9114600040 had the exterior paint "refreshed" before I purchased it circa 1982. To me "repainted" might include a hue change, etc.. My car's interior, under hood color, engine compartment, etc., exactly matched the exterior color. QED, it was a faithful "refresh" as to original color.
As to other IROC RS's, IDK.

Been a lurker on here as I try to figure out if I am going to buy one of these cars. That said, the Porsche Exchange in Highland Park called me and offered an Arena Red car for ~156k. I don't know the options nor looked at it as I am not interested in the color but thought someone here might be.
"Thank you Kevin. The MSRP, with Guzzler & Destination is $155,025, so at approx. $156K The Porsche Exchange would not be asking for much of a mark-up!

2) Porsche of Omaha - (Available as of Sat. March 21st! Sold to Rennlister who then backed out due to lack of LWB)

I am surprised it didn't sell & it might still be available. Thanks again for the heads up!"
***********
As far as updating our records, we have known that 'The Porsche Exchange' was getting this allocation as far back as 3/20/2015 and we posted here on 3/22/2015. What is news is that this 'Arena Red Metallic' gt3 was not sold and now they are asking $30K over sticker!

Thank you for giving the Porsche Exchange an opportunity to earn your business. ..... The Porsche Exchange is the exclusive Premier Porsche Dealership in the Chicago region and the largest in the Midwest! I received your inquiry on a Porsche 911 GT3. Did you have any questions about the GT3? I do have an available Arena Red GT3 that just arrived yesterday! Did you have some time to stop in and check it out soon?
We are looking for $30K over MSRP for this GT3 so I’m not sure if that eliminates this GT3 from consideration.

Easy to clarify the issue...
Sorry, I must be confused. The Salesman said that it just arrived yesterday.

The ARM gt3s were actually built sometime in March or April. The ARM gt3s started arriving recently at the dealerships that were awarded by PAG/PCNA the special allocations. So it's not surprising this car arrived in the Chicago yesterday. It was probably on the same boat as hlee1169's ARM gt3. That one also recently arrived at Porsche of Omaha.
Thanks for the follow up on the $30K over MSRP which Porsche Exchange is asking.

This was reported on Daniel's thread on 'Modegrau'. Not good for our friend 'Anonymous918' and we are sorry to hear this negative news about his very special 'Modegrau' gt3.

my Fashion Grey finally made it's way and arrived last week. sadly the car made it in a really bad shape -- it was sitting outside of Porsche Exclusive workshop for 3 months after it was completed and got abused by elements (rain, snow, sun, etc.) ... it will require some detail work and after that is done i'll post pictures!
the color is out of this world -- i knew i'd love it but seeing it in person takes it to a whole other level.

popped by Stevens Creek Porsche today while on my way home from a fun driving day and checked out the Modegrau 991 GT3 they have. color is definitely on the light side. the way the light was coming into the showroom made it difficult to get a good picture, but there are already pics in this thread anyway. would be interesting to see it next to a Suzuka Gray Audi.
they got the car from another dealer since they didn't get an allocation and the car is listed at "Market Value". around here, i'm guessing that means at least 20k over MSRP. maybe more.

By the way, Anonymous918's newly arrived 'Modegrau' gt3 started out like all other 10 in our group but he was able to modify it since he is in the 918 VIP program. Buying not one but two 918 Spyders comes with some privileges! But apparently the VIP status was not enough to protect his gt3 from getting the now infamous 'worm crawl' on the clear that baked under the 'white' shipping vinyl protective wrap!
Anonymous: Why did they hold you 'Modegrau' gt3 outside the 'Porsche Exclusive' workshop for 3 months...that defeats the whole purpose of your air freight shipping and the whole VIP process.
Remember also you have not yet posted a full list of the options on your unique gt3. Although one of the 10 'Modegrau' that was given to you via the 918 VIP program, you were at least able to get your build modify to suit your desired options. This was a privilege almost none of the others 30 eventual owners were able to do on their 'locked/no modification' builds. So you were very lucky that way!
If you can also post this information & photos on this other thread, it would be appreciated.

because Porsche Exclusive is backlogged. i am sure you seen it before, but for those who haven't: Porsche Exclusive is just a small workshop with a couple of lifts and half a dozen "we-are-not-impressed-by-your-fancy-car" employees.
well, the whole VIP process is a bit of a sham. it is like when you get your membership upgraded from Platinum level to Diamond level - same bull**** just different marketing name
my car sits outside Porsche Exclusive waiting for it's turn just like any other car. it is not sitting in a protective bubble and it does not have a huge VIP sticker on top of it or armed guards next to it.

it looks more like wrinkles or as if worm crawled through the clear coat and left a very short trail in random places...
apparently putting the car into the heated booth body shops use helps a lot to remediate the situation, but doesn't fix it 100% and will require some further detail work to make it perfect.

well, taking the car into the heat booth at the body shop has helped with most of these imperfections (in fact, all are gone except for the only ones on the roof left)
i am going to take the car into the heat booth again a few times to see if the rest of it can be fixed or minimized... fingers crossed.

They are holding out for $50k over sticker. They have refused $30k over sticker they told me. I saw it the week after it arrived. Looks great on the GT3, especially with the black wheels.
Also, I can meet anyone if they want to see Fashion Grey in person. My new M3 is very close of not a dead match to the GT3 in their showroom.

the person i chat with there mentioned that there is a M3 around here in that color, so must have been referring to yours.

I saw the car in person at Stevens Creek. Sales staff totally ignored me (thankfully). I own a Suzuka Grey Audi and the colors are nothing alike. The Suzuka is very similar to Carrara White Metallic. The Fashion Grey is very beige / sand-colored (some brown / yellow in it).
