My 2 cents: black seats. Goes with your black and UV exterior combo. The yellow accents inside and out are perfect. IMO, adding LO to the mix gets a little busy with some already very bold colours. BTW, you might also want to consider black wing uprights and stickers, and maybe RY door pulls.

But at the end of the day, just get what you like best.

Sorry Dertub I didn't get the code for the decals just the cost. If I find out I'll let you know.

Definitely choked about no more pts as well. I was told no more up to end of production for the RS. I think they may not want to do anymore for the RS even if they could but I still hope they'll open it again.

Maybe you just can order the door handles from the GT4 in yellow and let your shop do the switch. I did so with red door straps.



From the GT4 configurator

Just remember all the great racing liveries are bright color combinations. Martini, Gulf, all the classic 917s. The only memorable one for me that was dull colors is the Naked Lady GT2, but that one takes really big *****...

LOL, Nate, what a fetching car! Counterpoint, not all bright colour combinations were created equal.



Silverrules, don't put much weight in my opinion, just get what speaks to you!

Mike: As it seems that none of our dealer Rennlisters (Geoff at Isringhausen or Charlie at 'Auto Gallery') have
chimed in with a clarification to what was earlier posted (and which was contradicted by Melissa in the case of
door pulls apparently not available in 'Acid Green'
), I have asked my contact at 'Porsche Exclusive' in Germany
to see if he can answer for us a number of questions on this topic. My email was sent today and let's see if we
can get them to respond & explain for us what is truly available. As all could see today, the LWB seats are available
with color piping...which is something we were told would not be available on that particular seat version!

Looking at the stitching pattern, this is NOT the stitching pattern delivered on the GT3 and GT3RS LWB seats. Look at the stitching that surrounds the shoulder support. This does not occur on the GT3RS and GT3 LWB as delivered. The colored stitching ONLY follows the outside of the seat frame. The seats in your picture are of the same style as delivered on the 918. I suspect this car received 918 seats NOT GT3 or GT3RS seats.

I personally prefer the 918 stitch pattern and thought I was going to receive it on my LWB GR3 seats - no go! That was a disappointment especially since the online configurator showed the stitch pattern for the GT3 as like the 918. If deviated stitching is offered it will be interesting to see how it is executed. I suspect NOT like as displayed in the green car discussed.

I do have confirmation that the door pulls do not come in Acid Green unfortunately, on the bright side you can have them in "Black"

Yes, Greg, we are talking about 'piping', not stitching, on these seats, which were captured in photos
initially taken by Oaktown...



...and later posted on Facebook by Porsche:

Effective Nov 1 2015, PAG offers either deviating stitching or deviated piping
in their .1 991 gt3 RS seats, and that is apparently so for both LWBs & the
18-ways Sport Plus Seats!


***

The new piping option on the .1 gt3 RS, previously seen on the 918 Spyder of
course, was first mentioned by Farfromcommongt3 in post #1013 on the Sport
Plus Seats:


https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...gt3-rs-68.html


It was brought up again by Geoff in the information he gave me and found on
post #1040:


https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...gt3-rs-70.html



***
Seat Piping in deviating color, as you all well know, is nothing new at Porsche. The 356 Speedster
featured bucket seats with deviated piping as early as 1954.





We last saw 'Acid Green' piping on 911 seats on the .2 997 Limited Edition
918 Spyder models (see earlier photo attached). And of course, the 918
Spyder LWBs featured colored piping from the start! What is new here is
that PAG has finally allowed piping on seats on a 991. And it has chosen
to do so first at this late date on the .1 991 gt3 RS!

MoeGt3:

Thank you for that confirmation. The discrepancy with what first reported here
by me based on information received from a dealer is noted. Mike (w8mm) was
first one to bring it to our attention. What are all the colors of door pulls offered?

Hey Eduardo,

They just offered me just 4 colours.. Black, Lava Orange, Grey and Yellow.

Again why offer Yellow door pulls and not offer Yellow deviating stitching when it is openly available on the GT4.. The other 3 make sense, but the Yellow to me just does not fit on the RS in my opinion.

What do we think this color is? Looks like PTS 1970s Porsche Light Yellow?
