EdGuard bolster covers in Arctic Grey delivered. Top notch quality as Ed is known for.

The picture below does not show it well but it is quite a bit darker than the silver thread. Arctic Grey is sitting on top of silver below.

Yep. I am disappointed with the lack of contrast on the Arctic Grey stitching. Arctic Grey is a blueish tone flat grey. And Deep Sea Blue is a Blue Black. Here is a up close pic of Arctic Grey. Its about 50% darker than what is presented on the online configurator. It blends well, but not much of a contrast.


Here is a real life example of Arctic grey...note the difference in color where the light reflects off the stitching vs color with no reflective light. And, nearly identical to the greyish tone Race Tex.

Looks like GT4RS is now CARB certified.

Porsche Club tour of the Zuffenhausen factory last Thursday. Taycon and 911/718 lines, and what a difference in mechanisation, age of workers and level of activity. The 911/718 line was running flat out with much older workers. What we all noted was the very high percentage of GT cars in the mix whilst we were there. One would think that is all Porsche makes.
The staff everywhere was wonderfully welcoming. If you have not been, do go.

To stay on topic, a tasty 4RS from PorscheExclusive Manufaktur was there.

I see the car has the LED lights.

Any updates on supply chain problems concerning the LED lights?

I have a GT4RS on order, the dealer in the Netherlands informed me this afternoon the production wil take place February 2023, but no certainty on LED lights.

I absolutely want those lights.

I told the dealer if the LED isn't available at that time he must postpone my order till the LED is possible.

Stil 5 months, so I hope it all comes together.

Greetings Robert, Netherlands

Default GT4RS CXX center stripe Carrara Design

Gent's,

I had a nice conversation with Anthony at Carrera Design this week. He is definitely working on some cool stripe kits and will definitely be able to replicate the CXX body color center stripe in very high quality vinyl that will be easier on the pocket book than 13K! Stay tuned. He said he would post here in this forum soon.

PDLS is not a option on a 4RS I’m aware of or I would of ordered it when LED was removed.

Default New Ruby Star Neo in 2023 vs Ruby Star 2022

Ruby Star 2022
Is anybody getting the new for 2023 PTS color Ruby Star Neo which I think looks different than the photo above. Mr JWW ordered his GT4RS in Ruby Star but said it was more pink than what he was expecting from Ruby Star Porsches of years past.

Hope they'll be able to color match PTS colors.

Don't do it....just get the car. Lights are just a minor issue.

I just checked the Dutch Porsche Configurator, the LED is stil on it.

So I don't get it.

I want those lights, I just want the car like I spect and ordered it, no compromise for me there.

I ordered the car 9 months ago.


It was possible for me to get the car in June, but at the time no PCCB possible (I have ordered those to) I declined the offer

The car is not cheap (understatement) so I only want the car as intentionally ordered

Ordered mine black, all wrap it Irish Green if I like it as much as as I think I will on the GT4.

Miserable color and option choices, I’d like the alcantara inside and the Ti exhaust tips bling, but I really don’t like Carbon Fibre on the exterior of the car and the unpainted bits never added to the look IMHO.





Maybe I’ll just slap some $500 martini strips on and call it good. Or vinyl + clear bra to match GT4.
