NEED HELP....COLOR

Jime. ust found out my speed yellow c4 cab with black wont be delivered on time...want something thats different than the usual. Any suggestions on colors and combos..photos would be a plus. Many thanks.

Seal Gray is defintiely one of my favorites, but if you wanna be different, go for the SY! Here's a pic of my SY C4S.

sorry to say this... silver or seal gray all the way ! u'll never be tired of looking at it, if u're not now. hey everyone, i was gonna say Zanzibar Red but i couldn't find it anymore in porsche website. they take it out?? IMO, that's the hottest color especially on TT!

Go for the SY. I am a bit bias though. <img src="http://www.geocities.com/alcremens/c4s014.JPG" alt=" - " /> <a href="http://www.geocities.com/alcremens/C4S1.html" target="_blank">The C4S</a>

I like Zanzibar Red as well. Anyone have a picture?

I vote for Speed Yellow/Black as well.

Seal Grey is my choice, look at my page and see for yourself.

I think I've decided on getting Seal Gray with Boxster Red interior on my next 996, but there are so many nice combo's out there.

boxster red with seal grey? i guess im not a big fan of red interiors. one of my neighbors has an sl55 with a red/red combo, very nice i have to say. why dont u go red/red and just be really different with yellow stitching and yellow seat belts, ceramic brakes. okay maybe a little extreme, but hey its just an opinion.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what I want. Although I think the boxster red looks best with artic silver, but I don't want another AS car. IMO, boxster red looks much better in person than in any pictures.

what about boxster red with carrera white exterior? white is a really nice exterior color.

What about Midnight Blue , with same colour painted wheels, and cinnamon leather?

That blue with leather sounds nice, where can I find an image of this combo? What about the other blues?

Two words...Guards Red! <img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid61/p2657c79a4b739921c244764fbceac2c7/fc28b875.jpg" alt=" - " /> I had a Seal Gray Boxster and wanted the C4S in Seal Gray, but my used red one was 17K cheaper than a new one and had only 4K miles. I have since fallen for the red...it really makes the car look spectacular.

Speed Yellow. SPEED YELLOW!! I have full Graphite Grey, Natural Grey carpet (dark grey), SY sport seat backs/console. Looks HOT HOT HOT!! I'm shopping for a digital camera this weekend, gotta post some pics. (Any suggestions on micro-sized 4-ish MP w/ zoom?) Oh, and SPEED YELLOW!! -DT

DT, The Cannon PowerShot 400s...

Hi Dirk, I gather you are partial to SY. A good 4mp camera would be the canon g series but if you want real compact try the minolta dimage f100 or f300. Even smaller would be the casio 3.2mp with zoom. First two would be best choices. By the way does anyone feel they are targeted by police based on color of car driven. ..just curious.

mumanoff, As I've said here before, I really wouldn't want to collect sufficient data to draw a conclusion on ext color vs police targetting. -DT

Slate Grey Metallic with dark tan leather sport seats and black carpets Alcantara headliner, and body colored center console and seat backs. springs/shocks, Fabspeeds, and airbox mod.

I saw a nice combo on a black convertable. It was Basalt Black wit boxter red interior. HAd black devieting carpets and sticking so the red wasn't too bad. I'm not o fan of red interiors, b ut this combo looked hot!!!!

Honestly, I believe that Cobalt blue with Black or grey leather is stunning. Its a little lighter than LeMans Blue on BMWs but looks twice as good on a Porsche. Go figure! Here is a site that can configure many factory color combinations: <a href="http://www.whiteson.org/boxster/gallery/" target="_blank">http://www.whiteson.org/boxster/gallery/</a>

Mumanoff Can't find pic of midnight blue, co-ordinated wheels plus cinnamon leather - but my dealer had a Targa specced that way - and it looked the dog's proverbials.

Zenith Blue Met...IMHO the king of different as far as Porsche colors go.

cobalt blue and zenith blue look similar to me. What is the difference between the 2? I really want to get a blue porsche, but I have heard cobalt looks purple in person and I do not want a real dark blue. What do you guys think about lapis blue?

Mumanoff: what about Black-black? Anyone has pics with this combo?

If you're married or real tight with a girl I would suggest you consult with her. Sometimes "they" prefer like a neutral color, ie Black, AS, SG etc. so whatever color they wear will "go" with the car. AS would be my choice, of course.

Oops...sorry for the size. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Here is a picture of P-Cars belonging to two of my friends next to each other. The 996 is Cobalt and the Boxster is Zenith. Sorry my hosting service converts the 1600x1200 pic to a small one. I can e-mail it if you need it. <img src="http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid69/p07091105c68d4f9eca0b311e4a66bfc7/fbb34105.jpg" alt=" - " />

Cobalt blue is quite dark. Zenith Blue is much brighter. IMHO Zenith Blue is drop dead gorgeous. I personally don't like the traditional Silver and Guards Red colours. Speed Yellow is my next choice or maybe Champagne Silver. But Beleive Me Zenith Blue is very eye catching.

I get more eye catches and questions about this color than any color in have ever owed any Porsche in (Arctic Silver, Black/Black, Garnet Red, Guards Red). It seems that women give it the most most attention and ask what color it is. At night Zenith blue has a tendancy to look purplish blue as it passes under street lights...very nice effect. Zenith Blue is a sweet color. To bad Porsche only paints it as custom on 996 now. When I am ready to purchase my new Porsche I will also have it done in Zenith Blue.

As I am planning on buying my first pcar in the near future, this whole color thing has me nuts. I have not seen zenith in person, but I would luv too. I have seen cobalt blue in person and I loved it except that I think the purple hue it has would get me nuts eventhough I really dont notice it except under certain light people say. What is your opinion on Lapis Blue I would really appreciate it. I know every option that I want to get except for color. All i know is it will either be black or some shade of blue.

I'm with P1CR. Seal Grey with Dark Tan (you can pick any tan you want with "Leather to Sample", black carpets and headliner. Pic of my new baby attached. <a href="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/LeftDoorOpen.jpg" target="_blank">http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/LeftDoorOpen.jpg</a>
