A Gentian blue GTS from a local cars and coffee this morning. It’s nicer here than it was on the S I saw back in Jan, but I’m still happy I went with something that pops a little more.

Also happy about foregoing the RaceTex seats. They really just look kind of cheap in person.

You made the right choice. That said, how close is Laguna Seca to Shark Blue?

Gentian looks great in the sun. Not so in the shade. Too dark for me. Reminds me a bit on Tanzanite blue, which was offered as a $2k option on the F80. At least they had the good sense of not going with black wheels with that color.

Too dark. Boring.

Also RaceTex does look cheap.

LOL.

I was going to say the "GTS" stitching in red on the seats makes me cringe a little.

I kind of like Gentian in that pic, but it looks an awful lot like the color Marisa has on her CX-5. It's a nice color, but not what either of us wants on a fun car. It's not a "fun" color.

I saw a boxster GTS this weekend with the Carrera Sport Classic wheels. GT Silver over Red. Man I love those wheels. I'm currently looking for a set for my car. Best case would be finding someone that wants to swap my RS Spyder designs for Carrera Sports.
