Guards Red!

But Speed yellow, mexico blue, sapphire, and other jelly bellies are great too.

Friends dont let friends order this car in gray/silver.

Just sayin.

Porsche white is the best white in the car business. It suits the 911 perfectly. Very much like red is to Ferrari. That said, approximately 35% of all Porsche's on the road today are silver.

Frayed, I could not agree more about grey and silver. They do not look good on a 911 but worse on a GT3.

I love Porsche (carrera) white, but already have it on my Spyder, which I intend to keep. Would be nice to have something loud for the GT3.

Consider yellow? It looks good on the GT3.

What color stitching would you choose to go with the Racing Yellow exterior? Red or the Silver?

Silver with the yellow belts since yellow stitching is not available. What about brake caliper color?

With satin black wheels? Get your paint guy to paint the calipers to match the racing yellow?

I've been considering White, GT Silver, and Rhodium .... my wife is lobbying for Racing Yellow. I'm toying with it in the configurator and it sure looks sweet with black wheels, I'd go satin of course - not the glossy ones from the factory. I keep thinking a GT3 deserves a color like Racing Yellow.

In the other colors (White or one of the silvers) I'd go with the red stitching, love the way that looks.

I'd definitely get the calipers repainted to match the exterior.

Are you planning to go with the platinum wheels or opt for the black or painted silver? If black wheels red calipers would not work. However, since the painted silver wheels have the colored Porsche crest red caps it would not be a problem. I am asking my dealer to order the platinum wheels with the Porsche color crest instead of the grey black GT3 caps. The platinum wheels with the grey black caps are too dull making the whole wheel disappear.

I was toying with Racing Yellow exterior, blacked out headlights, painting the dash trim in exterior color, ordering it with the steel brakes and the base wheels then painting the calipers to match the exterior and painting the wheels satin black.

I hadn't paid any attention to the silver wheels with the Porsche crest, I'll take a look at it though.

Silver OEM Spyder 19s currently. I am sending them out tomorrow to try and recreate the OEM special edition gloss black with silver lip. It's not easy to do aftermarket, but Porsche wants flat out stupid money to paint them from the factory.
