If I had a Signal Green order, I would go Silver Microfiber interior, silver wheels and black decals. I would actually order some bronze wheels from HRE after the car arrives. But I like things to be different..

I'm not big on the microfiber option. But I think I agree that black, silver and white should be the interior for a signal green car.
Outside, I really like the black wheels on this color. If I was ordering UV, I think silver is the right look.
I even ordered an extra set of center caps and having a local paint shop do the RS in green. AKA 997 style. This photo was my inspiration.

I think acid green stitching would look stunning on a SG GT3 RS.

Just for the record, we are not yet certain if the deviated stitching in this photograph (above) is 'Acid Green' and not 'Racing Yellow'.
I have asked confirmation from 'Porsche Exclusive' in Germany, but I don't yet have a response. Charlie (farfromcommongt3) is pretty
sure it's 'racing yellow' stitching.

However, I am pretty sure that the interior in this other 991 gt3 RS below is 'Acid Green'. It has the piping instead of the deviated stitching,
although both have the deviated stitching embroidered in the headrest! Hopefully PAG let us know soon.

Didn't mean to suggest AG would be an exact match to SG.

Just that the varying shades of green would provide a nice contrast.

Sort of like how yellow belts provide a nice yellow contrast with the PCCBs on the GT3.

Gotcha. That's the type of thing I probably wouldn't have guts to do without seeing. But I wish I could... I might like it!

What? Yellow belts clash hard with the PCCB calipers.

Silver on a Signal car is a sensible option. Of of the colored thread options I'd actually go with LO. Green and orange can work. Song 1 is in Austin and the colors were perfection.

I chose LO & Voodoo, and may go with an LO cage to keep it extra spicy.

Default Just in case you are not familiar with PTS 'Olympic Blue'...

A friend just received this particular gt4 in the beautiful 'Olympic Blue' PTS color. The hue dates back from the 914 era.

Here are some photos I took of 'Olympic Blue' at 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen last July:

Photo 1



Photo 2



Photo 3

PS Note how camera lenses fail sometimes. In photo 1, 'Olympic Blue'
looks pretty 'blue'. As I take photo #2, the same damn camera turns
the 'Blue' a little bit 'grey'. Never trust photos of colors...you need to
see them in person!

You guys are killing me with all the amazing color choices for the the GT3 RS and GT4...

Its not fair that the window is so short for PTS

But then again, I'm not sure I would be able to choose one color...I'd be changing my mind every day

I'm doing Viper with LO - green and orange works well, I'm trying to decide if I continue the theme on the outside or not with LO wheels/mirrors/wing tips.

I'm just not a fan of black wheels on modern cars - the rubber is too large to pull it off imo. Here's some alternative inspiration. First car is actually Viper Green as Signal wasn't a 2.7 RS color, but it's close enough. I'm a big fan of Bronze Wheels and I think it's very cool with Signal Green.
