Thanks for posting pics guys. I have to agree with Macca about the decals on the Monte Carlo car!

My 997.2 C4S is basalt black and I love it but will no longer be parking my car indoors so I opted for GT silver this time. Saw rhodium silver in an underground garage and noticed a lot of blue undertones so I grudgingly paid the upcharge for GT. Hope it was the right call!

^^GT silver is gorgeous. Cost aside, no way you can go wrong with it.

We are really not seeing any of the up charge or unique colors like amaranth or brown or that cream color. I wonder how many of those will be ordered.

Still want to see black with black headlights

I don't think you can go wrong with GT silver, that's what I am ordering as well - too much blue in rhodium in my opinion

I wanted the SB, then I didn't want it, then I saw the red and wanted that, now I see the SB again and I want that!

Just get me one, I don't care what color! But the SB is looking really nice.

Stop torturing yourself and settle on one color and stop looking at these pictures (I know it's hard to do). SB looks fantastic.

Cheers

The only thing that stops the color disease is having your order locked. Well actually you've still got it, but you can no longer do anything about it. The real cure is when you get your car, it looks fantastic to you, and you wonder why you were so indecisive in the first place!

LOL Mike. Mine was locked on Dec. 9th and I had them call Atlanta and change it one more time on Dec 15th. I don't think they will entertain any new changes though. You should see the sales guys face's when I walk in the dealership. They tell each other, oh oh, he is gonna change again

I really need to go see sapphire in person. Those pics are making me rethink my paint choice...again.
