@Macboy@toph4242 man, this pictures are making me give yellow a second look over green. The checkered inserts look great in black. I thought they might be the gray/black ones that look more plain. What to do, what to do...
Yellow Yellow Yellow Lol.... Yellow and paint your calipers yellow and go stealth black wrap on the exterior. that would be my vote for yours

I won't say my changes are final but I did change the interior from lizard green T package to leather with SPEED yellow stitching and added the leather steering column option. I think speed will look much better than racing. While I was in there, I deleted RAS again.
Having a 992 GTS in base white with black matte details (front lip, side skirt, rear bumper and sport exhaust) plus exclusive taillights it is easy for me to agree with your color choice. You can find some pictures here white 992 GTS photo album I think base white suits the T proposition as it looks really sporty. Enjoy it!
I've seen pictures of your white GTS, and it is beautiful. Do you have the black matrix headlights?
@Macboy is MVP of this thread! The details on that car are amazing. The deviated stitching (in the US) is $3650 USD, and it looks amazing. UGH, if only Bose could become an option on the 992 T, I could deselect Burmester and free up the budget for deviated stitching in Speed Blue to match my Shark Blue exterior.
I am spec'ing FAL, so I'm happy that the PSE button will be there.

I wonder about the warranty, in that case? Does Porsche AG honor warranties across EU regardless of which Porsche Centrum / OPC you purchase from? In the US, I am fairly confident that PCNA would deny anyone with a non-US car trying to make a warranty claim.

Guys...I know this is a Carrera T thread, but really struggling if I should go with a T vs. a 718 GTS 4.0. On one hand the N/A engine is very appealing, the other is obviously a 911. To save y'all from a new comparison thread, anyone here with the same internal debate?
I know the classic response of if you want a canyon carver do 718 GTS and T being more of a grand tourer. Just looking for a healthy discussion and one's though process.

For me, it was between a 981 GT4 or a 991.2T. I could walk you through my extensive thought process but I'll save you the trouble and summarize it for you: it came down to "do I want a rear-bias 911 or do I want a mid engine Porsche?" As incredible of a car as the Cayman is, it will never be a 911 and that's what I want.
Thanks for your thoughts @avid ! I guess I should have have added some additional context...I have a 718 GT4 and a PDK Targa. My reasoning for adding:
718 GTS Boxster - full convertible experience and a much more roadtrip friendly ride with that glorious N/A 992 T - One thing I miss on the 911 is the manual transmission, the Targa serves a particular purpose as a true grand tourer. Also allows my family who do not drive manual to enjoy. The T, is 100% for me and more focused on the driving experience
So alas, not a straight cut decision as wanting mid vs. rear engine experience. Also some may ask why stick with Porsche? Because I love their vehicles and it makes me happy

Tougher call in that case. I would give serious thought to how you're going to use the car and the climate where you live. I'm searching for a 987.2 Spyder so that should tell you where I stand on those cars, but only in addition to a 911. Why do you feel you need another car? Is it just that you share the others and this one is for you only? Do you track the GT4? How often do you use the Targa?
Thanks for the attention to detail, capturing all angles etc...
I just thought of an important detail that I completely missed: if the steering column is electrical or mechanical. Shooot. Pretty important for me actually as my wife has a different memory position for steering wheel and seats.

I can’t wait for my GR to arrive as well. Man should be here last week originally. I have it with black stitching so chose not to pop it all out on the interior. But I have that backside of the seats to compensate for it. Will be curious to see our differences.

Its pretty cheap actually for Porsche standards. As well as the colored seatbelts. And understand you about the colored tacho. It’s not everyone’s style I get that.

I just want to say that seeing the car in real life was UNBELIEVABLE ! Cannot compare this with viewing the pictures. Both inside and out.

Well if you put it like that I must admit I can only agree with you. Did we all made this fuss for nothing if you come to think of it like that? Still let me have my button. To be honest I have never ever used it in my 4S because of using the sport button on the steering wheel. Can’t stop thinking myself being a fool for this actually

Yes these are the standard ones in standard 992 T color. They are just perfect to me in real life. I cannot explain how much I like ‘em! Impressed by all the agathe grey details. Also the engine compartment lid slat inlays although it’s hard to see. The match with the titanium wheels is just perfect.
A 992 T only special these. Usually only black or in color of the exterior. Never like this with it’s own deviated color!
