Red stitching- the route to go. Went white exterior; loved the stitching so much kept the standard brakes, extended dash board w/stitching, and of course, the steering wheel column. Stupid me though, went with the extended door package; which, whom the heck knows what that is?

What did extended door package do? Is it extra alcantara on bottom?

Hey Alex, the green highlighted bits in the pic below are done in leather. Most of it is hidden anyway with the door closed. Not worth the $$, IMHO....

I did very much the same - but instead of the extended door package, I did the instrument surround - literally a useless option. I cannot see any difference. With the other options, you get all of the extra red stitching. Instrument surround - nada.

Basalt black is what I got. I think it looks stunning on the GT3. But I, like everyone debated hard the color. Mexico blue is my favorite but I'm not sure I can live with it very long. So I went the conservative way

I got white but red would be my second choice. For reasons I can't explain, red is much better looking on a GT3 than on any other Porsche. Black hides the lines and is pain to keep clean. Silver or a variation of is too common (it is estimated that about 35% of all Porsche's on the road today are silver).

I got mine White GT3 with silver painted wheels. One thing is I love the look of it....bad thing=brake dust might show easier.
But I usually clean or go over my car every other time I drive it.
