Those clear corner lens standard 991 issue items or car specific to the RS?

I LOVE those Black LEDS. On my white GT3, I thought the black xenons were a little too overall black, and didn't get them for that reason. Would have definitely gotten these if they had been available.

Still too black for a white GT3 that doesn't have all the black accents of the RS, IMO.

Just saw the RS in person and really happy with it's look not as big as I thought it would be which is a good thing. One thing I noticed is that the front lip spoiler and bumper cover look identical to the GT3, I don't think it's any wider. It looks like they make up the width between the RS front fenders and the regular GT3 bumper with wider vertical elements of the lip spoiler. In person it really looks different with added width almost like an after thought. Glad I got the black as it will blend in better.

I saw LO in person today on a TT. It's the color of farm raised salmon. Lots of pink in it. More pink and less red than this photo shows. I don't know how to resize it.

Default 'Lava Orange'...

OK...Skuna Bay. I am both picturing it... and savoring it at the same time!



Folks, all I can tell you is that you better get used to this color. Porsche AG has fallen head over heels for this color and it's encouraging its customers worldwide (via being the official 'communication color' on the gt3 RS and almost playing the same role for the .2 991 intro to come in September) to love & order this color! During my visit to Zuffenhausen last Thursday & Friday, this color was everywhere...quite literarily overwhelming the senses!

At first take, 'Lava Orange' seems to have an almost 'milky' overtone to it, especially in broad sun light. All I can say is that it's surprisingly nothing like the vintage/historic 'Blutorange/Tangerine' that I remember from the early 911 period. And that is originally the color that some of us thought this 'Lava Orange' was derived from. And technically, that might still hold true from a paint color evaluation! But in person, it just doesn't give you the same vibe as the old 'blutorange/tangerine'.

But, regardless of how we at Rennlist feel about it, I can promise you that 'Lava Orange' will be the color most associated with Porsche in MY2016 and possibly MY2017! So sit back...and enjoy it.







So 'carcommander.': Please try this 'farm raised' salmon with a side of baby carrots & scalloped potatoes! You might get to enjoy it after a few 'bites'!
