I have a 2021 Spyder on order, Carrera Metallic White with Black wheels. I'm considering adding some graphics/decals as shown in the image below. But I'd like opinions of other. Like the look or not?


Got 2021 Spyder on order coming in January. Seeking opinions on my decal plan. Who likes it? Who thinks I'm wrecking it?

Hey Guys new to the Forums here. Just Ordered my Guards Red GTS 4.0 yesterday 10/22. I know there will be a wait for it obviously. Still excited it is the 1st Porsche I have ever ordered for myself. 6 speed, Gloss Black wing, Brushed Aluminum Black trim inside. Also had them put just 718 across the back. I will keep everyone updated on progress of the build.

Brad

just a gentle/polite reminder that this thread is for "Paint To Sample" (PTS) builds (or CXX related), i.e *not* a standard color from the available palette ...

That's a great find; thanks, Larry, Just ordered a pair for 981 (Sapphire Blue). For 982, I might do this route as well, as opposed to CXX; lot cheaper! Of course, I'll have to settle for a color close to my target PTS color (assuming I get in the PTS queue).

Perhaps @halfmonkey can edit the thread title and put *PAINT TO SAMPLE* at the beginning, the PTS is a little hidden.

I changed it but it's not showing on the main thread page with the updated name.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong. If someone knows how to change it, please let me know because I see the name change when I'm in the thread but it's not showing on the main GT4/Spyder thread page.

good luck with PTS, ironically I heard that my allocation was finally approved for PTS after I had ordered another car in Miami Blue ...

Ahh, that blows!! Do you know for which month is that allocation for? I turned down the December allocation because it wouldn't take PTS. No visibility beyond that yet.

I had to move my allocation build date from Oct to Nov, then December, then January - I initially my PTS request (because my SA filed it too late) was denied, but I was told about 2 wks ago that PTS was now available

you can have your SA request the PCNA Regional mgr to have an allocation moved in order to avail yourself of PTS availability

Thanks, Larry. I've sent your post to the sales manager. Hope he can make it happen. I don't care about time frame; just wanna be able to get in.

Miami Blue is actually a nice, catchy color. If I didn't have Sapphire Blue and Miami still available for MY21, I would consider it; but, it's moot! For a Spyder, would look pretty cool.

I would pick Sapphire over Miami anyday!
