This is a 911R with LED Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System and Satin Alumnium Wheels...

Why you do this Porsche?
Just remember, if you don't do similar stripes, all you'll have is a big sea of white and two black rings, aka, a Panda. With the stripes on the 911R it doesn't stand out like it does on a plain white car.

Eddie- my car is like yours but with black wheels. I actually like light or titanium wheels better than black but got talked into the black ones (they do look ok with all the black trim tho). The black led’s are very worth it. Once you get it, it won’t matter how much you paid or how you got it- it will be worth it!

Not gonna lie, I wish you've taken more pictures of your GT3! It looks pristine! Thank you for your suggestion!

A trimmed matte black piece of vinyl/wrap covers the stickers nicely. no mess.

You know, sometimes, I wish Porsche didn't bombard us with myriads of choices... Everything looks good and everything feels right (except for some few exceptions).
Look at what I saw yesterday-- White, non-blk led-pdls, standard alum silver wheels...... beautiful!

Here's what I observed:

1. You sure know how to take good pictures.
2. That Side Marker has to be replaced with LED ASAP!
3. I don't know what will happen, but white looks amazing on GT3!

TBH, regular aluminium wheels look good too. I really couldn't tell the difference. Thank you so much for your willingness to guide me through this!~

ReadyEddie- love the avatar, and the build! The only thing I would consider is colored seatbelts, maybe? You are going to have a great time w that thing, and it's going to feel special... when you finally get it! The wait is horrible
Congrats on getting your allocation!!!!

I sense another C&H fan?!?!?! Thank you for such kind words. Calvin is my childhood hero. I considered seatbelts, but I started thinking to myself... when does it end? I'm very happy to hear from fellow members who are waiting on their GT's. Please share lots of pictures once it gets delivered~
