Ok. This is an entirely different topic. Everyone knows that the standard, silver deviated stitching is the Gentlemans choice. The red and yellow option only exists so that we can easily identify men of ill repute.

Or to identify rich men deviated stitching as going for the red / yellow costs an extra $1700 CAD

Me neither, which is why silver stitching + standard white paint for me. I philosophically asked myself "When does this option madness end? There has to be an end somehow!"

Honestly, I bought mine off the lot. If I would have got an allocation I would have surely picked python green and probably red stitching, belts, gauges etc.

I’m actually glad that it worked out this way. The silver stitching and silver door pull handles are actually the same color as the vent surrounds and the seat backs. The whole thing kind of has a cool understated look that I would’ve never went for on my own, but I really like it.

@2seats... is your car flat white or CWM? It looks great in those parking garage photos. Sorry if it was specified somewhere earlier in the thread; I didn’t see it.

Thanks. It’s flat white.

That red Aston Martin behind it is also mine. So I get my bright color kicks with that.

there’s a thread here that has a few shots that may be of help to you. You are likely best served to go to a dealer and take a look at two side by side. Unlikely you will get 2 gt4s or Spyders to do this with but I would think whatever nameplates you have access to should give you enough context to make a confident decision

Flat white or CWM , it sure looks like chalk, are you sure man?

Disregard those comments... those guys have a running joke about how one of their cars isn't chalk but looks like chalk etc. I am still confused myself. They might chime in and clear the air, but until then I can assist by saying don't get confused with their back and forth. Westcoast's car is chalk though, that much I know.

My car is White (non metallic).


Look at Alan S’ avatar and the photos he posted. Looks like a completely different color. It’s just lighting.
