I am assuming you're asking me.

Andy, from RS Xperience, kept telling me I needed to add ceramics to my GT4 build. So I did and it moved my delivery date from Nov 4 to Dec 15. Now I just need to make another change next month to move it out further. An April arrival would be nice here in SW Ohio.😎

Default Waiting for lock in Shark blue

The black rims, top, and accents will make it all work. Super excited. I’m locked and it’s ready to be built.
Agreed. Coming off a Polar Silver drop top with Metropol Blue top and interior… really like the Shark Blue with Agate Gray leather, black wheels & top. Order placed awaiting allocation…

I hope that it’s built soon for you. I’m looking forward to seeing photos of that combo.

And I LOVE the satin platinum wheels, they look the best to my eyes regardless of color. Black wheels are so played out and look cheap to me, and silver is too bright and cheapens the look as well.

Probably the best pics of Shark Blue I have seen yet(GT4). This is actually good photography. Red calipers a little "contrasty" but what a great representation of the color. Make sure you "scroll" as there are about 5-6 pics.

Thanks, saw that on IG. For me, love the bling of the red calipers.

Those look like they have the color saturation enhanced - like you said with the brakes looking "contrasty" and the green on the posts and trees being too rich. But the hues look about right so its probably getting close.

I don't dislike it. I sure could have saved some money if I would have went with them and stayed away from the deviated stitching and dials and belts!!!

Lol. Right. I heaped a lot of stuff on mine… I intended it to be a spare build when I started out on this project. Anyway, I thought about doing the black calipers, but I actually like that dash of red. Well, I think so. Who knows, never saw it in person and then in photos after it locked. If I don’t like it, it’s easy enough to paint. I forget, did you do the black leather with blue stitching? I did black leather, blue stitching, and CF trim. It was scheduled to be built next week, and just asked this evening for a V code update from my SA to see if that’s still the schedule. In another month, there should be a lot of SB photos out there.

Yours is going to look fantastic! The red calipers will definitely pop nicely against Shark Blue. I think red generally works well because there are several other red bits built in with the reflectors and taillights.
