Thank you!

Yea, and regarding the indoor leather sills, I have those currently and I love them. I'm sure I could order from exclusive and just snap them on. I want ALL the contrast stitching ha!

Let the hate begin.

And even absolute Red which is not $7500 away from guards red (and PTS is about to get more expensive by the way)

However, there are certain colors which may be worth the PTS premium.
-any green obviously BC there is nothing similar.
-most blues BC miami is a **** color and graphite blue is beautiful in itself but not really a blue. So PTS Mexico/riviera/voodoo/Meissen/gulf/golf/midnight blue.. all worthwhile.
-yellows.. damn If signal yellow weren't far enough away from the current nasty fluorescent version.. signal is probably worth it, actually goes very well with red brake calipers, NOT pccb yellow at all. In fact red interior stitch with red brakes and signal yellow is gorgeous.
-any grey.. having spent a lot of time with a sport classic grey car last week; I can say it's fantastic.. who knew?
-silvers?... not in my mind. In fact gt silver is such an amazing depth, and if you want to go crazy, get a satin PFF over it and it's simply show car special.. spending any $ on some of the liquid metal craziness just isn't worth it.. then again if you are buying a $65k color we have a different sense of normal anyway.
-whites?- I just don't get it. Now that we have carrera/Carrara and regular white for free, and chalk.. any other ivory or similar just doesn't make sense. In fact, regular white with black details is "PTS" in my mind.. like a white RS.. omg, absolutely gorgeous.

I'm probably saying something which is quite obvious, hopefully not repetitive. Just thinking ahead to PTS hopefully and wondering what's really worth it?

I'm thinking jet black with black wheels with red pinstripe and red brakes with contrast red sittiching and every interior leather option is actually the most beautiful combo I can imagine at the moment. Spend the $$$ on condom wrapping so you stay swirl and chip-free, and all of a sudden you have the perfect non-PTS car with a huge sense of occasion. Because nothing but nothing beats a perfectly clean jet black 911 with a wing... I learned this from a movie I watched as a kid which first made me fall in love with Porsche's... Condorman
I'll go with black on gt2rs because 1. It hides the size of the car.
2. It hides all the black plastic panels on the RS.

Might go with silver wheels?
Red roll bar, stitching, belts and brakes.

Any thoughts on whether to go sport bucket seats vs LWB? I think I have the colour sorted (at least for the remainder of the week) as GR

Do you want / need folding back rests? I am just thinking that it could be useful to access the area behind the seat - particularly if the Mrs packs for a weekend away

Planning to use the Gt3 as a street car mainly

I'd like to hear the answer to this too. I've got LWBs in my Spyder and I find them a bit snug and upright. I've never sat in the sports folding buckets but they look in the 3D configurator that they are slightly wider fitting and also more reclined. Downside possibly is they look like they sit a bit higher. Can anyone confirm any of this?

Well, my screen may be the problem but indeed it seems that the first dark green 991 R was in fact used to test the PTS process for this model.

I'm late to the party....This car looks awesome with a manual transmission or PDK. Looks like 991R's are ready for a price hit now that the exclusivity of the stick is gone.
