Really NICE! I Love that Color & the black wheels really set it OFF! But, you could probably put pretty much ANY Wheel with That color & it would look Awesome!

Really beautiful car man, congrats. Love those wheels with the blue. Are those GTS rims matte or gloss? Whatever it is.... it is just right

Either way, a nice add to the collection... couple pics:
I got a similar package from PCNA last week. Mine had a nice carbon fiber writing pen in it also.

The GTS center lock wheels are semigloss. They are very nice.

Hmm, where was the pen... assuming yours came in the grey cardboard sleeve thing?

The pen was on the far right side of the box. The brochures/Porsche books were in the center. Right below the pen was a plastic card (size of credit card) with my name on it, GTS, and the VIN of my car.

Maybe PCNA sent out a different package then Porsche of Canada. Here is a pic of the package mine came in. Sorry, it's upside down.

Default True color of SAPPHIRE BLUE
Are the pictures submitted in the after shots of the application of OPTI COAT a true representation of the color ? Reason I ask is that in most other pictures, the color appears more like Cobalt Blue or even Acqua Blue. I saw a 991 in Sapphire Blue in a showroom at night under fluorescent light and it was stunning. I have not seen this color in natural sunlight.

Hard to say, each camera adds its own bias based on the lighting/location etc. The last couple picutres look lighter than normal though due to the reflection from the snow and lighting.

Agreed that Sapphire Blue looks particularly amazing indoors under lighting (ie. showroom) but it is equally great in real life. Hard to find the best example but this picture might be one of the more accurate... particularly at the top of the rear fender where it meets the C pillar.

its freakin agony ... not even alcohol or constant abuse of the car configurator or google searches on 991+GTS+Cabriolet can take away the longing ...

being Scottish I am reminded of this potential remedy for the endless yearning:
