Slowly getting it put together. Picked up at PECATL April 29th. Then to detailer for full PPF, tint, wheel, top and leather treatment. Then back to dealer for Numeric/Function First shifter and SmartTOP. Waiting for appointment for ALP/Blackview install then I think that's about it until a set of winter tires and wheels later in summer.
Aventurine Green/Truffle with chalk stitching, Paldao trim/ black top.
Happy with the way it turned out.
@Spiffx I may be in the minority here... but when it comes to sports/exotic cars, I favor the bold, bright or unique colors. Many may say that is not very subtle, but the spec you are choosing (w/ aero package), you are already going big. Why not make your GTS a bit more spicy? Carmine red, shark blue, racing yellow and python green come to mind. I currently roll with a Miami Blue 992C2S...and I get more complements from people (and huge smiles from kids)... it has made 911 ownership even more special and fun. But if you want to go grey to blend into the crowd more... you be you. Can't go wrong with any of the 911 color choices.
Thanks I am debating this exact setup with maybe 90 on front windshield. Do you happen to have any more pics straight on drivers side door to get feel for how dark it is?
Here are the pictures you request. However, you won’t be able to see what you’re looking for in pictures. I don’t like window tint in my cars. Much prefer the clear look. What I can tell you is that I can’t notice much difference.

Thank you @Baconator. My original choice was Shark Blue. I love that color. Long time ago I was fixated on a yellow Porsche (long before I could afford one). Now I fell in love with Chalk.
I’m just not sure if the GTS theme would go well with Shark Blue. I think Shark Blue would require glossy black to look right, rather than the standard GTS satin black. Glossy is expensive and will be high maintenance. Also, I don’t really think I like gloss in general.
I’m not sure Chalk goes well with the dark GTS theme either. Feels it’d go better with a Classic theme (the Classic wheels I have now).
I haven’t seen Carmine Red in person, but if I was to go in that direction it’d probably be Guards Red. I saw a delightful Targa GTS in Guards Red over black at the dealership. Both my wife and I loved it!

This comment is a huge help. I don’t like tint either and have never done it in any of my cars. But thinking totally for heat and not looks. Also since Porsche now took the garage spot my Audi is outside baking this time of year and want to get some protection for it. Do you notice a big difference with heat and sun? Any glare on front windshield?

I have not noticed glare. Therefore, it’s probably not there.
Houston is just now starting to get hot. My car doesn’t stay outside much. The times I’ve left it under sun, I have the general impression that it hasn’t gotten as hot as other cars I’ve owned in the past that didn’t have tint. However, I don’t know if I can attribute that entirely to the tint. The 911 has big doors and less air inside than a regular sedan or SUVs. Therefore, I imagine that when I open the door, the hot air inside equalizes faster with the air outside. This is just hypothesis based on nothing.
Nevertheless, I do believe the tint helps. See below their marking material.

.....70 all around works great. I have Crystalline 70 on all windows and it works wonderfully, looks OEM and it isn't obvious that it's tinted.
Got it last week. Have a C8 but this is a little better daily. Has the manufaktur leather interior which I could not resist.
I saw this car 2 weeks ago at Porsche West Houston. High spec, absolutely beautiful interior. I fell in love with the Bordeaux Red / Chalk combination. Congratulations!
Wondering how much ADM you were able to negotiate? Or down to MSRP?
