No actually, I got the Flame red. I ordered normal red but when it came I was not happy with the shade. it was more burgandy or blood red then just plane jane red. So I sent it back and got flame red a little brighter than I wanted but with an all black interior it looks great just the same.


once I get my blackberry cord....somwhere around here... Ill get this DIY started.

I agree. I put the flame red in the Boxster and the regular red in the 993. I took the pieces to the local Porsche dealer and the regular red (despite it looking more burgandy) was almost a perfect match to OME.

Regular on left..... Flame on right.

my other reasoning even tho the OEM is darker. I feel that If I were to paint my calipers red or upgrade to brembos or what have you. the flame red will match a lil better. if not ill pay and have my belts re-done in normal red. and I could do this 5 or 6 times and still be cheaper than buying one pair of OEM red lol

Thanks on both. No bar, but I do have a refrigerator full of beer!

If I double stack the Mini S and Boxster S I can fit four cars in there.
