Just picked her up this afternoon. Has been at the dealer for over a week, had to wait for nice weather to bring her home.

In case anyone missed this in the classifieds :

Capitol Porsche posted this video with their ad.

White looks amazing! Really best shows the shape; looks like an alabaster sculpture. You did well with the black wheels too. Congrats!

Yes that white on black really pops. I hope that the gt silver with black does the same. Wheels are getting painted black the minute car arrives, and gt4 side scoops in flat black or carbon going on to complete the look. Want as much contrast as possible.

[QUOTE=33 TDX;12799238]I post more pictures tomorrow when Detailing and PPF get installed to the car, so far great sports car.[/QUOTE

Did you consider the Spyder Classic interior with Agate Grey? That's my colour / interior combination but I'm still not 100% convinced as I can't be sure of the shade of the red leather - in some photos it looks OK but in others it looks pink or even orange! The only example of Agate / Spyder classic I have seen is the car at Exchange Auto Group and even then the colours don't look consistent. My lock-down date is next week so I need to decide quickly - stick with Agate or go back to my original spec of Guards Red with black leather and red stitching.......

Agate with Spyder Classic will look awesome. It's been my favorite combo so far. The red is not pink or orange ish. If your dealer has any recent cars with garnet red interior you can get a sense of the color

Noob here...been lurking around a bit. I'm trying to settle on my configuration as well. Red simply doesn't photo well...will almost always be darker than what you see in pics online. I'm trying to decide between GT Silver and Agate to go with the classic interior. Flip a coin, both have their merits...my only fear is Agate will hide the key contours as darker colors sometimes do. If going with Agate, what color wheels? I feel like Platinum might look like an attempt to match (although I saw one on Pistonheads that looked good), so imho, standard silver or black is the way to go.

If you go with Classic interior the interior paint trim color is GT Silver irregardless of what the exterior color is...unless you can get Porsche exclusive to change it for $2000.

Congratulations! White does accentuate the lines nicely. Beautiful. How do you find the bucket seats so far? How is the seat back (fixed) lean angle? That is one of the key reasons I chose not to get.
