Default Sport Classic Tribute - Thoughts?

Hello All:
I have a 992 GT3 on order that is supposed to be to me in about 90 days. Here is my build code: PN5E5QZ1http://www.porsche-code.com/PN5E5QZ1

I wasn't offered the chance to PTS or a Touring. So of the available colors I chose Chalk (I've had lots of silver and gray Porsche's).
I'm thinking of making a 997 Sport Classic "tribute". I know that Chalk isn't the same as Sport Classic Gray, but it has the same feel.
I plan to use the Forgline FUC3 wheels. I already have a set on my 991.2 Touring and love how they look.
Thanks to Anthony at Carrara Design for helping with the designs. carrara.design
Here are some renderings. Let me know what you think.

I Think it looks great! I hate that the ducktail version looks so much better than the Touring though…

Anthony is the best! Two thoughts. 1. Yellow stitching would look good if you are going with those seat inserts. It would also tie in with the pccbs. 2. Consider the GT3 logo in body color or eliminate it for a more bespoke look. I did it body color on my wife’s Spyder and it looks great. Leaving it off my 992 build. Are the seat inserts from ClassicFX? I like them a lot. Good luck!

I think that looks really classy and timeless


I do agree with yellow stitching on seats.

Thanks guys.
I actually do have yellow stitching spec'd but Anthony wasn't able to render it.
I'll consider doing the GT3 script in body color. Good idea!
The seat insert design is from P1 Designs. I'm actually wondering if pepita/herringbone might look better.

Appreciate the input!

Here are the latest renderings with yellow stitching and pepita seat inserts. I also included a new rear picture with the stripes going over the rear duck tail. Would appreciate thoughts.
Thanks Anthony!!

My opinion, since you’re asking is that it looks good except this wheel style needs to be an inch or two smaller. The Fuch style looks better with more tire.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm not sure the GT3 can use smaller rims with the PCCB brakes.
