was told that CXX is only post-production, and couldn't change the painted bits, which are production issues.

schmee got a carbon roof on his GT3 and I have see deviated painted hoods CXX so I think they are just being tough on you (which they should not given how good a customer you are).

maybe you're right - I wasn't motivated enough either way to push it. They have generally been helpful in the past though, and same contact,
inthink the Euro cars (and esp UK) are under time pressure to be built before spring so maybe that's part of it.
i know others, who spend more than me, who were also knocked back on paint, but have good level of CXX interior changes,

Yes, but Schmee's car was a PTS car, sounds like this one is not. So that's probably why the roof isn't optionable.

Best Regards,
Dave

Shmee150 do have a PTS GT3 but I don't think his roof is carbon fiber. Looks more like part of his CXX option to paint the roof black.

Tim’s car has the normal roof. No CXX roof, nada. I’ve confirmed with him.

Thanks for the confirmation PTSRS. I saw the video Exclusive video on how they installed the carbon roof on the Exclusive Series and compared that with Shmee150's video. It was very different that is why I commented I do not think Shmee150 has carbon roof on his PTS GT3.

Does anyone know how to get some sample paint of the new GT2 RS wheel. I love the White Gold color and if I can get a sample I can have it color matched because I want to get mine painted in the Spring. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

From H4mmer:

"got to know something interesting. good news for the rest of the world not so good for US and European customers. apparently, the new GT2 RS has to be delivered and registered in these markets before the end of June of this year. PAG has not confirmed any orders to any of the dealers outside these markets tell date waiting to see how much they can produce and deliver to these market before they can confirm to the rest of the world. It seems that they would not be able to meet their targets to deliver those cars to those markets in time to meet the emissions regulations in those markets and as a result, the surplus cars will be directed to the rest of the world where these regulations are not yet in effect. It is expected very soon that PAG will inform the dealers for those markets to confirm their orders for the GT2 RS. and deliveries to those markets should start from late summer."
