Official Waiting Room for 718 Spyder / GT4 / GTS Delivery...
Looks like a lot of you shared my disappointment with the loss of the Cognac leather, I am a huge fan of brown interiors as my current A91 MT supra has the cognac interior which I love, oh well did the next best thing of Gentian Blue over the black/chalk interior, worried about having to much white I did the black seat inserts as I have seen it the other way around and it looks great. Then did some other deviated stitching options like the leather steering column case, the floor mats with the chalk edging w/ black stitch and so on. When I first decided to get one I was set on 2 ways and manual steering and ended up with 18 ways and the electric steering column, figured I was doing the 18 ways for 2800, what was another 200 on the electric column... right? lol. Hate how dark the silver wheels look on the configurator, plan to ditch the red calipers asap for either paint matched or silver, have a few ideas in my head! Super excited to take delivery and go through the process. Wish I had more time to do a euro or even PECA delivery but oh well, next time!

I loath the red calipers, I think at least on the config they look awful against the blue, but I have an idea with paint matching them since Gentian is so dark I think the calipers would look black in most lights but have a little color in the right lighting! I figured no reason to pay $900 if I am going to change them, worst case I will do them black and it will still be less expensive.

I think if you are going to do black, you should just pay Porsche for it. Any issues they will cover - and personally, to do right, I'm guessing they remove them from the car - and the fewer times I have someone outside of Porsche touch my car, the happier I am. Now, my big concern is the clutch - another person has reported a failure at 7,500 miles. No track use. Ugh.

Im also doing black calipers. As many have pointed out since I'm going with Aventurine Green with Aurum wheels, the red calipers look out of place. I'm also right now of the mindset to reduce the amount of pulling apart of the car to do things that I want, hence why I'm doing Burmester sound system, because I figure that if I'm going to spend money for aftermarket, I'd rather just Porsche give me the best they have and be happy with that.

Not so with the 2 pedal manual with it's dual concentric clutches that are liquid cooled. The 2 pedal manual clutches should last the life of the car.

My exterior is going to be chalk, and I really do not like the red calipers. As I was using the configurator, I had a vision of myself in the garage with a can of Krylon spraying the calipers on my new car, which seemed unacceptable, so I gritted my teeth and selected the $900 option to paint them black.
I read that as he is planning to have them painted Gentian Blue.

Made another change to the build! hopefully does not push me back super far! added the painted safety bars, figured it would add a nice touch and I love the color so a little more won't hurt! need to find a photo a gentian car with them!
