Default Yachting blue metallic Touring build

I was worried this color might be a little country club but after seeing the renderings I’m loving it! Would love to hear any thoughts on the build. Think I may delete the carbon roof and mirrors.

Seat inserts are a tartan from P1.

Default Yachting Blue

For what one opinion is worth, I like it. I have a TTS coming this summer in Yachting Blue. Check out Instagram Porsche 992 GT3. Lots of real photos including a Yachting Blue Touring. Good luck.

Gorgeous! I agree with dropping the carbon. You're paying so much for paint, may as well get the most out of it (perhaps consider the fully painted mirrors).

What's P1 saying these days about inserts for 992? Have they got a solution for the revised sensor in the passenger driver's seat? I believe they were working on it.

I’ve done a set of houndstooth inserts in a 992 GT3 already; no big deal, just an extra step with the passenger seat.

I’m a little on the fence about the interior color, may switch to a brown. Thoughts?

if going to do the miles and use a bit, id go darker. the chalk is nice but difficult. Picks up jeans blue very very easily. Cognac ?

Yachting Blue is a great color, but I am a little biased.

Ditto - I really like yachting blue on the 911 body shape. If it were me I'd do a cognac interior but the white + tartan certainly works.

Have you consider doing the horizontal carbon dash piece in exterior color. Saw this spec on a shark blue GT3 in Miami last week and it looked surprisingly good.

That might be a great idea! Would bring some more color into the interior to tie everything together.
