This green color is amazing. Ive been toying around with this color myself.

Its a great colour. Also very easy to maintain. I'll probably get a different colour for my next car to mix things up a bit, but I haven't ruled RY our completely.

I love this car in yellow, especially with the aero kit. If I were going in that direction I would definitely spec PCCB's with yellow calipers. I'd sell a kidney to do it as beyond the uber cool look with a yellow car, they are an amazing performance upgrade. I spent the extra $ on mine even though its a much more understated looking car and wouldn't want a 911 variant without them.

Hmm, not sure about the PCCBs. I’m not sure any performance benefit is worth it to me, and I’m scared off by the cost of replacement.

plus, I’m already selling one kidney to even consider this car.

I really like RY. I think the Aventurine Green gives it the classiest look, but the RY is definitely the sportiest.

There's a chance I might switch to RY last minute. Really stand out color.

I’d love to see photos of any of them out there, and get some ideas about interiors. Are you pretty much limited to black?

RY S with the aerokit is really calling to me.
Here is my girl...she arrive a few weeks ago.

Cars? Not so much.
Jet black metallic exterior and racing yellow contrast stitching looks GOOD...

can you put up some more photos? Did you go with a silver or black exhaust?

If one wants to be inconspicuous on the road, perhaps one shouldn't buy a 911....
