I'm liking this colour as well. Like the Agate Grey as well.

Yes, it can...when they open the PTS window for the 991 gt3. And nobody yet knows when that will happen! 'Signal Green' would have to be a PTS customer request that would need for you to provide a color sample, undergo fade testing, etc. It might not be approved in time for your gt3 order. It is a vintage early 911 color which is absolutely stunning...and has a 'yellow' tint (see first photo of my old PTS 'Signal Green' '07 997S), as opposed to the 'bluer' one you see on the old 'Viper Green' or the modern 'RS Green' (second photo).

However, 'RS Green' is available via PTS on the regular 991. So PAG has already pre-approved this paint color for the materials (steel, plastic, etc) that will also be incorporated into the 991 gt3! So there is a good chance you might be able to order it via PTS on the gt3 too! It's name has been now condensed to simple 'Green' (pardon the pun) and it's color code is '2D8'. Currently PTS on a Porsche is US$5,500.

Eduardo

for a non RS a subtle color would be best. Something that can be daily driver without too much atttention.

The stealth issue is a concern but I'm still leaning pretty hard towards Guards Red. IMO, the other option choices are usually pretty straightforward; color is always the tough one for me.

I agree on the red and also find the color the hardest to decide on. If I get one, I will likely get gray though so it won't stand out so much.
