Thanks!

I had GB on my short list but felt, like you, that a lighter colour showed not only the lines but the accent details better... Chalk is still my number 1 choice.

lol. Never noticed that watermark before. Beautiful car.

Just when I think I've seen enough chalk rolling around Newport Beach, seemingly on every other late model P car on the road, I look at my car again and don't regret getting it for a second.

Thanks, it is amazing how a understated colour like Chalk still gets incredible reactions from non-Porsche observers, from the car beside you to pedestrians on the sidewalk, shouts of approval and admiration and of course offers to trade yours for theirs on the spot.

Nice to see that you went with the Aurum wheels, it really sets off the corners.

I came close to ordering Satin Bronze in the recent Apex VS-5RS group buy... and I probably should have, it would have been a nice change between summer and fall wheel sets.

^^^^ @icon Looks sharp, is that the classic interior that I see?

Not that I would like the prospect of the bad weather in Florida, but the sun and palm trees form a perfect backdrop for your Spyder!

Default No palm trees but still a beautiful day on the South Island...

Sunny and warm enough for some top-down motoring!

I thought I would hate this combo but it's not bad! Chalk ftw!

My long waited GT4 finally arrived. Just picked it from my detailer/PPF installer (AJ at Supreme Shine NY)

A few photos from Delivery Day at PEC Atlanta on 1/18. I relied on this thread heavily when I selected my paint color so wanted to contribute. More to come...

Apparently, it is still winter here, I better break out the sunscreen!

Default Bumps for those Chalk photos!

This Spring has actually been very good for the convertible crowd, even if we do see rain, it has been short lived and followed but drying winds and sun, so if I can get out so can you!

Our new Cars and Coffee location on the South Island is at Uptown, usually from 9am-11am every Sunday, last weekend was no different, I even found a suitable sport to park. At the end of coffee the roads were dry and the sun peeking out, so it was a top-down drive home, well not directly home, I needed to make sure that the drive was long enough to thoroughly warm up the engine oil...
