Default Hi everybody!

I picked up an allocation late last month and have been reading every post to this forum since..

My car fixes on 11/28 and is completed on 12/12, so I have a pretty late build. I'll be AutoX'ing it at least 10x a year with a couple DE events down in the SoCal area. I haven't hit the track yet -- assuming I enjoy it, i'll probably end up out there a little more often than that..

It's a DD, and i'm coming from a White '14 C4S. Saw the GT Silver car at the LA Auto Show last year and knew it was what I wanted, but I couldn't get past the idea that the car may blend into the crowd of silver & white cars that are all over down here..

Made the switch yesterday to Guards Red!

It's gonna be a long wait until my Feb 13th delivery.

Here's my spec:

Guards Red
Leather Interior in Black/Alcantara® with Stitching in Red
Headlight Cleaning System Covers in Deviated Exterior Color - Black
Automatically Dimming Mirrors with Integrated Rain Sensor
Fuel Cap with Aluminum Look Finish
Extended Range Fuel Tank
LED Headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
Front Axle Lift System
Lightweight Bucket Seats
Floor Mats
Seat Belts in Guards Red
Light Design Package
Vehicle Key Painted
Smoking Package
Center Console Trim in Leather
PCM Display Surround in Leather
Instrument Surround in Leather
Air Vents in Leather
Fuse Box Covers in Leather
Inner Door-Sill Guards in Leather
Extended Interior Package, Door Panel in Leather/Alcantara®
Steering Column Casing in Leather
Extended Interior Package, Dashboard Trim in Leather
Leather Interior Package with Decorative Red Stitching
Carbon Fiber Interior Package i.c.w. Leather Interior
Door-Sill Guards in Carbon Fiber, Illuminated
Sound Package Plus
Sport Chrono Package incl. Porsche Track Precision App
HD Radio Receiver
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) incl. Navigation Module

Sure you don't want black headlights on that Guards Red car?

Nope! Not sure at all!

I do like the idea of the LEDs though, seems like a little future proofing.

I was really on the fence about sapphire blue after seeing all of your photos!

Congrats! One advice on options would be to get the 'Painted Headlight Washers' if you haven't so far.

Also, I'm not so sure how it is on the 991's but make sure you get blutooth connection for your phone

Congratulations.

Very, very similar to my build. Mine should have locked yesterday; awaiting confirmation, then I'll post spec.

I'm also coming from several white P cars, so decided to give red a try.

I thought about that but since there is already the chrome reflectors inside of the headlight, I figure the washer wouldn't look out of place there and maybe a red lump might even look more out of place.
