Yeah, I would have passed on that, too - too much orange! I don't mind painted interiors, makes it pop. But too much orange against that two-tone, ugh!

Very true. The one that 991 Dreamer recently picked up (a page or two back in this thread) is gorgeous, an example of "more is more."

Admittedly, my build was in the "more is more" direction (bought CPO, dealership built it this way)...but I think it works together nicely...

Very nice house my friend. Add in a nice glass garage to see the car

Love modern architecture. Minimalist and mid century. Good stuff

Thank you for the kind words. garage pics as soon as my car gets here. (very basic compared to some Ive seen on this board)
I joked about glassing in the interior garage wall...... she didn't really appreciate that idea......

sorry for the thread tangent, back to nice cars.......

More about the cosmetics like bad color choices than the options. Your car looks great Hurricane.

See, I'm ok with this. Maybe not my first choice, but don't mind it. Not over done.

Thanks! Love all the glass on your structure - looks great!

I bet this one would look good in person. I'm actually a fan of the painted interiors (except for black and maybe white) - red, blue, yellow, orange...breaks up the interior. But not so much in a two tone car (looks too much like a rainbow).

My dream car is sapphire blue with a painted interior. But even then, you can go overboard. Painted vent slats, for example, are just too much for me. There is a balance there somehow.

Thanks!

I have seen some really fun examples of questionable builds in the exclusive thread...they crack me up!

Did anyone notice this GTS in the classifieds?

The story seems legit; ridiculously well maintained; nice extras like PPF

Decent build, and reasonable price, but no PSE https://admin.porschedealer.com/repo...AB2A96DS121357

Through a dealer, or private party? You can do something like a Fidelity warranty if being sold privately.

Personally, I would not want to deal with a black car, but it will look awesome for 30 seconds after you wash it

Edit to add: Get the windows tinted ASAP if you buy it
