I'm not a big fan of green but this looks great. I also have to commend Porsche for naming these greens -- Viper, Signal, Pure. Would anyone choose a green labeled "Grass?"

I would love to see grass green. No one could tell me what it looked like.

I figure I should pick it within 1-2 weeks of that date. Looking forward to pictures of yours.
You found it :-) I went many times back and forth on viper vs. pure. Finally had one of the exclusive consultants running across the their showroom in Stuttgart with the two samples in her hand to see the different looks in different light, that was a show! So finally I picked Pure Green in December, with racing yellow stitching, door sill carbon illuminated in yellow, vents in black leather and yellow stitching. But switched to the Touring last minute and worked with Nick on the renderings. Glad your like the lighter green with the yellow Porsche decal I suggested to Nick when he did the first rendering in pure green.

I also considered to go yellow for the interior as well, including the seats of the 991 T with the yellow thin stripes on sportex. After I have seen sportex in person, this was a no go for me. But a friend of my just got his gulf blue GT3 with peptia seats, I was sold in a second! But peptia dark grey and yellow stitching is not to great in my eyes (I was able to see a R with this combo) so I went with GT silver stitching. So here we are, currently April build but not sure with the delays for CXX options if the date will hold.

That green 911 with the yellow script and silver wheels is absolutely awesome. I hope you go for it! There is a RS in the LA area with a similar spec and it also looks fantastic.

There are few other brands that give buyers such a wide array of options to individualize and customize their dream cars. It's always wonderful to see what people come up with.

NS2 did a great job with renderings and visualizing the final product:




As you can see, these colors can be very sensitive to lighting, cameras, and lenses. Have not seen the color in person, but that’s okay as long as it’s green As of yesterday, still on schedule for late June delivery.
A pleasure working with you! Given so many different variations of Porsche's shades of green and lighting conditions, I am looking forward to seeing the real life photos of this build more than anything right now!

What a spec! That color is absolutely incredible. Since the photos of your car have surfaced, we have been getting quite a few inquiries about specs/renderings in Viola Metallic! It is an underappreciated color that your photography skills really bring to the light.

Yeah, I've had Pure Green since November, and CXX the beginning of December. Almost switched it to Arrow/Oslo Blue in December, but since it was my first PTS, I had to do green. Viper has become to common I think, so I wanted to try something new like Pure Green. I always did wonder why NS2's renderings had the European plates... The first one they sent me was without the decals, but I actually requested the decals in that color afterwards. That's crazy you had originally requested (maybe before me) everything I ended up requesting from them, down to the side decal colors! They never disclosed nor said anyone else was doing a similar build. Here is my build code: http://www.porsche-code.com/PJG9L7Z4 with cxx side decals and Houndtooth inserts.
