    colors

    I will finalize turbo order next month, any comments about olive green/natural brown?

    Re: colors

    I guess all is in the eye of the beholder but I would think it would affect resale...if you are going to keep it long term then paint it any color you like!

    Re: colors

    Here are pics of olive green turbo and carrera.

    Personaly, if you have to go for olive green, I'd get cocoa interior. It works really well. (second link, you'll find a cab olive/cocoa)

    Good luck with your choice.

    seems like a potential case of color selectors remorse....if you think it might not look good,it wont

    Re: colors

    The Olive Green is quite nice. Most posters here have probably never seen it in person. I have. It's quite nice,--but then, many have an issue with green on Porsches ("...theft proof green...")I think the natural brown with it will look great. Part of ordering a car from scratch is to be able to put things together that are not the usual SILVER with BLACK interior, etc. Live a little,--as you are doing.

    Re: colors

    olive green natural brown is a great look

    Re: colors

    I've seen Olive green in person before on a C2S cabrio and it looked VERY unique. Black in most cases except when there's direct sunlight. It would definitely be a very hard paint to maintain. Looked very "exclusive" but it's not something I personally would pick.

    It looks very nice in person. I've seen the olive/natural brown combo on a 997S Coupé and I think both colours go very well together. However if you'd ask me (without mentioning Porsche) about the green/brown combo I automatically think of an old English roadster instead of a Porsche Turbo (it's just my memory playing a trick )
    @ Amazon: for a cab I would prefer the Cocoa interior also (mind you I'm biased regarding Cocoa), because the dark green/light brown contrast would be too strong for me.
    For a Coupé both colours (Natural Brown and Cocoa) should go very well with the Olive Green.

    Here's a pic of an Olive/Cocoa Boxster (slightly different sunlight compared to Amazon's pic).

    Re: colors

    I have a friend who had a forest green/natural brown 996TT, and loved it. He did note that the color (not as dark as olive) did diminish the sale price when he eventually sold it at a dealer in northern California.

    Nevertheless, I would say always get what you want. Nobody knows better than you...

    Re: colors

    I saw an Olive/tan 997 cab at my dealer and it is stunning in person. Looks like a wet black in all but direct sunlight and then it just radiates. I was really expecting it to look terrible.

    Re: colors

    You might also inquire if the new chestnut/black combo now available on the facelifted Cayenne would be available on the TT. For a picture, check out the Cayenne forum under new car configurator is up post.

    Re: colors

    I prefer Olive with tan leather. Almost ordered it. Great combo. Although I haven't seen that combo on a 997 in person, I have seen a Cayenne in Olive. The maintenance seems close to black. Very hard to keep the dust off.
