Yeah, that's it. I check the Porsche inventory every so often and happened to see it. I agree with your statement...at first I thought something was wrong with the digital pix until I read the description.

Look at the PRICE!!! That must be Magic Mini Motor Paint on the wheels cause everything else seems to be stock, AND USED!!! Pity the fool that pays $8000 for a pint of blue paint. :???:

That has to be the same car.

I also think the blue wheels are too much. Should have done them in white to match the roof and mirrors. I would definitely like to see someone do R90s in white.

I also don't care for the blue lower grill in the front. Looks a little too much like an Earl Shieb paint job (no masking or trim removal). "I'll paint any car for just $99.95."

I do think the S bodywork looks fantastic in body color. Looks like a tastefull body kit.
