These auto show lights really bring out the orange in Guards Red. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your feeling about GR. I'm not a fan of GR on regular 991's. I really want to like this one. Can't wait to see it in person when I go to the show this weekend. Voodoo if I can get a PTS slot, but undecided otherwise (White vs GT Silver vs GR??)

Looks amazing. I was on the fence but these pictures won me over. Porsche's booth is always the highlight of the NYautoshow for me.

I guess a rear lift will be the next most desired option :-)

Can someone look at the black wing ends and see if they're the same matte black as the lower mirrors and rear deck lid scoops?

Not a photographer, but why the overexposed chromish or super gloss effect?

The fins and that area are pitch black underneath the car. I had to bring up the exposure levels so that everyone can see the fins.

I believe I read some where they are

The GT4 ones are also slightly tinted. I like the look better than just bright red

It is more GT4-like. I actually like it better. More aggressive looking. I always liked the GT4 front better and the GT3 rear so happy they now gone this direction
