This thread hasn't been too active lately, so I figure I'll post my lava CGTS that just arrived!

Killer!…. the sliver wheels make it (but I’m biased).

Nice! I learned recently that this color was discontinued, so I'm glad I selected it!

I went with the black rims and black leather interior (14-way seats). It looks like you went for black calipers?

I’d love to see your total configuration.

My bad. Hadn't seen your request for my build until reviewing the thread after its recent activity. If it isn't too late for you, here it is.....

Car got here the day after the Super Bowl. Here are a couple of IRL pics.

That is stunning - looks great with silver wheels and amber side markers. Black calipers are a nice touch too although I have seen Lava Orange GT3s with Red calipers and it doesn't look bad either.

Thanks. I chose the wheels because of the somewhat neutral platinum blades highlighted by the silver edgings.

As for the red calipers, I took enough risk when I decided to go with the carmine red GTS interior against the lava. It looks fine BTW. And a few weeks after delivery I noticed that my carmine tach has an ORANGE red-line and RPM markers LOL. Had I known it would have been a lot less agonizing making that decision.

Those pictures are the most true to life I've seen. I'm going to file this one and use it myself. Presuming an iPhone? Hoping not 'cause I'm a diehard Pixel guy and get grief from my kids for not having iMessage all the time..

Ha, used to be a nexus/pixel guy until I had to change to iPhone for work 2 years ago 🤷‍♂️
As I don’t tinker with phones as I once used to, the change was rather easy.

Re-photo, what’s interesting is color is very different from the photo app vs post upload using the web browser - need to check from laptop.

Color is so hard to capture in photo!

Some Agathe grey interior shots to come, if I can take good ones - great match to lava.

Actually, no offense to your iPhone, but you were on the right track regarding what system is rendering the picture. On my computer (yes, it is and has always been a Mac) the lava has that salmon-y cast. So that means that my Pixel is the winner because it's only ON the phone that the color is so perfectly matched to IRL.........Now I WILL tell my kids.
