No.. that's the beautiful FREE yellow which actually looks very good on this model GT3 for some reason. Free and beautiful is so tempting.

how do you guys feel about racing yellow with red calipers? seems most all new GT3's i've seen in yellow have PCCBs. I am torn between white or yellow; but hate PCCBs.

Do it.. with red interior. Don't listen to the McDonald's-naysayers. There are lots of examples online, and the pccb don't even match with the racing yellow. In fact, red deviating stitching and red calipers with yellow looks great.. things don't have to match to look good. Consider maybe black wheels with the combo.

Although, I have to say that with a completely free color like this, I would consider stretching the budget for pccb'S just from a no-brake dust and performance perspective.

I don't mind the red calipers on my yellow GT4 at all. But I would NOT do red stitching were you can see red interior accents and yellow exterior paint at the same time.

Very tempted with yellow myself on the 991.2 GT3 but I have a yellow GT4 and feel compelled to try a new color...

I went with silver stitching with red center marker on steering wheel and red seat belts; besides calipers, no other red. I don't mind the brake dust of standard brakes; besides; i will end up getting brembo rotors and pads; much better feel and bite vs. stock... cheaper than PCCBs and better IMO...best upgrade if using on track. here she is in racing yellow... i think this is my spec... never liked yellow until the 991.2 GT3... just enough black to break it up.

White is always a great GT3 color. I was even thinking of GT Silver and paint wheels magnesium similar to GT2-RS and then add black Porsche decal from R on the sides in black.

One of the bunch posted few posts ago here, right before the 'signal yellow?' question.

Calexio, I agree. Hopefully if I get a build slot, Im tempted to skip Miami although I like it and pick a free color. Never considered yellow but it does look terrific.

If you get the red marker will your steering wheel still have Platinum stitching??

Loved white on my 991.1 GT3. But it's out for the same reason...

Very tempted by Miami and Chalk. Leaning towards Chalk at this point with black bits. But that $4k charge is highway robbery!

Laguna_Dude, any reason you opted for the gray LEDs vs. black LEDs on the yellow? I wish they had a black PDLS option. I suspect it will become available later just like it did on the 991.1 once the GTS came out...

I'm in a similar boat as you. I got the black wheels, nipples painted and the yellow belts.

Never really liked yellow either, but after my 991.1 was in white, I figured I'd change it up a bit.

I am going old school although may sound boring- Metallic Black with Satin Aluminum wheels, white gauges and silver stitching.

Still on the fence about GR but have already had (2) Red Porsches
