I've been considering that as well. Gray belts seem very T. The Shark Blue belts would be too off for my Gentian Blue build.

I had it on my 991.2 with the T package. GT Silver exterior paint, GT Silver interior package (Silver striped seats and silver seat belts). Looked awesome. I don't think I'll do it on the 992 T since there isn't anything else matched to it, but it would look good either way.

I think Ruby Star Neo is pretty close to the PTS Ruby Star?
Cool Video!

I've been looking at all the Rubystar builds out there, but haven't seen this before... I do, however, think that the NEO is going to be darker (as they claim) and that excites me... but if it comes out looking just like PTS rubystar I will also be very happy

I'm a ride or die at this point for Rubystar Neo, and most of this comes down to the following single line of text on a configurator:



BUT like Ive said, I love traditional Rubystar, so Nothing will make me unhappy!

Rubystar -whether neo or not- seems like a “gals” color. But Porsche did not finish the look by offering a pink style interior - to match. Porsche people seem intent on getting T buyers to select Python green a lot. They could have at least offered a Shark blue T interior or a red T interior.

I really dont care if people see Rubystar as a "gals" color... Its a historic Porsche color, and the truth is I had never seen a girl drive one before that video that was posted earlier... These cars are supposed to be fun and vibrant... and Ultra Violet + Rubystar + any dark green Porsche have always been on my bucket list.
Since PTS isnt available, my dream Ultraviolet spec or Porsche Racing Green spec will just have to wait until I move up to a GT product someday.
In the meantime, perfectly comfortable with my masculinity enough to rock the NEO

Yes to the greens. If I could have done PTS I would have, and the T would be locked in with Auratium Green, which I think is just the best color green for a Porsche yet.

I always say 'You do you!'. I know it's not really pink (maybe a pink/purple mix). Not sure you know the history of pink being a girl color. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/12/healt...der/index.html

You made a killer choice. Lots of newbs and casuals don’t understand the color’s history. They see a pink-ish color and just make “internet comments”.

Very interesting read! The only thing that I remember about color is a conversation I had in Business school with a professor... this graphic from a Harvard Business School Case about Branding based on colors... thought it was interesting what they aligned with. Guess I fall right between "Youthful Bold" and "Imaginative wise" on the color wheel
