My wife and I took several trips around the Central Florida area to see various colors in the flesh. We specifically went to see GT Silver Metallic next to Racing Yellow. No matter how hard I stared at the GT Silver car, Racing Yellow kept catching our eyes!

A brilliant color!

That's not just any garbage can, it's probably made out of carbon fibre.

Is your GT3 back from the body shop? Right now I have specd the reg wheels with the LED's. I have yet to see a pict of RY with the LED's. All RY coloured GT3's in picts have only shown the blacks. I'm still undecided on weather to get the blacks vs LED's. Definitely going with reg wheels, just don't like the gloss blacks, way too shiny.

By body shop I meant the production one, my car should come out of production next week, I hope to receive the car by end of the year.

Ryan, how did you finish the interior? Did you use any yellow accents, like belts, painted trim, etc? I'm still playing with the configurator on mine.

Well we actually looked at a couple of Racing Yellow 911s with the interior package painted, it was ok, but felt a little over the top. We decided to keep the interior simple. Yellow belts would look great, but knowing how my red belts in my race car have soiled, I can only imaging trying to keep yellow belts looking bright and uniform.

I don't care for the strange shape of the aluminum trim around the center console so I optioned that one piece in leather.

Here are the details of my build.

After delivery I am likely going satin black with the wheels.

Exterior
Automatically Dimming Mirrors with Integrated Rain Sensor (P13)
Extended Range Fuel Tank (082)

Front Axle Lift System (474)

Wheels
20" GT3 Wheels (431)

I'm going to do the gloss black wheels. I think between that and the black pdls the racing yellow really pops

I also will be doing the gloss black wheels and tinting the windows. Still undecided on the LED vs black xenons.

The LED are incredible in both looks and functionality. Love the 4 point running lights. I would strongly suggest the LED. My .02.

Before my build got locked I switched to LEDs bc I think the oval running lights (around the circumference of the headlight cluster) with the 4 bright "spots" have a pretty aggressive look.

I got the LEDs as well, did standard wheel finish and think they tie the best. Also plan to get silver aftermarket wheels in the Spring so black PLDS would have locked odd.

Should have my car in 2 weeks, being offloaded in RI today.

Thanks NateOZ, as we can see everyone with RY all have slightly diff interiors and wheel/light packages. Cool, not one alike.
