Congrats on the car (and the move.)

That color is gorgeous! Yum.

If you ever need some painting to match or any kind of cosmetic mods, the best place in LA is Avio Piombetti's shop in West LA, imho.

They do high end cars (Porsche, Bentley, RR, MB, Ferrari, Lambo, Maserati, Bugatti) A bit more expensive but it's impeccable work. Avio is Italian born and opened a shop in NJ after immigrating to the East Coast. http://www.aviocoachcraft.com/

Here's a pic of my car at Avio's ready to get bumperette delete, plate hole fill, and Euro corners done.

Default 993 Granite Green

Hello from Germany!

Sorry to bump a rather old thread: just purchased a 993 Targa in Granite Green and wanted to ask if the OP still has the car. Unfortunately as a new member (just joined today to answer to this thread) I can‘t see any pictures in this thread.

Any other 993 in granite green being driven by rennlist members?

Looking forward to be in touch with fellow Felsengrün drivers!

Cheers,
Simon

Gorgeous car...congrats. Welcome to a great forum. Although I can't share the granite green experience, I can share that is a great looking car. Lots of fun ahead.

Wow! That's quite a unicorn!!! Granite Green is indeed a cool color and quite rare. I've only seen one before and that was Maz's (P1CR). Unfortunately it was stolen from his warehouse along with I think a GT3 about 10 years ago.

Granite Green is such a great color!
I first saw it on a 928 back in the late '80s and fell in love with it.
And it hasn't fallen out of favor in my mind all these years since.
The paint has so many personalities depending on the ambient light.

Enjoy the rare car!

Maz’s car was a beauty…….that car never did surface again unfortunately.

Congrats to the new Granite Green Targa owner. I LOVE these subtle colours on 993s. I also love bright bright coloured 993s. And black 993s……….

Fellow Porsche fans, thank you for the warm welcome and the nice words!

Shame that the OP's car has been stolen...would have loved to see some pics of his car.

I will get the car as soon as the weather will be a bit better over here in Germany, currently it's been raining cats and dogs for the last weeks. Hopefully I will manage to drive the 600km from the 993's current home to its wilnew home within the next 14 days.

Regarding the colour "Felsengrünmetallic" or "Granite Green": I was hooked when I saw the car for the first time and researched a bit about it as a 993 colour. Didn't find anything except this thread, so I came over here. It used to be a colour to choose for the G-Model, 928 and 964 as far as I know. So my Targa's first owner choose it from the Porsche Exclusive program.

I will gladly post more pics once I have the car in my garage. The interior is bi-color "Kaschmirbeige and black". For now I upload three more images for you guys.

Looking forward a lot to driving this beauty.

Cheers!
