So many lizards! I like lizard but it was vetoed by my wife and daughter and they were right - it’s not us. I went black and probably always will unless there is a blue that really appeals. You should revisit the yellow option. I won’t have a yellow car because of ‘traumas’ suffered with the one I had as an undergrad, but I really would love one. There are a few Racing Yellow RS’ around us and they are extremely striking. It is perhaps the nicest contrast with the WP. Yellow may highlight the shape of the RS even better than lizard. I grew up in Canada, which is where I had my yellow 2-seater, and that is really the colour I’d advise for you.

LG is virtually identical to Gelbgrun which is arguably one of the "best" PTS colors. Sure a lot of people have LG, but what are we talking about a few hundred? If the green seat inserts are too loud, they can easlily be swapped out.

Just to hijack the thread a little I am with you on Lava. I liked it and almost ordered it with my RS but I went Guards Red. I still have second thoughts about Lava over the GR but I do like the way the GR pops. I did order the Weissach Package with mine and I feel it goes with the car better than I thought it would. When mine was ordered the 909 option with the painted hood was not available and if it was I think I would have ordered it that way at the time. After taking delivery of the car I am glad it wasn't available because the hood, roof and rear wing in exposed carbon looks awesome with Guards Red exterior. But that is why everyone has different tastes in colors and options.

You have a lot of options! I generally like cars in their "special" release colors. In this scenario though, it's more that I don't care for Chalk on the RS over loving LG over Chalk.

Op, go try see the colors yourself and decide. Asking the internet for something this subjective and personal is futile. I drove almost 160 miles to go see LG and glad I did.

The white with all black accents pops pretty well and you can stripe a white car very easily (my RS will get striped a couple days after delivery).

Chalk will have better resell, but I like the Lizard Green better. Mine is Guards Red.

Video inspiration GT2RS. 4min in

My Build is Locked. After cycling through many different colors first chalk, then green, then white and now finally Miami blue. I finally stuck with something. Miami Blue , Weissach Pack with exposed hood,Magnesium wheels in Silver, PCCBs, Interior stitching in yellow, Went with the sliver seat belts to hopefully match up with some silver/black houndstooth seat inserts. The inspiration for the build came from a GT2RS is similar scheme that captivated me. Right now it might be the highest dollar spec build in Canada at $291,955 . I call it the Miami depreciation spec lol. Now the long wait till late June begins.

Since when has Lizard been considered undesirable?
