Yes. I picked chalk with gloss door handles, gloss mirror bottoms, black wheels with the GR rim, PCCB, buckets with deviated red stitching, GR seat belts, GR wheel steering wheel marker, GR deviated light washers, Pepita inserts on the seats, 911 R stripes on the side - black lines, Porsche lettering in GR, the black LEDs. I think that's it. I think I painted a small trim piece GR. I don't remember. Should find out if Pepita and the 911 R stripes are approved in June.
Did you have to spec the full CXX seat which allowed you to do the piping and different color leather etc for $7-8k, or were you able to just get the seat inserts?
Does Chalk/Crayon look really beige/tan to anyone else or is it just my eyes?
I saw a Chalk Panamera at COTA and it did not appear to have beige tones - a grey for sure. Personally, I'd want a PTS - like Mex Blue - or would go for one of the vibrant colors (Miami, Lava, Yellow), it *is* a GT car. FWIW the latest Christophorus has an interview w/ a color consultant and he said orange was perfect for a 911 (recalling the classic 70s) - and one should not choose red

A true orange would be great on this GT3. But I'd go guards red or carmine red 8 days a week over lava/salmon.

I don't know yet. I put in the request with the Porsche special wishes folks and if they approve, they'll tell me what they'll do and what it will cost.

While I agree, orange's do look great on 911s, reds have ALWAYS looked great on 911's as well. From early longhoods, all the way to the latest and greatest from Zuffenhausen. To me, Guards Red embodied the impact bumper cars and nothing looked quite as awesome when I was a kid as seeing a GR 930 Turbo with black centered Fuchs. Red was also iconic for the 997 GT2RS and also looked fantastic on the 991 GT3's. The "color consultant" sounds like the same guy who's in fashion and made High-waisted pants fashionable for women to wear. When in fact, they hide the beauty of a woman's shape. It's not to say that some women can't pull them off, but low cut on the right woman will always be 100x's more sexy than high-waisted granny pants. Same goes for this "color consultant" heck, I bet he even wears a man-bun

I also have to wonder if someone at Porsche saw the Gold Carrera RS clone that's been floating around the Los Angeles area events like Luftgekuhlt and used it as an inspiration towards the Exclusive car.
