It all depends, if your color it attached to a limited edition thing like the orange boxsters, then yes some people might pay a premium.

I like the funky colors. I love the return of the Viper Green and Orange on the GT3RS. I like those '70s safety colors but also some of the blues (Albert Blue) and Aubergine look great on the "old" cars. Since Boxsters will be "old" one day, will you want one that disappears or stands out?

I was curious about this because I also have a zenith metallic blue 2000 and I have only seen one on the road with the same color combo and now it looks like two 986ers Blinkwat and BLue 2000s also enjoy the zenith metallic blue.

I usually see Black, Silver, Red and Yellow Boxsters in South Florida and rarely do I see any other colors or color combos.

What bra? I paid extra for that paint job.

Ronzi,
I like your rims. Are they originals?

They are aftermarket wheels, not Porsche option.
They do not seem to be marked with any decipherable mfr name, so I can't tell you who made them.
