Default Finally here -- my PTS Cayman

It took a year I think almost exactly....Thanks to Brett and the Exclusive team to pull this together with me and she is finally here.

A couple pics to share for now, will post more later on the story and it isn't quite finished yet, but odd -- i have to drive on an errand or two...or three...



best,
George

Well, it's not a color that I would have the courage to pick (I'm more of a gray/silver kind of guy), but I think that it's rather magical...whew! And I'm glad that you didn't specify black wheels...the silver ones work quite nicely.

You need to tell us what the interior and exterior colors are....please!

Hey Guys, back from a great little romp -- what a hoot. It really does ride on a f-n rail.

It is Signal Yellow. -- 114.

milehigh was right on the nose. the leather is Ascot Brown -- turns out to be the exact same leather from the CGT. Textured and everything. I figured they would die the current leather the ascot brown color but turned out to be the real deal. Will track down some close ups. it really is kind of insane. it all started when i showed brett my old brown leather wallet and said i wanted to go more old school classic and we went through the LTS list one by one. They even made the leather keyholder from it with the pebble grey stitching.

the stitching is pebble grey which is a white silver color against the brown. Credit Brett for that one. He noticed the stitching on my old wallet and said that is what we needed to do.

Thanks
George

Wow! That's an amazing spec, congratulations on not just the car, but having the creativity and patience to make it happen...What a result! It is a perfect example of one of my favorite things about the brand, more specifically Porsche Exclusive...If you can dream it up, they can make it - Thank you for sharing!

Nope. Not by Porsche Exclusive. There are a couple interesting pieces that could not be covered under LTS -- but when you look at the "standard" full leather packages can indeed be covered.

I am still debating whether to put the wheel matching == color only not texture or keep it black. since there is some black -- the wells, the roof lining, visors and some bits/bobs, it is part of the whole, rather than an endless see of brown.

My better half and a couple others with sound design views say keep it as is, but...still trying to picture which I prefer.
