If I'm going to be nitpicky, I don't like the lower lip in the rear bumper of the gt3, the smooth round one on the 997 gt3 was much nicer IMO.
Also, I think the rear lower vents are facing the wrong direction, and again, the 997 ones were perfect. Love the front end.. I'm going to add those old school black paint guards which went on the leading edge of rear wheel hump on turbo models in the 1980's

Tough to justify the cost, but somehow I did

Yeah but didnt it look so much better as a proto type in the dozens of marketing shots when it had the Xenons! Go google and you will see.
The LED lights on the 918 look very odd. It all looks very Logans Run to me. LED is not new tech now and some of these offerings with DRL look very glitzy and off (ricer?).
Each to their own I guess. I do agree to some degree its future proofing but I dont like the cheap chrome finish in the flesh on the 991 GT3 LEDs and I dont' like the way they change the "face " of the car...

Hi,
I stopped by the show today and they had it locked up so I could not get a great look inside. They had the Turbo, GT3 and 50th anniversary parked side by side.
1. Looked better in real life than the pictures, made me want the car more![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
2. The rear flanks were noticeably bigger and better than the 50th anniversary edition
3. Seeing it next to the turbo did not make me want to change cars
4. The nose was longer than I thought it would be and can see how the front lifter could be useful
5. I did not want the silver, but it looked damn nice.
I will load up my pictures later.

For those that saw the car in person at the LA Auto Show, would you go Rhodium or GT Silver ?
I'm still on the fence between White, GT Silver and maybe Rhodium.

I understand where you are coming from. I am an unrepentant 'oldtimer'. To me the best front & headlights on a Porsche were designed inside a refurbished sawmill in the Austrian state of Carinthia in 1948. But it's hard to argue with modern progress in headlight technology. LED are the ultimate...until they develop the next best thing!

Disagree. Maybe the most expensive cars made by a company, i.e. 911 turbo, Mercedes AMG, but I don't think for a minute that a 991 GT3 with the current powerful halogen headlights, would look dated in 5 years. No way am I paying over 3 grand just for LEDs.

Serge944: what did you not like about the silver in person? What color would you pick over that. I can't for the life of me decide between Rhodium and White or LED vs. halogen. I think I'm just going to flip a coin for both.
