What I find so incredible is how our cars can look so different based on the color, lighting and model (cab vs coupe). All cars look different depending on stance and wheels but our cars seem to be different. It makes seeing individual cars in person so much more fun. Not gonna lie here, but cobalt blue on a coupe does look pretty damned good. That being said, all time favorite is speed yellow on a cab. If one comes available, let me know ASAP!

Ahh, the power of the registry!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Sorry I screwed it up for you.
Haha, no worries. Thats what I get for not buying it for just a bit more than 6k when I talked to him. I think it was like 7kish at that point. I knew he was in a bind. I knew what it was worth. I knew what it was. Didnt know it was the only one, but I knew their werent many. Im foolish for not grabbing it as soon as it hit 6k. It wasnt that price for long. musta only been a day or two. I was gonna jump on it at that price. Price went up before I got the chance to call him again. So yeah, thats what I get for kinda taking advantage of the poor guys situation I guess. Ive been in his shoes, needed to sell quick, and ended up letting it go for nothing, after be waited out. I hate when that happens to me. Besides, turbocharging such a rare car, even if its done wonderfully, just doesnt seem right to me. Would be a shame IMO. White on the other hand......
BTW Jeff, were there any alpine white 968's? Many people call their cars alpine white, when usually its grand prix white. I never seen a 968 with alpine white paint code. Just GP.
86' India red 951 3.0 8v turbo
87' Guards red 951 parts car(scrapped :-( )
93' GP white 968 manual, coupe(restoration/modifications in progress)

Unless it was a color to sample solid car the answer is no. All the white cars are P5 Grand Prix white.
BTW, I'm up to six F2 Maritime blue coupes. They get to be one of one when you add the interior colors.

I think was light grey interior. Entire dash I think. My white is light grey, with black here and there, but only bottom half of dash is grey(top is black). I think bottom being grey is one of the mystery option codes I have. Cant find it anywhere.

Please visit my new website OnlySilver968s.com. It will be dedicated to slamming anyone unthoughtful enough to have purchased a 968 in any color but silver. We will have our own events and park far away from "Them"...

I think we can figure it out. I would guess your base interior is code TS light grey/Black partial leather. Now, you can order deviation options on top of the base interior. Carpet is the most popular deviating option. The photo below is my old cab. It had the code TU light grey/classic gray interior. Now normally this interior (and your's) would having matching light gray carpet. My car was ordered with the deviating carpet option in classic gray. Notice that not only the carpet is different but also the carpet on the lower doors. So, how does this compare to your car?

It does look nice. What color is the "red"? You just used a regular vinyl dye on the dash pad? What did you do with the lower dash, dye or recover?
