Wasn’t given a specific price, only told it is modestly higher due to having to send them for custom paint. Note this will be CXX and so still isn’t selectable in the configurator.

I’m honestly not interested. Wish they would have just deleted nozzles altogether as has already happened on lesser 911 models. But was told that deletion of headlight washer nozzles “not happening at this time on the GT models”.

^ dont laugh, but when i had PTS on my 991.1RS, once the pTS color was approved, exclusive told me i can still change oiption as long as it doesn't involve the PTS color.

ex: i can add blk threads. but my request for painted key was denied. they said and i quote "we purchased very specific amount of paint for your car so painting the key now is not possible"...

the comment cost me $3000 as i spewed coffee allover my lap top from my nostrils and mouth while laughing uncontrollably in the office.

BUT now it seems that they have more paint to deal with sill, and other ext. parts?

i hate the nipples but if they cant pts color it, it's better than satin black...

This paint amount issue is same reason I was given Saying one couldn’t do interior in pts color. Defies belief but I guess they even buy paint down the exact milliliter.

I did the lower arm of the outside mirror, side skirt, and washer nozzles in PTS exterior color as CXX. I don't care for the satin black look.

What’s with the “top secret “ colors ? I’m thinking it’s too late in the game to “copy” a color, YOU have already “copied” from someone else.

Maybe I missed it but for all v215 status what was your original allocation date? I’m v180 but my allocation before pts was February. Just trying to a get a handle on all this.

What is wrong with a little mystery?

The surprise makes the reveal that much more fun.

Post this in my build thread...


Guys, I spoke to my SA today and he confirmed that PTS painted nips and lower rear view mirrors are a NO GO. Painted vent slats are doable and will let me know what the damage is soon.

Seems like approvals for PTS are starting to roll in, I really think that all or most all of the PTS requests will be approved for the US folks. I got my allocation in the 2nd round in Aug for a Jan 2018 build and after going to V215 it still remains a Jan 2018 with delivery to the dealer in Feb 2018. I do have a funny feeling that they'll push back the delivery date due to PTS delays until late Spring/early Summer...but hey if not great.
