I’ve narrowed my final build to two I like most. I currently have renders from @Carrara Design coming in for both. My car is going to lock anytime now.
What I like: this build has a motorsport inspired theme to it that I really like. The majority of past Tourings usually have silver rims with yellow PCCB, especially since black PCCB were never an option. This build has a more sporty feel to it & would probably be less common. The black pack ties-in really well with the black brushed aluminum/bucket seats & overall aggressive look of this gen. I originally had yellow PCCB on this build, but ultimately felt they would stand out too much. I would probably have to do some kind of yellow contrast stitching/belts to tie them in, but I’m not a fan of the yellow interior look. So with black PCCB, I can at least say I matched the stitching & belts 🤣
What I may not like: black rims have always given a more aggressive look. They don’t photo well either as they create a black hole effect. Should the Touring be more elegant like build 2?
What I like: the car has a little more color. Has a classic 911R look to it with silver rims & yellow PCCB. The yellow is more subdued behind silver wheels, where as satin black wheels with yellow PCCB would become a focal point. I’ve had similar builds of past so I know I’d still like it. Anthracite brushed aluminum looks upscale & would tie-in nicely with silver stitch & silver exterior specs.
What I may not like: this build is nearly identical to my 992S I recently sold. Silver trim, silver wheels, yellow PCCB. The silver tied-in nicely with the brightwork of the Carrera interior (bright silver brushed aluminum). The overall theme worked well together & matched the character of the car. The GT3 has no brightwork in the interior… Will I regret getting a nearly identical car?
My last 992:
For context. Both cars will have the same all black interior. Build 1 has black brushed aluminum & black stitching & build 2 has GT silver stitching & anthracite brushed aluminum to help tie-in the silver exterior elements. I took inspiration from the launch car.
I’ll update with the renderings as well when I receive them.
I like the white with silver wheels. Maybe it’s very similar to your last build as you really like that combo?
I too go with similar builds most of time as I really like silver wheels and certain colors(red or blue for gt cars everytime). Had black, gold, satin; silver is what I like so I get it…

Thats my two cents. Get what you really like.
I did like the combo. It fit the Carrera well, especially with bright silver interior aluminum trim. I’ve always gravitated to satin black on GT cars though. 🤔
I second this. It would be a very exclusive car in this configuration. Too many plain jane silver wheels (but build what your heart wants), you need a little bit of spice in life. My .02 cents.
