OK. Just got back from the dealer.
Despite committing to guards, in the back of my head I kept thinking black with pccbs. But after 5 911's in black, and seeing pics online of black 991 GT3s including the video shot recently of a black on display, I was left underwhelmed. I think it's b/c the black diffuser accents disappear on black, and lack of chrome/silver highlights. Perfect if you are looking for stealth. OTOH, I like the regular 991 in black.
So back to guards. Looking at two 991s in guards, I can only imaging how crisp the gt3 will look in red. It's gonna be great. Tho my wife is already giving me a hard time b/c she considers red so 'lookat me'. But I think thats *nothing* compared to speed yellow on my last gt3.
Got also to see the black headlights. I'm going to take a second look but they seemed to be a 'wash' to me. Not sure I really liked one better than the other, though the comparo was on black cars.
Dumping extended leather.

I think the yellow calipers will look great with black.
I ordered sapphire blue with black wheels & lights. Speced it out a 1 1/2 months ago, but like everyone else production was delayed. I was told last week that the changable cutoff date was the end of Nov. So I was still deciding if I really wanted blue or maybe red or white. I checked with my dealer yesterday....my car is locked, changed to status 210. So, no more agonizing.. my decision is made!
If your in a similar situation...Better decide soon!

Argh, selecting color is painful. Deciding between yellow, white, red, and black. Black probably won't happen as I want to see the car's lines and black hides them. Red probably won't happen as I like some contrast with my tail lights and red obscures them. So down to yellow and white. I love white but all my other cars are white currently... and as CAlexio pointed out, red with yellow might be weird (for the red calipers an red tail lights). I don't like white tail lights. And I was leaning towards steel brakes. Yes, maybe painting the calipers is the only way to go.. ugh.

Zero911.. The dark blue may be a consideration.. Not a bright bold color, but very beautiful and looks great with red details. I won't suggest brown as I want mine to be the only one in the US ;-D
