Thanks for the pictures.
Another observation and question. Where is the stopwatch/clock on the dash? The Sport Chrono package is standard on this car (at least in NA) and the stopwatch/clock should be on the dash.
Thoughts?

In Europe it's an option. In NA you get the Powerkit as standard in this car and the Sport Chrono comes with the Powerkit.

Not feeling the graphite gray...it looks just like the 997.2 GT3RS but somehow doesn't "pop" out nearly as much. I think Porsche really should picked a red interior to go with the graphite. The black houndtooth just looks dull on a already flat paint exterior. thx for the pics though.

Here is a fairly nice video of the graphite car at the Frankfurt auto show. Nothing new. Just FYI.

This really is THE color of the 3. I'm starting to like it now ! (whereas I hated it in the other 2 colors)

The black does look good but so does the graphite - that's why they make different colors. I like the houndstooth but I am sure others won't. The deviated stitching also looks good. BTW: The black one has the yellow calipers for the ceramic brakes which aren't standard.

Visited the evening reception yesterday - graphite is really a great colour. It stand out against the geyser car and interesting to see most of the visitors gathered round the graphite 991-50.

Thank you for posting the picture. It looks very good. Please post some more pictures of your car when you get it. You might be one of the first to receive the 50th Anniversary car.

Also, thank you for your advice regarding the rear wiper earlier. I was able to delete it.
