I've ordered white, but looking at the pics, may switch to this dark blue. Decisions, decisions, ...

Yes it is but don't be fooled. Those pictures REALLY flatter dark blue metallic. I have seen quite a few DBM cars in the flesh and they have never looked as good as that. Seems to me those pics are enhanced in some way.

^ +1 They're taking by a very good photographer, in near perfect conditions.

white makes it look like a toy race car... but it is true that the dark colors (I think agate especially) show the curves better, make it more beefy...

sticking with white... and my black wheels and PCCB... figure if that is the configuration they chose for the official toy car, I am in pretty good shape...

You betcha! We definitely aren't in the colorful '70s anymore. I'm 0 for 2 for PTS on the GT3. Asked for Tangerine in June 2013 and got nixed. This time around I asked for Lichtgrun and told no PTS for you.

Agreed. I really wanted Mexico Blue or Gulf Orange. But really, the standard color options are just so boring. And 3k for GT Silver? I don't want GT Silver, but why would someone pay 3k for that? Then don't even get me started on offering 2 (TWO!) different browns. Who the hell orders a brown GT3.

I have white but I think GR is the color to go with. My 997.2 Turbo was GR and I loved the color. Easy to keep clean and even when a little dirty still looks good. My Wife(never listen to them) thought I should switch it up. But - do not get me wrong; I love the GT3 in White also and I always wanted the "traditional" white color for the GT3 but if I had to do it all over again-GR.

I ordered mine Riviera Blue October production. If I were you I'd go for the Blue Saphire. Beautiful and not too dark.

I have white as well. The one thing white does better than any other color is hide swirl marks and scratches. Where I live that is critical due to all the dirt and gravel on the roads. While it is not my favorite color, it is the color that holds up better than any other in my experience.

^Do not get me wrong; white looks very good. Just miss that "pop" in your face GR. If I had the nerve the RY pops pretty good

OP - you should order Brown as I don't think anyone has...Brown with PCCB/yellow belts and go for the Brown Hornet look!

NOPTS4U = good personalized license plate.
