If you're not sold on black, I would postpone. Plenty of supply of 987s out there.

Black car is great for a weekend car but after having lived with one for 6 years I would not do that again. I'm far too fastidious and nit picky about my hobby car. The other thing I hated was that blemishes and unavoidable pebble impact from highway driving seem to magnify on that color. Matching black paint if you wanted to do some annual touch ups was also a PITA, requiring 2nd attempts by the paint shop. Sometime it wasn't the color but the fact that the booth allowed some minute particles to stick to the paint before it dried. In other words you have to have really good paint $hop. Or you could clear bra the whole front end. Also expensive.

My next car will be white or silver again. door graphics look great on both.
