    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Tooner, your car is beautiful. I've seen silver/terracotta on a 987 but not on the 997. I love it. It's one of my favorite combo's.

    I don't have those problems. You gotta use the right cleaning methods. Getting dirt out of a deep grain is a piece of cake, and besides, there is no deep grain in Porsche leather. And lastly, the dirt only gets on your interior if you bring it in there on you. I suppose I'm a bit freakish in that respect.



    No one will find a piece of grit in my interiors but a friend had M3 with the light grey interior and he was very clean in himself but his grey leather looked well worn and scuffed . No cleaner or method improved it , its like a white tiled floor and a black one - the white will show every normal wear and tear flaw going after time . The same thing can be said with exterior colours..

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Does any one happen to have any phones of a 997 with slate/sand?

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    i ment photos not phones. sorry.

    Also can you get painted calipers on the base 997, if so how much is that option?

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Lmao POR..

    throt.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    POR,

    The base 997 cannot be ordered with colored calipers on the standard options sheet. It might be possible via the Exclusive department but this would be far more expensive than it would be worth. There has been at least one poster who had his calipers powder coated red, maybe you can search for that thread on the site here.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Any other suggetions or opinions about the 997 that i should look into?

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Yes,

    Get an S!


    Seriously, there is no way you can go wrong, just pick what you like and go for it!

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Don't listen to these guys. There's only one choice for the Maryland/Virginia crew. Behold.



    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    nooo this is the combo!

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Forget those and go for the top gun!

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    How about straight Arctic Silver Coupe with Stone Gray Interior? Being a avid photographer I know how to bring a car to life using the proper background settings and a decent camera. Tooner, killer color combo! Love it!

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Don't like the Stone Gray interiour, looks cheap. Like an 80's shoe..

    I always had black, but trying to move to a sand/brown (not cocoa) for my next car (997s)

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    POR911,

    I'm going with my initial preference (Arctic, Grey and Grey). I believe you won't go wrong if you do the same:Seal and Beige is an excellent combo! I really haven't seen a combo I don't like yet. It's fun for me to entertain the possibility of ordering another color..., but I always come back to my initial preference.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Mike,

    That baby is frameable!

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Even though i would definitly not mind or jump at the chance at any of the cars posted, i think i like the Slate/Sand the best for me. So i think i am going to the local porsche dealer and disscuss everything over the weekend, i will keep you posted!!

    Mike S, Definitly a Frame worthy pic!!

    Holminator, wht local dealer did you go to?

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Zurich Stone Gray is very rich looking especially in full leather. It gives the interior of the car a spacious (larger) feel to it. Also, this particular color combo (Arctic silver/Stone Gray) both share "umber" tones. Its hard to explain but if you see it in person, you'll see what I mean. Porsches Stone Gray is almost black and would agree that a lighter gray doesn't work on this model as well. I personally wouldn't swap it for black but as the saying goes beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and for re-sale (not why I choose that color combo) its Number #1 along with Arctic/blk. Ideally, I would of preferred the 2 toned option using blk as the contrasting color (blk borders + stone gray inserts on the front seats/back seats dash and door panels) but no such option was available at the time.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Nice background indeed Gradyex! & the CAR.... suave!

    The 19" Carrera wheels get me all the time tell me again why I haven't swapped mine??

    lol thanks guys

    here's another nice one that reflects the colour of the sunset on the basalt black

    btw if you guys want the high res pics, let me know

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Artic Silver/GT-Silver/Black/Basalt with Black interior. Best combos under the sun.
    Silver and black looks and feels HIGH-TECH, High-performance and modern.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    I am biased, but I agree with Stradale. I must admit that after seeing tooner's car and the white Boxster S with Terracotta interior, I would have seriously considered those combos if I had to do it again.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Me too mcdelaug! that white on terracotta was stunningly classy.

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    seal gray is nice

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    Does anyone have slate gray and natural grey leather combo photos?

    Jim

    Re: I Can not decide!!!!! Would lover you opinions!!!

    My choice is:basalt black,full leather black,red sabelt!
