I submitted my build with the black/Iceland green interior and paldao wood trim. I'm wondering if I shouldn't change it to carbon fiber so that I can pick up the matching pieces for around the shifter. I know the gloss black tends to get scratched in those areas. I could mix and match the matte carbon in those areas with the paldao wood, but I'm not sure that would work.

I know. I'm torn. I think the wood matches the AG and Iceland green. My other configuration was Shark Blue over Slate/Chalk with Carbon fiber. Even though I submitted for AG, I still love the way the Shark Blue looks - the waiting is tough because some days I choose one over the other.

AG w/ Island Green and Paldao is perfect! If I were to choose AG, that would be my combination - and the Exclusive Wheels are just stunning. Stick with it. Will be awesome!

As some of you may have seen recently. My son took delivery of his first 911 in white. I’m sad to report... the car was totaled after some spirited drives. RAS failure & the back wheels came off.
So we decided to step it up & buy into the AG life!!! You know how it goes... The older we get, the more horsepower we want 🤣

Does anyone have an opinion on the sports front fascia with Aventurine Green? I submitted my Targa 4S build a few weeks ago AG over Iceland/Black and the only option I was on the fence about was the sports front fascia. I can still change it but don’t know if it’s as noticeable on AG vs lighter colors.

C2 Aventurine Green ordered
What's up y'all. I just put a deposit down on my first Porsche. 2022 992 C2 w PDK. Aventurine Green, Satin black S wheels, Premium, Glass roof, Sports Exhaust etc.
Here's the spec. Maybe I'll receive it by Q1 2022 if I'm lucky. One stand-out was choosing the rear light design kit option that darkens the brake lights. Gives the backend a much chiller stealth vibe without all that red.
I went rather basic as it's my first time. I could go S for $15k or so more and get the MT. Money is not the issue. I just genuinely don't think I need to. Maybe on my second build, I'll go all out and do a manual gearbox. This is an everyday driver for me and I've driven stick for 10 years. Ready to chill for a bit and see what the PDK is all about.
Lemme know what you think. Glad to be here.

As for your build, have you seen Aventurine in person yet? Just curious because the black satin wheels make take away from it a bit.

Thanks for your note and congrats on your new Porsche too!
I have seen AV in person on a Cayman w aurum wheels.
Which wheels do you suggest? My only other consideration now is black metalic. I am actually leaning to darker wheels now.

Awesome, good to know. Yeah, it's between satin and metallic black at this point for me. The Satin matches the grayed-out tail lights. That was my initial plan.
#315
I went with satin for a little more contrast against the metallic paint. I can upload some pics once the car gets delivered to hopefully help with your decision.
