Jimmy, all the blacks, including the stealth, look fabulous as long as they’re clean & shiny. Your car must look very sinister in person; not a bad
compromise!

... platinum wheels should look fab... I was torn between platinum & standard. Finally decided on standard wheels since I also ordered the silver trim.
When are you expecting yours to arrive? Mine sometime from end of March to early April... we’ll see. Was also told by my SA that all the tourings
coming to the NE will be held in port for “further EPA testing” (doesn’t make any sense since it’s the same model without a wing)... go figure.
Looking forward to seeing some pics of yours.

I'm partial to Basalt Black. I was able to get it on my 2015 GT3 even though it was discontinued after the 2014 run because Porsche canceled my 2014 car due to the engine fires. So they made me one of one 2015's in Basalt. The reason I like Basalt is because it's metallic flake is more forgiving of dust and light dirt than regular black, which is more like mirror and really shows it. And I like Basalt better than Jet Black because sometimes in direct sunlight, the metallic in the Jet Black takes on a bluish hue, and makes the car actually look more like Midnight Blue. Here is my Basalt car, by the way. I've been thinking about selling it out of my collection, in anticipation of my A1 Black 991.2 GT3's arrival this summer. My Basalt car only has 650 miles on it. Letting it go will/would be hard, and I'm now thinking about just keeping both... JUST.. .NEED... MORE... SPACE !!!

Mine doesn't arrive until August, so I've got a long time to wait. My car will look just like this one.

It’s CARB approval. We have a thread for the prisoners here on Rennlist.

Never been a fan of Platinum Satin wheels, that is until I saw this beauty the other day... They work perfectly with black.
