    I think I would've gone for a different interior color...

    Yeah, it needs the orange stripes. And road grime, brake dust and dead flies. Lots of dead flies.
    Then it would really look good.

    Fun that somebody had the guts to do it in the first place though!

    I'll bet the dealer was paid in full before he placed the order.

    What a waste of an otherwise perfectly good Carrera GT.

    I would get that same interior, but with a Royal Blue exterior. That would look FFFIIINNNEEEE!

    Yeah, thats halfway there. But too clean. I would LOVE to see a CGT that had been used long and hard! (it will probably never happen)
    Oil is better than wax in my pont of wiew.

    I was thinking more along these lines:

    Re: Gulf Blue Carrera GT

    Don't really like the gulf blue color on its own. did a very quick crappy photoshop job to give it the orange stripes. kinda looks ok in my opinion. Nothing as great as W8MM's signal yellow. What do you guys think of the strips?

    Re: Gulf Blue Carrera GT

    I actually like it, except for the weird angles on the front (sloppy ). I agree it should have 'PORSCHE' on the sides in the orange bits though. Might be a good idea for someone with money to blow, have your GT wrapped in these colors and start turning even more heads.

    To me it is. I get way more excited when walking up to a sports car with rock chips and tire rubber stuck on the body from track use then from seeing perfect spotless showroom examples. The curves of a 911 or CGT aren't everything I like about those cars from an aesthetic sense, because my aesthetic sense has become mixed with the idea of those cars flying around the curves of a road. It's kinda the same thing that makes me think a car is more beautiful because its form follows some aerodynamic function. I don't tell myself that I must be ok with the looks because it means good aero, I actually see the car as being more attractive because of it. Of course some cars are so ugly that I couldn't stand them no matter how much function their form provides.
