RAclaims - this was the first set of luggage they did like this so I do not think so - it was a favor to do them for me.
Thrilled with how it all turned out.
Thx
Jeff

Snorting laughing here. They won't match your wheel caps to the body color even though they apparently do that with other cars. But they will build you a one off set of luggage. I'm starting to think that they just are trying to mentally torture us with all of this exclusive back-and-forth BS

Haha tell me about it - I found a lot of road blocks on this side of the pond but when you speak to the correct people, anything is possible! Exclusive is really amazing.

I just got my RS allocation and am deciding between GT silver and UV. Is the UV still commanding significantly more money on resale? If so, why? I suspect that there are less UV cars built? Just wished that they opened up the PTS again...

^ There are so many people thinking this way esp. with late allocations, whatever small premium exists for UV is going to disappear if it hasn't already. Buy the color you want, not something to maximize resale. FWIW, of all four of the standard colors, GT Silver is the least (yes, even over UV.)

I only order what I want, not worried about the next guy.

wow, thats an amazing experience, I wish we could pay for Herr Preuninger to autograph our hoods, Harrison Ford charges $500 for his autograph, I hear

As for picking a color for resale, do you pick your wifes hair color for marketability if you get divorced? Drive it and have fun!

Buy the color that's going to put biggest smile on your face when you see it. I don't think any of the standard colors are going to command a big enough premium to offset you not getting the color that puts biggest grin on your face. There seems to be a ton of pts compared to past RS runs. So, you won't see the phenomenon you see in 7.1rs where green and orange carry premiums to black/white/silver. There was no pts then (although white was, technically speaking). So, try orange and especially green carry the pts premiums that the actual pts will carry in 991rs. That's my 2cents. I'm getting uv, but it's because I like it. No delusions it's going to carry a big premium as a standard color when there are plenty of pts in the 991rs run.

Hello!

I wasn't quite sure how to share this with everyone (literally just made this account seconds ago), but this thread was instrumental to figuring out the exact colors. I think I may have visited upwards of 30-40 pages in the past 3 hours, so I decided I'd give it to you first.

Anyways, I've recently fallen in love with these PTS colors, and decided to make a poster out of them! It's a 24"x36", so it's plenty large to print if you're interested. So far I've only got this blue one, but I'll be working on a variety one soon. Let me know what you think! I can post the RGB values I used for each color - though I know some of them may be a bit off.

Great job! This is the perfect example why I love this forum. Would be nice to see Mexico and Riviera adjacent to one another given how close they are.
