I picked up my GTS 4.0 late last week, it's still not in my possession, but I wanted to at least post some pics to help others. I found this thread very helpful in my ordering process.
I also did the GB painted interior with the Chalk seats and painter climate control. My wife initially thought she'd like the CF more, but I really like the color. Typical GB, it really changes based on the angle and available lighting.

I love the chalk interior with the blue exterior and interior accents. Nicely done.

Beautiful car, but do exercise caution regarding the trousers you wear on those 'almost white' leather seats... I had those in my 14 Cayman S, and although beautiful, they sucked up the blue dye ink from any jeans I wore, and it was pretty much impossible to clean it all out so they they kept a new, clean appearance. As pretty as they were and nice to have in the Texas heat, I probably wouldn't try them again.

Very nice. If there's one thing I wish the Spyder/GT4 would offer is the carbon fiber steering wheel. It seems that the one from your car would have been a plug and play as it has black leather and the spoke trim is very similar to the "chrome" finish from the Spyder. I would have gladly paid the extra premium for carbon fiber steering wheel. I even went as far to ask if they would allow it through CXX and was told no.

Nice spec. One thing that "sucks" about getting the GT4/Spyder are that you can't get some of the options available on the GTS 4.0 such as blind spot monitoring, memory seats, keyless entry, carbon fiber steering wheels, etc.

I'm having them treated for protection against that, I also have some protection I'll put down as well. Matt from Obsessed Garage has talked about it and I'm familiar/happy with the brand. I had cream in my precious Panamera and they held up well, that was the big reason why I was comfortable getting the Chalk interior too.

That was exactly what steered me towards the GTS, I don't do a ton of track, maybe a couple days a year at most (maybe I'll do more without engine starvation issues of the .1?). Also my wife and I love to do long distance road trips and general tooling around on back roads, so the GTS would be more in its element there. I really liked the options and spec of the GTS, although I do wish I could turn off the auto blip feature. It also helped I was first for GTS vs 10th for GT4, I'd have been fine waiting, but I'd still be waiting 9 months later. I love how this turned out and is nice for my spec.
Spyder would have been slick, but I like the thought of bringing golf clubs and more space on said trips. I'm envious of you Spyder guys tho lol.

Gentian blue gives you a lot of variety. Almost Saphire blue in the sun, night blue at night, with hints of purple in overcast. Never boring. Well done.

Default Gt4 Gentian Blue

Just picked up my GT4 that was stuck in port for 6 months in a stop sale. New engine and eight year warranty. Next set of pictures will be after stealth PPF. Can’t wait to get it back!
