It's a great color, and the pics of the slammed car on black wheels and red calipers is very, very hard to argue with. Just gorgeous. I think Miami has arrived, and yet it's day is coming. Congrats on a beautiful car!

Very exciting day yesterday - went down to LA to pick up my GT3. Only had a short drive for an hour or so, before then dropping her off to get detailed and protection applied. Will be going back down next week to pick her up and drive back up the coast to the Bay Area for a nice break in run.
All I can say at this stage is that I really, REALLY wanted to stomp on that gas pedal (it took all my will power but I refrained) - as those valves opening just shy of 4K revs is just a big tease!
I forgot my camera - so some iphone shots below. I’ll play around with the filters later to see if I can get a better color representation (needs a touch of green added) - but I just love the color in person. Sure is bright - but hey it’s a GT3 and has big *****.
It rained in LA so the car was dirty sitting outside, which was okay with me as I’d asked them not to wash it.
The dealer experience was definitely an experience. I might write a bit more on that later - after taking a few deep breaths and checking in with PAG. But main thing is I have the car at the agreed upon price.

Awesome Matt ! Thanks again for sharing.
Again, can't wait to hear more of your driving/ownership experience ! Curious where you having your car wrapped/detailed?

After asking around, and then getting a great recommendation from a Rennlister - I went with Daniel from Car Connoisseur for the detailing and nano coat, and Mike from Mykodesign for the Suntek wrap.
They are located in Anaheim - so just took the one hour drive down there. They also do mobile (come to you) and are up in the Bay Area quite often.
Great experience talking to them and handing it off to them so far.
If you are on Insta - you can follow them and my car at the moment at The_car_Connoisseur

Played with the iphone filters when taking original photos. The warm filter gives the closest representation to actual, but a bit too much green and a bit too washed out. First is with warm filter and closest to actual color.

Link to video of post PPF. This is the detailer video. These guys did an awesome job! Thanks for the tip @Mooty.
