Finally, somebody showing off their blackness. The proper color for a GT3.

Getting tired of all these white cars. White is just the canvas / primer for vinyl wrap liveries to be thrown on cup cars. I am ducking right now as the Carrara White guys get off their deviated stitch ASSes (easy, of course I mean ajdustable sport seats) and throw something at me.

As always, mine are black and headed to the track.

It's the best second job you'll ever have, massaging the swirls off of her frunk.

Now, if you ask me about a Boxster Spyder, I have to say that is quite snazzy in white with black leather. A 356 Speedster is a dream in creme. However, once you have a GT3 in black, you never go back.

Gorgeous, my fav color, gauges tare excellent too, looks the business.
Little Segway, the varieties of background in these dealership in all the new car thread pictures is wild. From pristine, to bustling. Not stereotyping, but enjoying.

You did eh? Are you the first? It's first on my list at the moment as well actually.. Saw a jet black boxster s with black headlights at dealer and fell in love with it. Have you seen another p-car with this color in real life?

Fantastic looking car. I had black on my C4S that I just traded in thought it looked great. I ended up getting opticoat which helped a lot. Have fun with it.

Probably not the first as I pushed build back to get the bucket seats. Enters body shop 10/31, dealer inventory 12/26. Have not seen the color in person, just liked it in black and thought that metallic might be a bit easier for upkeep. I ordered the LEDs, hoping to have a local shop use the Porsche diagnostic tool to enable ROW features.

All I can say, is that while regular black looked "flat" and the plastic features became invisible.. The jet black car almost had a blue hue to it.. Like a black stallion which shines might look blueish in the sunlight... And all the little black plastic parts contrasted really nicely. You'll love it

Thanks for all of the kind comments. A few clarifying points:
1. Yes, a 2014. Undoubtedly one of the last to arrive. Was supposed to be here in Feb, then May and most recently sched to come late Nov (!) and just arrived at the dealer last week without any heads up or change in status (maybe some good news for the few of you who are also still waiting).
2. I debated extensively and went back and forth on walking away, selling the car to 3rd party, selling back to dealer, etc. and replacing with a 2015 slot (which i could have secured). In the end the timing and the magnitude of comp kept me in. Others will have diff views but i think its a steal with the comp + extra warranty.
3. Yes black upkeep is brutal but i live in the city and while i am OCD about many things, keeping my car immaculate is not one of them. I had a black loaner and washed it maybe once a month tops. honestly its so fun to just get in and drive i don't feel like it needs a detail to be enjoyed.
4. Jet black looks great in person and would have been my choice on a 2015.

Beautiful car, and I love black I just can't take the work I'm OCD. I cleaning my black cars daily on the garage, and waxed weekly. I will say they looked beautiful, and now I'm on the east coast the weather is not car friendly. CA is the perfect car city SOCAL that is(:

If you go on the opticoat website they have a dealer listing:
