Yeah, I checked that option in mine! I like the color of Gentian blue so wanted to keep it on the interior trim but it looked incomplete stopping it at the climate control. If I chose white or PTS, I would've done black aluminum.

Thanks! Thats what I was hoping to see. I had found a MB video on youtube that looked good, but was wanting to see something a bit more blue, and this is it. I think I might have to check this option now too haha. I agree it looks a bit incomplete to me. Maybe I'll delete my other thread after seeing this. I love your yellow stitching inside too!

Looks pretty good, I wouldn't bother if you don't plan on heated seat though, would make the 'blank' button stick out more IMO

Track day at VI Motorsport last week. Just changed to 3rd and would be doing about 140kmh here. Jeez the sound they make at WOT and at those speeds is intoxicating!!! Its a shame that I'll likely never get to experience flat out in 4th or even 5th

Tigers you will be hooked. The 981 platform on track is driving nirvana. Don’t save the car for the next owner. Drive it like it was meant to be driven!

I believe I am hooked, had a blast at COTA.

Got many compliments on the gentian blue color from others at the track. Excuse the dirty car, end of the weekend picture when the sun finally came out.

That smiles so bright, I gotta wear shades. Great to see an enthusiast having a great time. COTA is on my wish list to drive.

There is a Gentian Blue Spyder in the Marketplace, which I drove and it convinced me to sell my 991.2 Targa GTS and order one: https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1252744

Sounds & looks great.

Pics turned out well. Pre-traded it in today for a 992 GT3 coming this fall. Look for it coming on the market next week from Porsche Chandler. Found out I wasn't a convertible guy and prefer 911s.

Hey joejenie, just curiosity, how is the 992 GT3 allocation going (I know there is probably a thread out there for this somewhere, but since you mentioned...)? Are they still charging the usual ADM?

I think dealers are charging ADM for the first ones for sure. I think if you wait, the ADM goes away in 6-9 months as usual. I'm not paying a ADM but mainly because I have a good relationship and buy a lot of cars from the dealer (and usually trade my stuff back to them).
