He said he could. Within a few percentage points of a 100% match. Personally I’m trying to come up with a simple cool vintage/retro Motorsport stripe to match with Voodoo Blue or contrast with it.

My thoughts exactly.... Not that I'm complaining, I realize just how fortunate I am to have an allocation at all, but sure wish I could get the full race-tex interior and carbon scoops/airbox without the unpainted carbon hood.

Yeah, I guess I could do CXX, but paying the big Weissach package $ then another similarly large CXX fee to undo part of the package seems a bit like flooring the throttle with your right foot while pressing the brake with your left.

I'd love to see a non-weissach, full leather car in person before my freeze date but I think that's extremely unlikely... Anybody with scheduled early US deliveries spec without the Weissach package? I'd love to hear your thoughts after you take delivery if possible.

I didn’t get the weissach, didnt care for that look unless the roof can also be CF but I paid extra to get the race Tex dash.

See time stamp 4:56 in the you tube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LbOOLYHYqw
MY23 PTS Ruby Star on order. Scheduled delivery in November of this year. Am I salty that Ruby Star Neo may end up a whole lot cheaper and less exclusive than PTS Ruby Star? Maybe a tad. But that JWW dude is full of ****e. I just saw a 992 GT3 in Ruby Star this weekend and it looks stunning, not pink at all.

Never judge a youtubers success based on their own produced videos .....So many fake youtubers out there, he might be one of them. This is mine, that is mine, taking delivery etc....who really knows for sure. Just look at Savage Garage....were those really his cars?

But one can judge the person themselves by their videos they make.
Oh I would agree with you. My assessment is based on what I see in the video, not much more. The textiles thing is his families business and read about it elsewhere.

I actually take the presenter stuff back....I'm not really impressed by his presentation ability. That's part of why I don't like his content anymore. The content that I didn't mind recently, was the custom build process of his DBS. Thought that was interesting.

I think the darker the PTS color the more wiggle the room will be on not having to be a 100% exact match.

Also what helps is that if you are doing a custom hood stripe, it won't be touching the "real" paint on the car, so it will be that much harder to tell the difference in color.

Frankly, the difference in depth, sheen, and orange peel (have to use very high quality vinyl) could be more noticeable than the color match itself given the lack of overlap.

Not sure. But with 18'' of carbon between the stripe and body and factoring in different light angles etc. I would think it would be just fine. Anthony will be available for questions I am sure once he posts some stuff up.
