Did not not expect that I would but actually, I really like the aurum highlight on this particular wheel with Aventurine Green. Really works. I bottled it on Aventurine and went Agate with Truffle deviated interior (the Swiss colour scheme). Definitely second guessing myself now. That’s a beautiful and tasteful scheme.

I saw Aventurine at Amelia Island back in March and fell in love. Great color - unique and classy. I am waiting for manual but for now a couple of observations. It seems that most are either deleting the model designation completely or only 911. I have seen some with bright trim around side windows and while it was hardly ever done on earlier cars it seems to be becoming more popular. (Most factory show cars have it.) The green with the gold wheels looks really good but would it look even better with the gloss black brake calipers? (Red calipers have always been a way to tell an S from a base car but does that really matter?) Again, these are only observations and not criticism as I would certainly be happy with any of the cars pictured above but I am looking for thoughts when I purchase mine.

AG is one of the colors that I'm considering as I, too, wait for the manuals to be announced. While I think the gold wheels look great, I'll probably go with silver wheels along with silver window trim. I like the way the bright wind trim contrasts with the AG, and I want the trim and wheels to match. I deleted the model designation on my 991.2 and thought about doing the same with a 992, but I think the bumper needs something to break it up a bit, so I'm going with just 911. Good point about the calipers.

I also ordered the Island Green interior. Hope to get delivery soon (in CARD state). The Island Green seems to be offered with this exterior color in mind. Please post your reaction when you get your car. I had initially chosen Truffle Brown but changed prior to order lock.

Congrats! Gorgeous car. I'm in Chicagoland too and mine exited Houston today. How many days did it take for yours to make it from Houston to Chicago?

Your car looks great. If not told otherwise, I'd think AG was a shade of gray just from the photos. I have same ext/int color combo on the way. Went with darker satin platinum wheels and dark trim all around. Are you happy with the green and mojave/black combination?
