starting down the line as we speak. No matter, it should be here right around launch time in January. I actually like this a little better than having it built and sitting around for a month. Believe it or not I have not seen Atlas/Sea Blue in person (against my own solid advice), but have seen both colors independently several times......and in cars right next to each other.......should look great together, not really too much of a contrast, but different than the normal black or stone grey normally paired with Atlas. Hereis aAtlas w/Sea Blue 997 though..... <input type="image" height="480" width="640" src="/UserFiles/120659-DCP_0545.jpeg" />

Atlas, It almost looks black except for the leather piece on the door. Very beautiful, I am sure it is driving you crazy not being able to see more pics of it in different lighting. Russ

I have seal gray with sea blue due for delivery 1/30.... have to wait for pics until then

Seen this combo a few times in pictures........another excellent combination.

Thanks for posting the photos Atlas_Croc. I was thinking about this interior, but my dealer doesn't have one for me to look at. Also, I was wondering if it looks more black like the last photo, or lighter like the other ones? It might just be the flash, but the upper photo looks much lighter to me than I thought it would look.

I have this combination on my '06 Boxster S. I love it and get plenty of compliments. See the link below for a picture and the option details: http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2807

Carl, What should I look under? Thanks, Patch

Flash photos and certain lighting really do a number on Sea Blue for some reason.......make it look much brighter& 'bluer'than it really is......same for some other colors also. Some digi cameras tend to skew its look also. It is a dark blue withsome grey in it. Standing outside the car a few feet away it looks dark......almost black, but get closer or open the door and you can see the difference. It is a very rich looking interior IMO. Here is a fair representation of what it looked like when I have seen it in person....... <input type="image" height="600" width="800" src="/UserFiles/997Int01.jpg" />

It does look really nice, and that is FULL LEATHER isn't it. I just can't get use to see the sterring wheel on that side. I must say that the full leather does add a rich touch to the instrument hood. Russ Edited by - RussK on 12/06/2005 10:31:06 AM
