    Determining colors on a computer monitor, from a photo that was probably photoshopped and air-brushed, is impossible. You don't know what you're really looking at, any guess would just be a wild guess.

    Like 69bossnine sez, It's probably a "black-and-white" photo, with a little color photoshopped into the parking lights/turn signals.

    Re: What color is this ?

    That's the thing about photos these days. Just 15-20 years ago they were real, what you saw was there. It was a different feeling compared to nowadays when you look at ANY pic and often try to find the possible photoshop evidence.

    The truth that photos once proclaimed is gone. You can't trust them anymore.

    Interesting picture. I live about 3 km from Rinspeed and didn't see the Cab until now. All the other 997 they have are Seal Grey. Have to drive by in the near future and have a look.

    Re: What color is this ?

    I like the front lip as well. Do you guys think that just adding the lip without adding the wing would mess up the balance of the car? The bumper itself seems to be the factory original.

    P.S. I think it's black.

    hey tonner i thought you were against the aftermarket soop ups..what happened? your starting to change your mind? Well i think thats the best aftermarket lip so far. Better than speedArt and techart.

    it is possible not a photoshop. i have seen that color 5 y ago at the autosalon in Frankfurt. people who transform a 996 or a audi use this color only to be seen.17/9 I go to Frankfurt for mine Cayman.
