Nice!

Black PDLS matches the standard wheels very well.

I'll say it again.....the car looks great in every color I've seen so far. I'd be happy to own any of those.

+1. And toward that end, I must say that each day of waiting is getting increasingly more difficult.

Great to see rhodium vs gt silver again... I just can't see that extra "special" aspect to justify that gt silver price. Maybe if I see one in real life. However.. Black headlights are almost obligatory with the silver IMO.. Normal looks good, but black ones look amazing

Agreed. Bk PDLS looks great on silvers. I am starting to like it on white as well.

I have to agree every picture Ive seen so far of the 991 GT3 looks great whatever the colour. IMO the black PDLS seems to look best on Black, Red and Silver cars. It looks great too on the SB car but its really too hard to tell with a night shot part illuminated by a tungsten street lights. I havent seen a black PDLS on white car in the flesh yet but from the pictures Ive seen I think it could be too much. My personal experince is the lights are most difficult to photograph and you really need to see the car in person to get a good feel for it.

In almost 3 weeks in Urope with my white GT3 I have seen only one ther GT3 and that was a black one today in Monte Carlo outside the famous Hotel Paris. Its the same Geneve registered car that features elsewhere on this board and is covered with matt back decals including the roof which sports a Porsche Shield decal. A bit OTT really IMO.

Interesting thing was that although the black car looked "mean" in the flesh it didnt have quite the impact I had expected from seeing pictures of the flat black elsewhere on this board from a few early deliveries. Probably because in real life its partially covered in water marks and road filth!

Heres a few photos from today...
