Moved down from Pa too. West Chester/Kennett Square area. Don’t want to have to ever be cold again or shovel any snow.

Hi, would you have more picture. I really like your configuration and would love to see more. Also the interior.

Silver is so common and boring. But I'm getting it!

After toying with Dolomite Silver, I've come back to what I wanted all along and switched my configuration to GT Silver with Sport-Tex leather interior on my 2022 Targa 4. The freeze date isn't for another month, but I'm confident that this build is the one I want: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNRE9FC2

Here are some shots from the configurator. I welcome any comments -- pro and con. Thanks.

Nice choice. I'm probably gonna go for the same combo color/rims but with the interior of the spoke paint in black.

I’ve heard members saying the dolomite is a “flatter” silver. Yes, I know it has blue undertones in it, but how does the metallic flake compare to GT silver. One of the configuration options I’m considering is dolomite or GT silver on a Targa 4S with a blue top and graphite blue interior with chalk stitching. It seems the GT silver pops more in good light, but I’m not sure it would work with the blue bits as it has a brown undertone.

I have driven and still drive a carbon black (Blue) BMW for 14 years. I wanted a change and love my GT silver. I love how understated it is but yet...

The dolomite silver is very nice. I've seen both in person. If you're thinking graphite blue interior, then dolomite is the way to go. GT has more earthy undertones, while dolomite has, as you've noted, a blue one. That combo with dolomite with the blue top would look amazing.

I like the unpainted exclusives with the silver car.

I agree. I toyed with both satin platinum wheel enhancement and none. I chose the latter. It looks better in my opinion.
