Looks great but I would keep the black aluminum default trim in the touring! It’s really special IMO. I would have done it via CXX on my 3 but it was over $4k.

Yellow stitching and yellow belts would be my choice.

HEY!! You copied my build!! 😂😂😱
JK! Nice choices!
here’s what I did:

GT3t BLACK
PDLS (xenons)
Olive Green
PCCBS
Satin AL wheels
LWB’s
standard back stitching w extended dash leather
CXX silver and agate houndstooth (inserts only)
CXX inspired side decals (aftermarket)
CXX Center locks

April production

Look up my posts. I’ve helped (or shared my opinion to those who asked for them) plenty about PTS and CXX options. Including at great lengths for some who have messaged me or even called me privately offline. I’m happy to help where I can. Again, I don’t think choosing not to share my own PTS color choice in any way represents not helping others on this forum.

Don’t do the CXX paint seatbelt pass throughs on seats, especially in bright color like yellow. Garish and plasticky looking IMO. Only painted pass throughs I’ve seen and liked were GT silver in combination with some other silver accents in car, which is reasonable.

Yellow stitching can can be really beautiful against black leather. Almost did it myself but my build locked before it became available to order on Touring...

Love your color and build otherwise. One suggestion: with dark color and silver wheels (great!) the headlights will loom better bright/silver, so do either standard (non PDLS) xenon or standard (not black) LED headlights. I’ve never understood cars with silver wheels and black headlights. Now if you were doing black wheels and Touring with black trim, then sure, dark headlights would round out that look. Or, if you were doing a very light exterior color like white or cream, then dark headlights (and wheels) would add nice contrast to that.

In terms of standard xenon vs standard LED, which are both light silver in color, my vote is xenon since it looks better cosmetically (single larger eyeball and tight 4-point square of LED running lights inside) and they’re $2200 cheaper. But if you would actually get benefit from the brighter LEDs with their included PDLS swiveling feature that the standard Xenons lack (if you do a lot of night driving), then maybe do that.

For myself, while I appreciate the PDLS feature set, technically, in reality, I am unlikely to do much if any night driving in this car, and even then, the regular xenon’s are plenty bright.

Last clarification: I’m not concerned about another PTS Mexico Blue GT3 Touring pulling up next to me, of course. Even if there are others, they’re extremely unlikely to be nearby me. But given the enthusiast market for these cars and forums like this, Instagram and Google, etc., it will be known globally whether a particular PTS color GT3 Touring is one of one or one of many. I’d prefer to be one of one.

There was was one of one PTS Mexico Blue 911R made, I think. at least in all my searching I’ve only found reference or pics of just the same single one. That makes it special. There were 991 911R’s made. It occurs to me there may end up being fewer GT3 Touring cars actually delivered, especially if it’s true that the 991.2 GT3 will be MY2018 only worldwide and the limited ordering window for them since the Touring Package came out last September. GT3 Touring PTS cars may end up being rarer than 911R PTS cars.

Of course. It’s called Smokies GT.

Yeah, but your car is unlikely to make it by that event this year. And mine definitely won’t. I was thinking of something later this year. So obviously, the Smokies event this year is irrelevant to us. Only 2019...

of course. But I meant that we meet there annually. Most of us with PTS 991.2 GT3’s (especially Touring Pkg cars, which are mostly too late) won’t receive them in time for this spring’s event, but surely we’ll bring them next time around.

Lookinh forward to seeing Sean Groer’s Gelbgrün, though. It’s due just in time.
