I have ordered mine in Shark Blue and am going to stick with it. I think the T looks best in the bright, "skittles" colors. In my order of preference: shark blue, ruby star neo (I think RSN will go down as a legendary and sought after color for the 992 T but I am hesitant to pull the trigger because it is the only color I've never seen in person), python (also a future legendary color), guards red, and racing yellow.
Totally agree with this. The T will be a sleeper in classic colors like GT Silver but its true personality and intended purpose will really shine if you pick a "skittles" color. Does anyone know if Ruby Star Neo is the same as the classic PTS color Ruby Star (of which we've seen plenty of GT3 examples)?
And yes, metal sunroof goes against the Ethos. Then again, its the one of the only options August Achleitner has on his 991.2 T
"In the last half-year, I almost only drove a Carrera T [with a] manual and I love this car," Achletiner added. "It's just pure. The only option I have beside the navigation system is a sunroof. Wonderful." - Road and Track
oh great you've said the E word. I think if you like an open air experience (I loved driving my 997S with the metal sunroof open) its a nice option. I doubt you'll notice the extra weight up top on the streets, even if you went glass.
Carmine is a beautiful color and I think works really nicely with the Titanium Grey on these. The preparation for Porsche dashcam is a confusing option still because people aren't finding pre-wiring in the car and dealers are still quoting a monstrous amount of labor hours to install the Porsche dashcams which I'm not convinced are any better than the aftermarket options. Might be worth some research into that.
Chalk will look great. I am going with Ice Grey Metallic. In person (on a Taycan), Ice Grey Metallic looks nothing like the configurator. On the configurator it looks silver. However, in real life, it is white with cool blue grey tones that I think (hope) will look really cool with the grey bits. A bit monochrome and will blend in with the sea of grey and white cars but I like to be a bit subdued.

If arctic grey or a medium grey metallic were available without paint to sample I'd probably go that route. As far as chalks go relative to other brands it's a great look.

Other option is the no-cost plain white and then do a wrap which I'm still considering.
I'm going IGM too. Its almost like two colors in one... in cloudy weather it takes on a slightly brighter chalk-like appearance. Once the sun hits it, it really comes alive. I also think it will highlight the curves of the 992 nicely. Plus I think it will look great against the Lizard Green interior T package. Enjoy 25 pages of pics of IGM in this thread: https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/th...can-club.2823/
Here it is next to Chalk. There's a big difference.
In the sun I think it looks stunning:
Under cloud it goes to a more muted grey:

"Ruby Star Neo is a new interpretation ("neo") of the very popular, historic Porsche color Ruby Star. Compared to the historic color Ruby Star Neo is slightly darker and less saturated with a modern touch."
Possibly not 😀; I originally spec’d Guards Red to keep a heritage colour, but they have a stunning carmine red in the dealership with the gloss black GTS option (not sure about all the gloss), but the colour was stunning!
Does anyone know if Ruby Star Neo is the same as the classic PTS color Ruby Star (of which we've seen plenty of GT3 examples)?
It is similar but not the same, which is why it is unlikely that Ruby Star Neo would ever become a legendary color. It is too close in name and appearance to Porsche Heritage Ruby Star, which is already iconic. You get RSN because it is close enough to iconic RS that it’s not worth the delta to pay for PTS. Well, that and the fact that PTS is not even an option (at least for now).
