Definitely was my main reason for selecting it. I like the muted gray colors anyway, but this one has a really cool shifting feature. That first pic really shows the duality of the paint; you can pretty clearly see where the shadow from the building hits the car, it’s noticeably a more bluish tint.

I’ll grab more pics tomorrow.

love it! Can’t wait to see you around ripping up the roads.

I am assuming you are getting PPF done thru PNH, is that the lead time currently about a week? Mine will hopefully be there in 10days.

same! Hope to meet you on some drives!

Im actually not having PNH do my PPF as I have a guy who is the only one I’ll allow to touch my paint. It’s scheduled for PPF and Ceramic with him week after next. He did my last 718 as well. I’m only doing tint through the dealer and should get sent out for that tomorrow.

Cavallo auto salon is also fantastic in Houston, he did my Ferrari paint correction and PPF which was a very intricate application, turned out perfectly.

Cavallo is excellent. The folks behind Alara Garage are good friends.

Yeah, good folks. I kept some cars there while I was building my garage, fun to just walk through and check out all of the cars!

Has anyone gotten their pictures back in TYD? Seems strange that we lost them in the first place

Checking in, can't believe it took me this long to make an account here! Had a 1987 944 for 4 years, sold it and regretted it. My Rubystar GTS is currently sitting at Emden, should get to the dealer 11/18 but was originally supposed to be there 10/28. Seems to line up with what others here are experiencing.

congrats! Ruby Star is a very loud color. Someone local to me has a GT3 in Ruby Star. What are your plans for the car?

My plan is to drive it until the wheels fall off. This is my forever car. My 944 was black and I loved it, but I think that the 718 looks better in bright colors!

Cool 718 Boxster GTS Build Freeze Point Reached!

Just reached the build freeze point on a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0L 6MT. And now join the waiting game. Sharing a few pics from the configurator.

I was inspired by the colors of the country roads I will be joy-driving this on (western Connecticut, near Roxbury / Washington CT and Westchester County mostly - Hayfields anyone?), hence the green / brown / tan color combo. Can't wait to see how this looks in person!

Will be doing full stealth PPF on every inch since it will live with me in NYC.

Everything else I went full comfort / luxury spec: 18-way seats with ventilation, raised 10mm, all leather (no alcantara / race-tex) with the black brushed aluminum which looks fantastic in my dad's Panamera GTS, and a bit of vanity with the Porsche crests on the seats (because why not!? I needed at least one silly option in the list)

There were never any pictures uploaded to my TYD yet the build process and shipping updates came and went with no issue. I’m out to sea on the Conductor so I’m going to assume the window to see my production pics has come and gone.

For anyone who isn't locked yet, there is a new LED headlight option in the US and Canada configurator.
