Had my car in for service today, saw 3 Tourings just hanging about. One was GT Silver, didn't even take a picture since there's nothing new to see...but this ivory with green wheels I thought you guys might want to see. Not sure if this belongs here or the PTS thread. I think the ivory is owned by someone at the dealership.
The Agate Gray is mine, didn't get to see the Ivory one, would have been interesting!
On a side note, they want 50K over for the GT silver

Oh wow, I didn't even ask. They also had an unsold GT3 RS WP, Red + gold wheels for $50K over. And a white GT3 RS WP just sold, and a black/black GT3 RS that was just being prepped.
But that car is yours? Looks like a red lip on the wheels in your avatar?

Good eyes, I covered the red stripes with flat black vinyl since I like it better like that. And I also changed the black side stripes for grey ones.
Looks great. I'm always shocked at how these cars look in person though--it's really hard to capture the presence in pictures. Something like a Lambo is dramatic no matter what, but the 911 shape doesn't jump out at you when captured especially with phone camera optics. I literally would take a picture, lower the phone and be amazed at how much better it looks from the FOV of the actual human eye in person.
And the color is also fantastic in person, much more than a picture. At first it doesn't jump out at you--this coming from someone with an orange car. Having something which doesn't scream for attention but once you start looking at it deeper the curves and lighting is just great. And all the extras from the GT3 really make the car of course compared to the pedestrian 911s.
That ivory one though. Not for me at least. It's strange to see the exact same shape cars next to one another, but one is wearing just the right colors and the other is not.
Thanks and I agree 100%. The Touring looks so much better in person than in photos, I always have to take a second look after I park ;-)

Side stripes going on tomorrow with ghosted yellow stripes and 'Porsche' text to match the wheels.... so glad I went away from the black wheels for the first time in (ever... sort of). Don't need chrome window trim to pull off this look IMO... it probably wouldn't even work with this wheel finish.

I wish I had the nerve to drive around in a 9000 RPM, screaming exhaust note, GT car, that color. Super sexy and just as noticeable out on the road. Enjoy it.
