Congrats on the car and welocme to RL....as you can see it can be a brutal crowd but that's part of the enjoyment.....

In one aspect it doesn't matter what you paid as it's really no ones business.....on the other hand disclosing that info is really beneficial for members looking for a car and seeing what the true market is for them.....

Not adding the free Smoking Pkg specifically to get that extra 12-v socket?

Nice build.

I would possibly reconsider the Transmission tunnel in leather and maybe go with the cheaper headlights because you wheels will be Satin Aluminum so I like the lighter headlights.

Hey ReadyEddie... tell us about the spec!!! What are you getting??
It's funny how you are keep focusing on how much I paid or what kind of deal I got when you clearly missed the point of the thread. I know I know. I need to stop fueling trolls. I can already tell it's beginning of a beautiful friendship.

I did add free smoking package (OF COURSE I DID~) and from the pictures I've seen from Rennlist, I love how Carrera White Metallic gives off that blue hue in certain light setting.

Yeah I saw the black hole on the config but I see it now.... in that long list that's why!

Carrara is one my favorite light-white colors... under sunlight or bright light it certainly sparkles.

How about the standard non-black LED w/ PDLS option instead so that it matches your theme? Unless of course you purposely chose the black one to show the stark contrast?

I've watched the video of Matt Moreman's Sapphire Blue GT3 when he swapped out his regular PDLS for Black PDLS and I honestly thought it looks better since it's less "chromy". I have yet to see the difference in person since dealership I've visited didn't have many black PDLS on white 911's. What are your thoughts?

I understand the logic but I don't think it actually carries over to reality. I've honestly not seen a picture of a car with the silver lights that I didn't think would look better with the black ones.

If I have a suggestion, it would be to go with the Platinum wheels instead of Aluminum on the white car. It looks like a great spec though! I've got nothing to nitpick!

Sorry man. I meant my last post to be friendly and to dismiss the talk about the money to talk about the build. Not a troll.

But THEM White 911R'S SATIN ALUMINUM WHEELS THO!~ lol. It's a shame that I can never get to see what I want in person at the dealership so I just went with my guts. Thank you for your input! I still have a lot of time to adjust so I'll def keep that in mind!

It's all a matter of personal preference... can't go wrong with either IMO but I suggested the non-black LED since your theme is on the lighter/brighter/white'r side of things so the standard LED's would complement instead of contrast. No biggie really, just one vs. another.

Many of the white (or chalk) GT3.2 cars I have personally seen went with black LED's.... but as you can see their theme was to contrast. Plus they all had darker wheels.

Some examples of the GT3's I have seen and took pics of:










Personally, I stayed with the standard color (non-black) LED w/ PDLS on my GBM since I wanted it to complement the silver wheels.... I could have gone with black but then I likely would have to spec satin black wheels as well. It's all subjective and to me they look good either way anyway.

I’d personally would only go with black lights if you pick satin black wheels. Congrats on getting one. I too had a journey of finding one. I’m so happy to have my 2018 GT3 sitting beside my 3.6 987 cayman s.
