Default finally got the allocation

After killing my dealership for the last six months they finally got me a December bill. I was wondering what you guys think about a daily driven car. If my two options are white and red what would you guys pick. I right now own a white cab with clear taillights. I absolutely love that look and black shiny rims. I was wondering if red would attract more attention sometimes I don't want to much attention when I drive like a maniac. But when I'm out with the boys going through the twisties red looks beautiful. I also think the clear taillights look amazing but I don't know about them on the Guards red car. Not interested in the ceramic brakes so my brakes will be red as well. Or should I go simple and go white with clear everything. Lol do you think cops would be more prejudiced against a red vehicle?

If your neighbors are like mine you had better go with the red or they will not even know that you bought a new car. I used to have an atric silver 911S and a freind of mine parked his silver Cayman in front of my house one night. The next day 2 of my neighbors said that they couldn't believe that I left my car out in the cul de sac over night! Go figure.

Is guards read hard to maintain. I'm not very **** with keeping my car clean every single day I get a car wash every other week I don't care to do it my self. I go to the local hand carwash in town.

I have had so far a Basalt Metallic black Porsche, GR and now White- Red is the easiest in my opinion to maintain. Plus - it just pops when you see it

Finally saw guards on a 991GT3 recently in person. I was debating same white/red. Go red. Looks phenomenal...and less common than white. I agree, skip the clear tails

No easy. I had a guards red porsche and used to wash it just once a month even though I drove it 2000 kms /month. I don't mind keeping the red car dirty, it drives just as well, looks almost as good and attracts slightly less attention than a shiny sparkling red one.

I think white Porches look great (own 2), but went Red on my GT3 as I wanted to do something different from the other two. I went with PCCB, which was the only hesitation I had doing GR over white.

Carrara White also looks great and very close to white - I'm normally not a fan of metallics on sports car, but it's very subtle its worth considering.
