Default 2016 GT3RS October Production

My dealer called me finalize my options for October production build for my Canadian car. Wanted to get some assistance to see what you think of my options for my car.

Went with Ultraviolet with black leather combo interior and platinum stitch. I wanted a wilder colour for my GT3 RS, it's would be a weekend car...hence the purple colour. I track my existing 2011 RS in Lava Black 4-5 times a year.

Brother is getting the RS in Lava Orange RS so I wanted a different colour.

Some points:

1.Yellow seat beats to pick up the yellow from the ceramic brake rotors.
2. Clear rear tail lights to go with clear LED front head lights, aluminum colour wheels and aluminum coloured rear upright.
3. White dials to add a little colour to interior of mostly black and carbon interior.

Awesome! Congrats. Love the ultra violet but couldn't do it myself haha! Can't wait. The clear lights will be very cool on that build. Did you go with the LWB or folding buckets? I went LWB as per a lot of suggestions on the forum.

Congrats. Things I would do differently and will if I get an allocation.

Silver wheels and silver uprights.
Change yellow belts to silver.

I have seen this configuration in person and it was stunning. There is something about the way that silver works with purple. I think because it's a dark color. Vs. lava orange as a bright color looks better with black wheels.

Yellow seatbelt too much with everything else going on. Love the idea of matching the calipers but in this case would be too much I think. White gauges perfect if you lose the yellow seatbelts.

Congrats, I love UV with silver wheels and uprights. But I would order two sets of silver seat belts with your car. IMO they go better with the silver door pull and wheels/uprights. But, just like the yellow they get dirty when you track with open windows. So good to have fresh ones as backup. Not a fan of clear tail lights but to each and there own. Enjoy in good health.

Congrats to you and your brother. Only change, would be to lose the yellow belts in favour of the silver to match the door pulls. Other than that, a solid build.

Thank you all for your advice...silver seat belts and I believe I will go for the standard red tails lights.

It will be a nice addition to my Speciale I picked up a few weeks ago.

Nice car(s)! You might want to drop the light design package and fire extinguisher. Lots of opinions on these, however.
