Default Aventurine Green with Clear Tail Lights?

Does anyone have Clear Tail Lights (or tinted) in their Aventurine Green 992? I am considering if I could make it work somehow and would have like to have seen some photos for reference. However, I don't seem to be able to find any even though I tried searching through different threads with Aventurine. Please do share if you have one!

I found this one below. For me, I think the red tail lamp goes well with the green. I also like the red third brake lamp. The idea that the two sets of nine grill slats and the two brake light slats spell out 992 is fun for me and didn’t want to hide the “two” by making it clear. Anyway, just my take.

I love this clear look and on my Aventurine Green C2S I ordered clear tali lights with gloss black Porsche and exterior to match painted 911. Hopefully it will look good but I am ordering BLIND!!!!

Awesome! Thanks, Dan. Exactly what I was looking for. (Or actually, you even cranked it up a notch, since the wheels of this car have gold in them, just like mine!) And don't get me wrong, I also like the red lights, they go very well with Aventurine (and the red brake calipers). I am not trying to hide the third brake lamp either, I as well like the "hidden idea" that it has (it actually spells out both 911 and 992 if you think of it... ). However, I was thinking if there were some room to play around a little and create a more unique look by using the clear lights (I would still leave the red reflectors below). Based on the photo, I think the best option would be to combine them with the normal silver coloured Porsche logo, the black one makes the back of the car a tad too gloomy. But I might replace my full "911 Carrera S" model text in silver with just gloss-black "911" to create a more minimalistic look to the rear.. Let's see what I can come up with!

The more I see this combo, the more I realize what a killer match Aventurine is with Aurum wheels!

Default The Final Pictures after Detail, PPF, and Modesta

Pic heavy! So now my obligation to post is completed. These were taken at Cape Henlopen at the Delaware beach, and I think is a good representation of the paint color. Thanks all.

Dan, that is sharp! I really like the grille painted in AG--I bet it's even better in person!

Thank you Dan, I love it. Its a gorgeous and classic 911. The AGM and Sport Tex look great together. Tell me about your enjoyment of the Sport Tex and 18 ways please.

Sorry, but I’ve only logged 250 miles in the seats. I love the way they look, they feel great, and they have a lot of adjustments. That’s about it, but there is a thread about sport Tex with people that have logged a lot more hours in them. You should search for that thread.

Yeah, actually, I think this interior is superb. Sport Tex and the carbon fiber interior trim/wheel go very well together. I have had leather interiors forever, so this is a refreshing change. The seats seem more comfortable, but I won’t know until taking a long trip. One thing that I should mention is the 18-way seats have a lot of adjustments. It’s a bit confusing finding the right adjustment for now. I’ve always had 14-way.
