Congrats Mike on getting that 1st slot. I'm either 2 or 3 on my dealers list(guy in front might drop off), Only option I don't see on the configurator yet is the Axel lift, I'm sure it'll show up before it's my turn. My 2010 GT3 didn't have the Axel lift and I was always scraping the front lip. The long wait begins...

Dave. Good move with the LED PDLS headlight cluster. This is a new tech launched for the first time on the GT3 but likely to become standard fair on the 991.2 and GT3RS so its a future proofing of the asthetic and although expensive worth the the investment IMHO.
Have you considered dropping the leather seat backs, having a holiday in Hawaii for the saving and spending $200 per seat having your local vinyl wrap guy do a white vinyl wrap on the rear of the seats to colour key it to the external of the car? Thats what Im doing and I think its much more in keeping with the sports nature and optic of the car....

I vote Guards.
Always looks fantastic and is such a classic Porsche color.
Alternately Paint to Sample is always an option ... Riviera or Mexico Blue ... Signal Yellow ... Signal Orange ...
Good luck & enjoy!

Hi Mike. Your car sounds great. I know you have been waiting for this one. Can you tell me why the front axle lift is such an expensive option, and your reasons for choosing it? I have a steep driveway approach angle, and I am wondering with a 'lift' of one 1 inch or so, will it be enough??

Whatever you spec is going to be awesome. If it were me, I'd go for something kind of unique. I really like the dark blue metallic, wheels painted silver and the clear taillights (only $610). All the other stuff is up to you. Interior with deviated stitching would look nice, but I see some of these 997s coming off lease and the dev. stitch really looks tired after a couple years. If you're planning on keeping the car long-term, I'd skip it. I think saving cash is a good rule-of-thumb with this car, it's already plenty badass out of the box.

Fwiw ....seems signalyellow is no longer available...
Last done on a 997.2 GT3RS. With black contrast...most choice..... But apparently.....no longer passing color fade test.....

No, unfortunately not from the listed options, but I am sure the Exclusive department can sort you out. I would prefer full leather too since the alcantara does not handle wear well.

Aqua blue is a beautiful color. I had a 997.2 C2S in that color. I was thinking of Aqua for my GT3 as well. However, it's been discontinued as a standard color and replaced with Sapphire Blue Metallic. Won't order that until I see it. And I certainly won't pay PTS money for Aqua!
Agate gray is my second choice - very classy color. Also won't show rubber streaks as bad.

I was able to spec my car at the dealer today, using their newly updated configurator. The front axle lift was available to specify, although with the caveat that it is not available until October. Since the dealer's car delivery estimates are not until November/December at the earliest, that shouldn't be a problem.
