That is a great build. I thought of black, black and yellow. Finally I went with this.


I wanted to have some red inside but not the seat belts (they get dirty easy)

I wanted to keep the focus on the Xenon's (they are the prettiest lights) for their silver look and the size and poise of the light gives the car a character and combines well with silver wheels and the PCCB's look really nice on this car.

I love the Guard red with black top and silver wheels look.

Westcoast

Very nice, my Spyder will be in Chalk, with yellow accents including the deviated stitching and belts, as I said very similar right down to the LED headlights interior options and sound... as for the wait it has already been 8 months since trading in my GTS, the scheduled delivery is for late May and I have finger's crossed there will be no delays. So it is much closer than it was when the Spyder/GT4 was announced, its arrival would be perfect for early summer driving!

Just checked with my SA and so far no delays to my production schedule for my Spyder and my Macan just exited production.

Westcoast

That is positive news, we need more of this!

Did you trade in your GTS 8 months ago for the Spyder allocation? Did they give you cash back since the new car is so far away or did you just get a trade in credit??

Westcoast

Essentially yes, traded in for the Spyder allocation, didn't expect cash back as I was told in advance that the Spyder wouldn't likely arrive until spring.

Someone should show you what "print screen" is....
I work in tech, and the number of people who still take pictures of their computer screen with a phone is way too damn high.

congrats! appreciate the initial thoughts overall and compared to the GTS and more retro Porsches, def. can't wait to get mine now!

I'm finalizing my spec and I CAN'T decide between these two...

Racing Yellow on Platinum wheels with Yellow PCCB's (basically the press car)

or

White/CWM on Aurum Wheels with Gloss Black PCCB's (love that Porsche made non yellow PCCB's a standard non CXX option for this car)

Help! Thoughts?

Mash

One of my favorite specs to date

hope this helps, and maybe sparks some light on your decision.
