You're so close! I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the color and pictures. In all honesty, I just need to see the color in person. I chickened out and changed the color on my build back to Chalk. That was at least build change #12 since I secured the allocation back in June.

This states that PTS is a stop order. Is that the true "Paint to Sample Plus" (IE wife's nail polish) or does that include options from the Custom Color pallet (IE. Signal Yellow)????

It's been a while, I don't know where they're at with it now, but my SA told me several weeks ago that it's a full order stop on all PTS for 718s. I'm actually not sure about the GT4/Spyder, but I was told it ain't happening for PTS until PAG says otherwise.

Landed on Arctic Grey. Freeze next week Sept 3rd for 911 4GTS.

Started w Ice Metallic as reminded me of my first 911 (1985 marble grey targa). But ended up shifting base white as seemed to be “more fun” and energy… but thought it’s just white … so shift thinking from track adjacent to more elegant w fun and hit on AG.

i too started to see AG “like” colors on all types of cars but pretty much that’s true w every core color… and SA said today that PTS is a “5-6 mo added delay” (my target delivery is Nov 11 (11/11 not bad for a 911!).

I’m struggling w interiors. Yes black GTS package or leather w stitching is easy ,.. but trying to see if AG can work with something more “fun” like 2 tons seats (light outer and grey inner) or other interior ideas.

Might want to take this over the 992 forum, especially if you're talking interiors. There are a ton more options for the 992.

(Also using the acronym AG doesn't seem efficient in the context of Porsche colors. You could also be talking about Adventurine Green... or Agate Grey)

I hear you on the use of “AG” but:
- i opened by talking about Arctic Grey
- and this is the “Official Arctic Grey Color thread” it didn’t seem like it was a big stretch to use AG after i typed it once. 😉

Placed Final Build today for freeze Aug 29 (not 3rd!) with target delivery Nov 11!! Arctic Grey 992 4GTS

I know the context clues of this thread it was more in general. A gentle reminder... and I literally thought about calling this out specifically when I posted it and now realize I should have.

None of it matters anyway I probably typed this pre-coffee, just like now.

Does this mean you might have the final build picture to share on here?! Clearly none of us are eager to see more real photos of this color on the sports cars

Awesome to see another AG(ARTIC GRAY)
My allocation is for a GTS RWD Coupe - January delivery. Here is my build, took me over an hour to make up my mind over SharkBlue and not the Lightweight Pkg… both are just too much color and anxiety… http://www.porsche-code.com/PPPZW6S9

I’m following this thread hoping to see a 718 or 992 photo or video of the color…

From what I'm reading, his build hasn't even frozen yet.

Mine is "scheduled for production" with a start date of 9/2; it froze on July 15. I'm hoping I get the Porsche build pics within the next couple weeks, I'll be sure to post them as soon as I get them.

Nice build. You go wo sunroof for looks preference or weight? I went leather (as in SoCal and wanted air) and did full stitching/ belts/ dials in Red. Really think your Blue stitching/ belts will also look great w Race Tex subtle grey and your Arctic Grey (note: not “AG”.. I’ll never type “AG” again for arctic grey as i was scolded above👆🤣 )
if your delivery is Jan then you have more time before freeze? (I freeze today for Nov 11 target)

As long as it's within the confines of this thread I'll allow it.

I just locked in my 911 GTS in Artic Grey. I wasn't 100% sure about the color until I saw it on a Cyanne out in the direct sunlight. In pictures on my phone in the sunlight, it looks blue but in person, it looks close to pic in the configurator but a little lighter.
