Researched for a year and especially learned so much here (thank you Rennlisters!), waited almost a year after putting down a deposit and finally have my first new Porsche - a GT3 Touring.

I couldn't be happier, the best car I have ever owned in terms of everything really. It doesn't get unwanted attention. It doesn't have "too much" power for the roadways - even in stop and go traffic or going 40mph on windy roads, it is an absolute blast in terms of feel and sound (the Ferrari wanted to go really fast all the time and all the attention...not for me). It looks so timeless and right - I don't ever get out of it and not look back. The throaty sound of that engine and the stiff suspension, the gear box and third pedal (god I missed that)...just such a special car.

And a special shout out to Garry at Classic FX who made the beautiful 911R fabric houndstooth inserts for me - flawless and so easy to put on; another shout out to Ed (all class, this gentleman) who made the gorgeous bolster protectors I hardly notice are there; and to Chris at Renndecals who made me fantastic two-tone matte Singer style side decals. And again, thanks to all of you for all the learnings that helped me make the perfect choice (for me at least).

Absolutely stunning gt3! Congrats.

I have the exactly same stripes on my white 997 C2 and love them.

About the pepita inserts from Garry, are these the black/silver or the Agate/geyser color?

Thanks

zroom

Thanks!

These are the black/silver.

Hi Zroom, would you mind sharing your build sheet or build code?

I have a similar GT3 build on order, and I'm particularly interested to see how you spec'd the interior stitching, and which colors you used.

Of course - here you go: http://www.porsche-code.com/PJBVTBY5

I chose GT Silver stitching (same as 911R to match the OEM carbon fiber shifter boot stitching I sourced from Suncoast).

Beautiful. I'd spec one identical to that!

Great looking GT3! Enjoy!

She looks pretty darn good. Really like the PORSCHE livery- color perfect

Thank you all for the kind words! And also, again, for helping me make the right choice(s).

Where are the pictures of the 458? Congrats. Beautiful build.

Congratulations - Did Sam Pellegrino buy your 458? I knew he was pondering ...

Great question, long answer.
My GT4 was easy to spec deviated stitching, one liner, the GT3T is a lot different! Here are the subassemblies it takes to align them all:
24102 Rear Center Tunnel Cover Model Logo in Deviated Stitching 0.00
24103 Steering Wheel Rim with Deviated Stitching 0.00
24104 Seat and Headrest Logo in Deviated Stitching 0.00

Very nice spec. Let's meet up in South Bay. Just took delivery of my touring last week, too!
