You definitely won't like my combination... Also, I'm over 50, but young at heart. For me, this is my 1st Porsche, plan for it to be my last, but hope that there's more in the future. Go Bold or go Home!. 😉

go big or go home! I love it! I love the variation and personalities this group has. And it shows in their car builds. Well done sir.

Right on boys! I’m in the over 50+ club, first Porsche, ordered conservatively , GT Silver with Sport Tex inserts black interior with silver interior trim is all as far as I could go. Even left in the back seats. LOL. But I get to live vicariously through you guys at my local Porsche cars & coffee meet ups. 👍

Real grownups spend their money however they like and don't worry too much about what their choices in colors appear to project to others. It's children who are concerned about their text bubble colors and Stanley sippy cup colors. That's my subjective perspective.

It's not what I would do but I think it works. Not in the traditional "safe" sense, but it's not far out outrageous either. I know you placed the matching interior trim in just to see the pairing but if you went with gloss black trim, I think it pulls it off pretty well. It won't be common, that's for sure. It's a fun car, go ahead and have fun with spec'ing are my words of encouragement.

Agree. Get what YOU like, not what you think impacts how others might perceive you. I mean, you're already buying a 911, and there' already some public perception and stigma that comes along with it as no-cost standard equipment... so who cares?! Get what makes you happy.

Actually I disagree. Gloss black will provide an outlet with many many hours of cleaning and polishing to get it just right, which could be very satisfying for those with OCD.

As someone else w/ a Ruby Star and Ruby Star trim interior car on the way, this begs the question; what if one is already childish, loud and immature? Asking for a friend...

... and more importantly, it feels like childish is the way to go... If this is an indication

Looks like I shook a beehive of colorful stitching enthusiasts. Honey goes to VW gross margin in any case for your custom stitch colors. LOL.

Of course, cars like 911 should be spec'ed according to your own liking if you are doing build-to- order. Who cares what I think or what anyone else thinks of your car's colors and etc.? At the end of the day, I am for all 911 specs, even if they look like McDonalds.

Wish I could take credit but it's my GF who took the pic. I had to back up so the door could clear the sidewalk and she could get in.

We've covered many cool places in California and the standouts remain Santa Barbara and Laguna Beach.

First pics of the second car. Not using the TYD app has been sublime. I don't care where the car is in the production process or when it arrives, so long as it does.
