It has been a while on this thread....Guards Red is not as popular as chalk or GT silver nowadays . ----- picking her up this week...Stunning color in person....getting PPF now.

Had to go with the guards red chrono in in the interior to bring it together. @P-car-Vancouver - since we were on the same boat

Nice! So did you end up getting your 18 way seats? Did you happen to notice what tires you got? I think you can get Michelin, Pirelli and maybe Dunlop is what my SA mentioned.

Yes, I got my 18 ways!

I got PS4S too! Once the build is completed your SA can look at the tire code on the computer system then google the code, Rennlist post will pop up telling you which is which. The first two letters determine if French michelins or Pirellis - you can find out before you get your car.

This is the article I was referring to...held true for me!

If the OP could get the title of the thread changed to include GTS 4.0, the net would widen considerably.

Steve, I would love to see some more images of a Guards Red GTS 4.0 with Silver wheels. Most I see have the standard Satin Black wheels.

Default Guards with satin platinum

Here is a GTS 4 with Satin Platinum wheels, which I am really happy with. I spent a ridiculous amount of time agonizing over carmine vs guards, and had convinced myself that guards was almost orange. But, I think that is strictly a phenomenon of pictures/screens. So far, I have never seen it look anything other than a spectacular red. I would definitely choose GR again.


In direct sunlight

In less flattering light/garage, the car still looks good.

I totally would but I can't change thread titles. It would have to go to an admin/mod.

Agreed, and in fact I did choose it again. If I get another Porsche someday, it will be GR as well. Unless they bring back Sapphire blue.

Yes, I originally want Sapphire blue but when I place my order of my 2.5T GTS, they just discontinued and end up go for GR and absolutely love this decision. And also go for GR on our second 718 too without a second though! Well actually did thinking of switch the order to shark blue for a split second LOL

Red with platinum for the win

Could you pull forward 15’ so the background is trees instead of playground equipment? lol #backgroundmaterial
