My first choice was white. But I kept coming back to Red on Black wheels. Switched to red.

Nicely done.

Sports cars should be jellybean colors IMO.

I really want red, but guards is so tired, washed out and faded. Not suitable for the crisp, modern lines of the 991.

I don't know about that, I struggled between the two. I love the guards red and still contemplate changing my order from white. I just love the ease of white cars. My 91 C4 still looks amazing.

This may sound silly, but for me...it depends on if you're getting PCCB or not.

White looks good with red or yellow calipers, but I just hate when the calipers are color matched on a red car! If not ordering PCCB, get white.

Me too. Gotta do red stitching and seat belts! I advise against the red gauges. I saw a 991 configured that way and it looked "reflective" in sun light. The chromo was hardly visible to read.

Yeah one of the good things about this forum is you weed out the things you shouldn't do. I read somewhere else not to do the red gauges. Plus enough red already.

I am not ordering PCB's but if the red on the caliper does not match the car I won't lose any sleep.

My GT3RS had full leather with red stitching and a bunch of Alcantra and it looked great.

I dare to be different but not just to be different. I bought a yellow Z06 10 years ago and hated the yellow after a week.

I feel lucky to get an allocation. I didn't think I was going to. Should have it in April or March.
