Thoughts on ice grey metallic with green T interior package? Ice grey seems to have a blue hue which might conflict with the bright green accent color. Anyone have that combo?
I have a GT Silver T with the Lizard Green T package and it looks fantastic, I have to imagine it would in Ice Grey as well. I ALWAYS get compliments on that interior. In fact, I would order the no-cost option "interior trim in exterior color" as well.

I haven't wanted to hardwire the system, but am starting to realize it might be difficult not to. What have people done? Blendmount seems like an option? Has anyone just plugged it in and gotten on with it?
On Sunday I picked up the T from my dealer in Central California. I then went on a 230+ mile drive from the dealer to home in Northern California getting a mix of highway and b-roads (Hwy 25 and 198) and passing by Pinnacles National Park (route). Even keeping under 4K RPM (for break-in), the car is a lot of fun to drive and allowed me to be a bit of a hooligan when no one was around.
Dealer experience was great! They purchased and installed clear side marker lights and installed radiator grills for me. The radiator grills I got were from Rennline (link) which require the bumper to come off and cannot be seen easily from the outside. They didn't charge me for labor and I only had to purchase and ship the grills to them. Overall I highly recommend Porsche San Luis Obispo for anyone considering a new/used Porsche.
TYD just updated my dates. March freeze and June delivery.
I have selected ocean sea blue metallic for the paint but also really liked lighter green. Car will have the aero kit in high gloss black.
Has anyone seen cars in either of these colors? Thoughts?
Ocean blue metallic (can't fine ocean 'sea' blue?) is nice - also consider Albert blue. It is non metallic but very classy. Since you are considering more loud colors like lighter green, also think about the oranges. Personally I love bahama tellow, signal yellow (both look orange to me), and pastel orange. Not sure why a classic like signal orange isn't there...
I got custom seat insert samples sent to me by for my incoming T and current GT3.
Amazing! Woooow have no words. Both of them are beautiful but I like the stripes a bit more since it’s more close to the T package cloths.

You can find the T package in grey posted on page 1494 here: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1230...l#post19207762. Also you should know by now that the T package has no stitching of the shifter boot and steering wheel. Which you can clearly see in Wilders car.

Just to make it clear to you. The first top part of the dash from left to right comes in leather with stitches if you have the leather interior. So that part of the dash is included. With the extended dashboard in leather you get the leather parts on the side which you can only see when the door is opened. And you get a small part of leather with stitching around the chrono. On the 991 the price was the same but you would get much more in leather with stitches. So it’s a bit of a waste of money on the 992. I assume you have other leather options added as well right? If not, better to use this money for those other leather options.

Fantastic pictures and a great color! Enjoy your ride!

Whenever you wanna go to 7500 revs: it’s always better to build it up slowly. Whether you start this process from the beginning or after a 1000 miles. First 100 miles driving slow always makes sense. Don’t drive the same speed over a long period of time and don’t stay in the same gears to long. So constantly switching gears and revs whilst not crossing the rev-limit for that period. I think we can at least all agree on these points.

I don’t think this is a conflict at all. On the contrary. Green T package interior works best with white and silver. IGM is just a combination of those two colors and will therefore work beautiful. The contrast is there and can even add the interior in exterior color.

This was on my mind as well for a long time. Please return the old avatar @Wilder We need it. @The911Don did the same for us.
@Vernin Still in CA and starting a 2.5 week roadtrip on the 14th. Very much looking forward to it. Thanks for the compliments on the ST. That car should be done this summer. Can't wait! @Macboy Fully agree. The stripes are fire! If I didn't like Sportex so much, I'd get the stripes. Regarding the avatar, I can't go back, sorry. All I want to do is look at the new baby. It's even on my phone.
Wow - that’s 10 months from order to delivery. Got to be one of the longest I’ve heard of!
Did you order PTS?
Was not approved for PTS (I wanted Acid Green). I ended up with a equally polarizing Ruby Star Neo with Black/Racing Yellow stitching and a LOT of options... (many of them are Exclusive Manufacture) so I'm guessing that pushed it out a few times.

if you search Ice Grey Carrera T in YouTube you’ll see a short with that exact color combo. It looks great! I ended up doing the slate grey interior package because I didn’t want that much green but it was definitely stunning.
