Default New to me C4 GTS

I finally cracked under the strain of wanting a 911 for so long. I took a test drive in a used '17 C2 GTS which my long time dealer for Audi and Porsche, handed over the keys for my wife and I to take out (never had a test drive in a car without the sales guy riding along before). Wow, no turning back after that drive so I sent him a build for what I wanted last Dec. Long story short, no allocations for 2018 GTS left (in Dec 2017!) so after some time of hunting for an allocation, I found a lightly used (600 miles) C4 GTS with nearly all of what I wanted plus things I didn't but that's ok. Finally took a couple of pics today after paint correction and coating and Carnuba; tint; side markers. This is a wonderful forum as you know, thanks for the study resource.

Nice choice! Looks familiar! PDK or manual? Jet Black Metallic?

Cheers. PDK, regular black. My spec was for Carmine, C2, but beggars can't be choosers. It has RAS which it turns out is a good extra I hadn't spec'd.

Nothing like the buttery look of carnauba. You could just eat it up. Congrats!

Ah, "carnauba", my spelling (and pronunciation it seems) word of the day, thanks
