A site had a candid shot of one with Georgia plates...on the street!?

Agate Gray. Also a stunner.

Awesome. Very much within expectations, with the added surprise of underbody aero in the engine area. No more exposed crankcase and headers that dent when bottoming-out

Think this is what you are referring to.. stunning!

Wow, looks amazing with almost matching color for wheels

I wonder if that is the closest color to wheel color without doing some expensive paint to sample

Sorry, can't agree. Agate is a beautiful color... for a luxury sedan. Not so much for a GT3. White, red, yellow, or maybe a cool PTS. Just my opinion, of course.

OK, I'm making a change too. Sent email to salesperson. Changing color from black to white. Changing headlights from black PDLS to LEDs, which on the configurator look grey-ish or platinum-ish. To match, deleted wheels painted black and kept default platinum. Wanted to delete headlight washers painted body color (to minimize the increase in price incurred by LED) but those chrome washers on the pictures above are the only thing that I don't care for.
While I still love the black, the car has many black accents, grills, mesh, vents, etc that show best with a contrasting color. I hope it ends up being a choice I like in person.

My wife and I saw a couple 991s Agate at my dealership last friday and we both had the same opinion.... this is not what you want on a GT3. I will try to do a Speed Yellow or Gulf Orange PTS. My first choice would be RS Orange but apparently PAG don't do this color anymore

regardless of color, that car looks remarkable.
For me:
White
Bk Full Leather
red stitch
red belts
LEDs
paint to match HL washer nipples (@ $142k what's another $295, and I hate chrome anything.)

I think you've made a great choice, Sam. IMHO, white will show the nice details and lines of the car better than black. Plus, speaking from experience, you have automatically regained several hundred hours of your life that can now be spent doing almost anything besides caring for a black car.

I don't think you'll regret the white and platinum combo. That's what I have on my 991S and it looks great. In addition, the platinum wheels don't show brake dust. If there is a problem with your color choice, it will probably be the most popular one. If you live in an area with a number of other GT3's, you may see some twins.

Either Speed Yellow or Gulf Orange would be a great choice. I like the non-metallics for the GT3.

SY is so much nicer than Racing Yellow (too much white & bright) IMHO.

I have gone white with standard wheels & LED lights and very happy with this combo (have lots of "real life" pictures now on the net to get a feel for how it will look under most lighting scenarios....).

And since you have come to a final decision, not more hours fussing over the configurator!

Thanks, Mike. You are absolutely right, as I am tired of cleaning black cars. Most of the cars I bought in my lifetime have been black. And every single time after the purchase, I swear to never buy a black car again. Even in the garage, they get dirty. Then I look at them in showrooms and as a drug addict, I succumb to temptation. This time, I 100% agree with you about showing the car, just like the GR will

Thanks, happy to hear it from someone with that combo.

SamFromTX

Funny you say that but I was just checking the configurator, "one last time"...

SamFromTX

Totally agree with you. At least we are not likely to be confused as twins at the local track! I guess that is the reason they chose white for their launch car.
