@MDelaney Unfortunately I just haven't found time to take my own pics of interior, but here are some pics from the listing that show the orange stitching. Pretty subtle, but I think it's a nice touch:
Sometimes I wish I had held out for a Lava Orange 911. I had an orange Schwinn Stingray bicycle when I was kid and I always liked that color on sports cars.
LOL. This what mine looked like (mine was more gold than orange).
Great video and beautiful car OP!

My understanding is that it was the launch color for one of the GT3 model variants - I want to say that it was for the 991.1 GT3, but I'm not 100% sure, For the Carrera/S/GTS it was a regular option, albeit a $3k or thereabouts option. I know of 4 other lava orange 911s in the New England/NY area, with 1 of them being a 991.1 GT3, one a 991.1 Carrera 4S, one a 992 Carrera S, and then mine - a 991.2 Carrera S. Mine, however, is the only 7MT of the bunch.
Add one more (mine) in NW CT - also a 7MT. No idea where it lives, but leaving from my neighborhood a year or so ago, a Lava Orange TT went past just as I turned onto the main road. We didn’t stay together too long, but that was fun while we did. I know there’s a 991.2 GT3 in Lava Orange down in Fairfield County too. I love seeing them, but am happy they’re not more common.
Just to keep things going, here are some more of mine. The wheels in Germany were loaners from Porsche with winters (thus the silver) as I did ED in late Oct. My last lap of the Nürburgring had some snow, so I guess it was the right choice.
That Schwinn Stingray brings back memories. BMX bikes were "in" by the time I could ride, but my sister had a Schwinn. I think hers was bright blue with rainbow fleck (metallic, if you will) and long streamers off the handlebars. She's 4 years older, and I have some terrifying memories of riding double to get penny candy when I was about 5 years old. On that rig the passenger rode in the back, hands on those little hoops behind you and feet sticking out. Big down-hill on the way home, but as I recall she always managed to keep the rubber side down.
Not new pictures, these were from the shop that did the PPF/tint and are fancier than any pictures I ever took myself. Of note was I had the rear lights and lightbar spay-tinted because I didn't like the way the red lights on the 991.1 looked against Lava. And I couldn't just swap for the tinted lights from the GT3/911R because they never made a tinted light bar to match. First wash after delivery. Paint correction after delivery. Xpel wrap, Photosync tint, Ceramic coating.
Those are great pics - I like those rims as well. I’ve got to get my exterior care game up a notch.
Just the stock GTS rims, nothing fancy. I did the full frontal for PPF and it's still holding up great. And ceramic coating on the whole thing. Makes cleaning so easy even after all these years.
Nice gravel rig @Stealth 993 - custom paint job? What kind of bike?
It's a OPEN UP, stock color, they also have a Mexico Blue and Alien Green color stock.
They make some of the best gravel bikes out there, they do everything well, and are even good for the road with proper tires.
