Outstanding pics but NEED MORE of the RS's please...lol
Google image search is your friend, nearly every pic of arctic grey is a GT4RS.
I wish there was more GT4 pics, but outside in different lighting. I submitted my final build to my SA last week, and have chosen Shark Blue after much deliberation, but some of these arctic grey pics got me second guessing myself. I haven't reached lock date yet, but I'm nervous about messing with my build, especially with the carbon buckets stop sale.

I am in the same boat! I just ordered a "regular" GT4 last week (in a Manual, my existing one is a PDK). I spec'ed Guards Red, but I am thinking of changing it to Chalk or Arctic Grey. Arctic Grey is growing on me. I did see it in person last week on a Boxster GTS 4.0, and it had more Blue in it than I thought it would. Not that that's a showstopper or anything. Also it has a Bordeaux Red Top, which was not a good combination. That didn't help.

Chalk was actually the other colour I was originally deliberating over with Shark blue, before Arctic Grey became an option. I keep telling myself myself it's a GT car, make it loud/fun, so that's how I landed on Shark Blue over Chalk....though I still turn my head whenever I see a Chalk Porsche of any model.
Some photos/videos of Arctic look great, then others I see I really don't like. I suspect the problem is more about how phone cameras are processing the photos though. I wish I could a GT4/RS in Arctic in person. The risk of ordering it and being unhappy with the colour keeps turning me back to Shark blue.

Here are 5 different pics of the Boxster I saw, at some good differentiated angles to show how it changes in direct sunlight and in the shadows.
To your point about the cell phone cameras - I agree. I remember it being a little more Blue in real life than it seems in these pictures.
Again, I don't think this is the best example, the red top and calipers do not match well with the body color for my tastes, and the wheels painted to match is a little much. I think a GT4 with just the Arctic Grey and Black or Platinum Wheels would look pretty good.

Yeah see in those pics in the shade, the colour looks great. The direct sunlight looks too much like primer that's had a coat of clear over it....again it could just be the way the phone has processed them.
Agree with the red. If I went Arctic, this would have been my spec.
Booty pic. I'll try to get some pics in direct sunlight when I get the car back from the detailers. i was too excited day of delivery to take many more pics.

Awesome, congrats! Looking forward to seeing some more pics. Did you go black or red calipers?

Yes, me too. Black Wheels and Black Calipers. My last three Porsches were that combination, I love that, a super clean look!
I would do that for any of my 3 shortlist candidates, Guards Red, Chalk or Arctic Grey...
I got red calipers only because I got shark blue seat belts and will eventually get my calipers to match, otherwise I'd spec black.
Red calipers look fantastic. The red top on that Boxster, especially WITH the red calipers (in a different shade), is too much IMO but to each their own.
Monochromatic has its value so it's not like I dislike the black calipers. But a little color is ok. The shark blue will look great too.

what a waste of an allocation that spec is... ewww

Totally agree. They took a gorgeous color and an amazing car and figured out how to mess it up. Is this a dealer spec or was it a customer car that is waiting to be picked up!?
