I can't believe I'm doing this now. Considering a change to white or perhaps middle ground...Rhodium Silver Metallic...
I have till 10/7 to change my mind...

That color chart doesn't depict the silvers (or most of the colors for that matter) very well. Rhodium is actually the lighter and brighter of the two with a slight bluish cast while GT is richer, darker, and more toward gray.

As Mike said, lots of blue can be seen in Rhodium in sunlight. I know those pics were in another thread but was it confirmed to be Rhodium? Looks like GT Silver to my eyes. GT Silver is darker with grey/brown traces.

The color changing before your build lock can drive you crazy .

Christian, do you work at New Country or is the name there just a coincidence?

Stay with Agate and with the original build. It's sick! Plus best for hiding dirt and rubber marks.

Agate grey really is fantastic. I saw it on a 991 at the factory in 2012 really fantastic even without the widebody of the gt3

That was my thought too..I still may add the extended leather for the dash...awfully expensive, but hey...I'm going to have this car a long time especially is they start turbo charging and or adding hybrid tech to it.
Rhodium here:

If 10/7 is your planned or estimated Lock Date, keep in mind that it's not set in stone. My planned lock was 9/26 and when I checked yesterday they moved my dates up a week and locked it on 9/19. Not to increase the pressure on your decision.

I have a biz trip on Mon-Tues. I plan to call the dealer weds with any final changes. I think I'm sticking with agate and getting the extended leather for the dash board. Still I ponder...White, Rhodium or agate.
