I'm 95% confident headlight washers painted body color is standard on Touring w/ Black Trim for PTS cars....I'm actually confused why yours aren't painted body color.
PTS Tourings had black washer nozzles and a black Sirius XM wart. For whatever reason, non-PTS Tourings had these painted to match the body color. PTS - despite the $13,000 price tag - nope. I know because I had both painted to match my light ivory PTS Touring. I also had the black lower arm of the side view mirrors painted to match.
@Borderdog when you get a chance, please confirm if sold or kept so I can update the list. Thank you.
Yes, the car was taken off the market in time. I was pretty reluctant to sell it in the first place but I either have to sell a car or buy a car lift. I never thought I’d fill 8 garage/storage spaces. I have two cars coming in and only one slot left. That’s a problem for future me though. I think the next car comes in the summer and the s/t mid fall or so.

In my market offerings research, I've seen standard colors with the touring package in black have the washers nozzles in black, and silver touring package trim with chrome nozzles. Not sure if the PTS equates to black nozzles but yes on the XM antenna painted vs not. My car is PTS with the touring package in black so the black XM wart does not bother me.
Nearly all PTS 991.2 NA touring cars had XM wart in black for some reason. A few people with late builds were able to get them painted to match from factory via CXX but almost all came black from factory which was a strange deviation from standard PTS practice for other porsche models which was to have the wart color coded to match PTS as NO extra cost. On the touring i speced to order it bothered me and I had my wart painted to match when I PPFed the car (that car was a silver/chrome trim car). I traded my touring for a different one and decided to leave the wart black this car is a black trim touring car so it doesn't bother me.
Regarding the washer nozzles. These are either black or chrome as standard and match the touring trim package selected. There WAS a 300 dollar clickable "PEM" configurator option to match these nozzles to the exterior paint or to option in a deviated color to exterior. I can not recall if you could option this painted to match the car as a configurator clickable option with PTS or if had to be CXX if you had PTS. Most PEM options for the 991.2 touring WRT to PTS paint were just standard clickable options and did NOT incur/require an additional CXX charge on top of he configurator chage unlike how things are now (eg painted AC vents key side blades etc etc)
@GT325 Thank you for brining this knowledge. Makes perfect sense. I spec'd my 992 Touring but the 991.2 I am still trying to figure out its build. Thanks again!

PCNA offered to paint the antennae cover at no charge after many cars were delivered. Not an issue in Europe bc there is no contract with SiriusXM and thus, no wart. I remember meeting an owner who proudly kept his cover black because he ordered PTS Fashion Gray and it could only be differentiated from standard paint Chalk because of the non-color matched cover…
Hi All, the Racing Yellow Touring with no stories, no damage, no drama and 1,100 miles is still avail. Asking is $275k obo. My buddy is looking to move it in the next week or so. DM me your contact and I will provide it to seller. I offered to help as he is not on RL but this is exhausting.
Thanks,

tbh he won't get a quick easy sale @ current asking, bat or consignment is the way to go if he wants top $$$
Yeah sadly yellow seems to be more of a negative premium on most GT cars than a positive, especially on a touring that's supposed to be less flashy.
my buddy has a RY but with silver pkg & wheel which imo is the right way to go, it's very attractive to say the least. good news is porsche is axing off ry so it will got a bit of that "since I can't have it I want it more" boost now
