- good point on the color matched emblems thanks
- good point on the black brushed aluminum ill take a peek
- 18 ways are wirth it to me, love them
- CarPlay/ Siri , yeah that was an oversight thank you
I've had 2 way and 18 way seats. Both work well enough for me (6-1, 175). The 18 way adjustments are nice, but I'd go with the 2 way seats from a price value standpoint. Obviously the tighter lateral fit and lumbar adjustments available with 18 ways may be necessary for some drivers. Staying in your budget, I would go 2 way seats, black calipers, platinum wheels and spend the $1900 savings on PPF. Definitely a no go on the green, red and gold Santa's sleigh.

Not a fan of python green but I gotta give props to Porsche for getting the name right. It is dead on the color of a green tree python.

Stay with Python if that was your first (gut) choice. No other color compares. Everything else is minor and easily fixable.

Just wanted to put this out there, as I’m at my local dealer and was happy to see they had a Python Green paint sample. For reference, the top is Lizard Green, lower right is Mamba Green Metallic (darker than I expected), and the lower left is Python Green (the backside claims it’s a metallic color but it certainly doesn’t look like one).

Hey are you copying me??

I’m thinking Python Green looks better isolated than it does next to other shades of green.

To me it looks great both isolated and next to any other green (from loud to subdued). It’s as if it combines the good parts of all greens into one.

Yes, it’s very dependent on the lighting. It almost looks metallic when isolated but then becomes a bit too dark when next to other greens. Out of these three, I think Lizard Green looks best. Almost PTS-like (which it might be now, maybe that’s why they dropped it as a special color option).

All 3 of these pics are Python Green. Lighting and camera seem to make a difference. Don’t have a GT4 in Python coming but I do have a 992 Carrera S coming 😀

Here’s a pic I took at my dealer of the Python color sample. This was outside sunny day in Texas.

^ Looks great even though that sample could use a good polish and wax.
