As far as I know, the only way to get Graphite Grey, right now, is to get a 991 50th. It is not on the approved PTS list, nor is it even up for feasibility review.
Is the official color code for 50th Anniversary 'Graphite Grey' really 'C2C2'? Can someone confirm?

I think it was also impossible to get the grey of the Sport Classic for any other 997...Like that, the limited editions stay a bit more special...

Eduardo's the man in this case (well, in many other cases too, heh). But yeah, you're right, Sport Classic Grey (63A) has not been made available via PTS, and I suspect PAG will keep it that way.
Well, we learned something new when Rennlister Mag3 posted the following a few months ago:

"my custom order C4S just arrived at the dealership... ;-)
i was able to:
- do the PTS geyser grey
"



'Geyser Grey' was not on the approved 'PTS' list as of 9/09/2014, even though it was a color used in 'Limited' production (as opposed to 'Mass Production') on some of the 50th Anniversary editions! That's because only colors requested for PTS end up on that list and Mag3's car was built after that date (I think). But since Mag3 requested it & the color was approved for his C4S, it would not be unexpected to see 'Geyser Grey' show up on the next updated PTS list!

However, I am as surprised as most of you that PAG allowed the 50th Anniversary's 'Geyser Grey' to be used as PTS for Mag3's C4S. I guess some colors are 'Truly 'Exclusive' and some are just 'Pretend Exclusive'!

Looks like the 911 50 owners prefer to keep a special edition as it is. I was very ambivalent before I first saw it. I think that Porsches are perfect as they come from the factory and special edition should not be touched at all.

But still, I love the side decals on the classic Porsches. What I had in mind was this:



As the decals can be removed any time, I decided it’s worth a try. For now, I really like it. I like the black accent on gray paint, a bit sportier, but sill classic and not too flashy.

I like it, especially how the side emblem on your 50th anniversary edition echoes those past models. One thing about rennlist, there are always plenty ready to criticize on what is and isn't right about a 911 build. But then you knew that when you asked.

Thanks! And yes, I was ready to accept dissenting opinions. I met the rennlisters as skeptical, but also knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts that (mostly) argue reasonable and respectful. So far, it seems to be a matter of taste. No one came up with compelling cultural theoretical or art historical reasons why its not to like... ;-)

So its all god, I'm still happy with the decals.

Um, not so much.

But it's your car, if you like it that's all that matters.

Not feeling the love for the stripe, but it's your car.
