I'm an April build now, taking ED until 5/18/15

You are correct, at least to my eyes. Carmine doesn't look anything like those pictures.

Carmine, guards, amaranth red

Could someone put a picture of amaranth red up against the others. I think it would be in between the carmine and guards, and also metallic. All nice colors.

+1 but you can buy a replacement SD or SD cup splitter for around $190 and get that painted matte black.

Yap! Oh BTW, looked at your GTS built, it is going to be an hawsome one. I canceled my GT3 and thinking of building a GTS also.

curious why you are thinking of changing from the GT3 to the GTS coupe?

If I wasn't in the market for a DD/weekend car that appealed to my wife, I would be getting the GT3! (but this way I get to keep my 997.2 which I love)

"Le Grand Chien" ...

Will do when I'm decided, sometime next summer.

Gros Chien is BigDog French translation, meaning the one that always wants to be ahead of the pack!

. I've been nicknamed by my riding buddys in the mountains (BC) on my snowmobile and snowbike

I was told by the dealer the diff. in price is because my car will have 10 years paint warranty while the GTS paint only has a 5 year warranty. Does this sound right to any of you? Also, the pics. of this GTS look almost metallic, at least on my computer, please tell me its a solid color, as I ordered. When I saw C.R. on a Cayanne (sp?), it was a darker and a little more subdued red than G.R., and not metallic.

Geez, that stinks. When Carmine Red for the GTS was first announced, I immediately wondered how folks who had paid the $5500 premium for it via color-to-sample felt. The fact that your car has been bumped back only adds insult to injury. Don't blame you for getting out of it.
