Correct, just the standard slate/chalk interior. No deviated seat centers.

I'm curious how Slate/Chalk would look with GT Silver as well. I am concerned about the lack of contrast between exterior and interior. Anyone have pictures? I'm leaning towards Gentian because of this since I think it matches well with Slate/Chalk. but would really prefer GT silver.

Thanks!

Correct on the sheen; it is satin. The color is not black, it is 'Satin Platinum' with a machined lip.

Is this RS Spyder wheel color standard or an option? I ordered the RS wheels and hope this color is standard.

Loving it! Not sure I have seen that option available for the GTS. Its a shame that they limit the wheel options so much. I would think that, at any given trim level, you would have the option for any of the wheels available at that trim level and any "lower" trim level. I am waiting (and waiting and waiting) on a Targa GTS allocation. I do really like the RS wheels, but I like the Carrera Classic wheels better. I can't spec it that way on the configurator (even though it is a less expensive option). I guess if I ever get an allocation, I will work with the SA to see if that can be optioned.

Yes, the 992 RS Spyder wheel only comes as shown.

I am in the process of having them refinished as we speak. I will have them back next Tuesday (from Wheel Enhancement here in Los Angeles) and I'll post a few pics once they're back on the car.

I decided to strip the factory paint (as I prefer lighter colored wheels), brush the alloy, and have a slightly tinted clearcoat applied over the brushed alloy.

Actually, according to the configurator the RS wheel is Platinum on Carreras and black on GTS cars. No option. I send my sa an email inquiring but will probably have to have them refinished. How much $ for the refinish?

$450 per wheel and two weeks working time. They do give you a loaner set of wheels/tires (I got 991.1 20's) to use while the wheels are being refinished.

Man..... the silver is so nice looking on the 992. I came into battle wanting black and there was no steering me from it. Now, i'm leaning silver the last few weeks. Ugh.

Just fyi - on my 992TTS, I think gt silver (which i preferred to dolomite) looks very nice with its graphite blue interior (speed blue deviated seat centers).

Yes, didn’t like the look of the side skirts. Was on the fence about the Sport Design front bumper. Ultimately Im glad I optioned it but would likely just go with the standard front and Sport Design rear if I would have chosen a darker color.

Im not super happy with the license plate mount on the rear sport design bumper but like it much more than the standard rear bumper. It would look much cleaner with just the license plate but Im not brave enough to try to remove it.
