Getting either of these blues would save me a heap of cash, though. Gentian looks fire in this pic, but shark is livelier. (Mandatory green reference here)
All right my green-loving peeps, I'd like your thoughts on the following 4RS build, used as a placeholder for a spyder rs, and also having to use Viper green as the closest (?) PTS match to the missing python shade. Does it work? Gold wheels working? Too much?
I personally don't think gold wheels work on lighter green cars. On Underberg or Brewster or even Oak Green Metallic sure, but not a Signal, Python, Viper, etc. To each their own.

I freaking love it. However even though that's basically what i have currently, if given the choices i would have gone with a darker green. Dark green has always been a dream car color of mine and i wrapped my old S2000 in a dark british racing green.
@dgrobs has a Viper Green GT3 that we still need to compare side by side but he may have thoughts here? As I recall he thinks Viper is very similar to Python so I think you will be happy.
I think the combo looks great, and if you decide you don't love the wheel color you can sell them pretty easily and get another color.
If you could get pts without the wp, I’d do that and use black wheels with yellow accents (pccb and interior) like I have now, but the 4RS has pts tied to WP, and I think the black hood and black wheels would be too much.
If I can get an allocation and if they’re doing pts and if I can get a pts slot. lol So pretty much a notional conversation here.
I spent 9 months changing my build around. In the end I went with the most simple config in Python Green. 2 colors, Green and Black.
Python Green Exterior
Black standard interior
2 way seats
Only options: Best Headlights, Black calipers (too expensive but look nice), flat black wheels, standard radio, no leather in interior, storage net on console, fire extinguisher (would skip that if again), lizard green seatbelts (would skip this if doing over), that is it. Car is perfect for me. You could also get GTS interior or Leather interior.
Simple config in one color plus black is shown in the GTS 4.0 catalog / brochure for a reason. Most of the GTS 4.0 press cars are also in this color scheme, either red or Python.
I have owned the Bose in a 2021 718 Cayman base model and also the base radio in my 2023 GTS 4.0. The base radio sounds nicer to me. Neither is great. Car is too small, too loud and I like to drive it with windows cracked better than sealed-up so that is part of issue as well. This is not my daily car so it does not matter much to me.
For a luxury version I would go GT silver with black leather interior or blue leather interior. That will look good and be worth $$$ no matter what in the future.
This worked for me, everybody has different tastes.
Then I would tone down the interior which means agonizing over trim again. I suppose default aluminum (what's it called?) or leather.
Are you getting a GTS or a GT4/Spyder? I went with interior trim matching exterior paint. I love how the inside of the car looks every time i get into it. It looks a tad gaudy on the configurator but i'm soooooo happy i made that decision. Its one of the few times where a car has looked just as flashy on the inside as it does on the outside.

I agree. Python interior trim looks fantastic. I was minutes away from this configuration before I decided to go with Chalk.

In a PG? I thought you could do deviated interior but missed it last time I looked at configurator. Probably go this route for a really clean neutral look inside the PG.
PG trim looks pretty nice but don't think I want to commit that far. Now, red dials or not...
