Congrats. That should look great!

There is an owner on this board who has a very similar spec. If you search around on here you should be able to find some photos as a preview.

Trees are green and brown. If it’s good enough for nature…

The factory built Ferry Porsche a new 911 every year. When asked what 911 he wanted every year, he reportedly replied “Any color so long as it is green and any interior so long as it is brown”. You are in good company.

I liked how the side decal tied in the autum color. Send me your build code and I'll see how close we are.

Either way you have excellent taste.

I don't have data, but based on social media presence and Rennlist, I'd say the greens are by far the most popular PTS color for this generation.

Funny story. My spec on both of them, went to the first dealer, placed an order and reached out a couple weeks later with a few questions. No reply, reached out via phone & email & text for weeks with zero response. Got so fed up with the dealer that I cancelled my order and moved on to another that was recommended by someone from the forum.

The experience with the next dealer was amazing, and they even offered me a slight discount which I took and spent by adding rear wheel steer.

Fast forward 7 months and the original dealer calls me back and offers to sell me my original car, I asked if it was at msrp and he said no, I asked how much and he said I should come in and talk about it. He said they liked the spec so much that they kept my order in the system.

I said that I found a dealer with great communication that kept me in the loop throughout the process and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. He never replied to that text and I'm not sure how much it actually sold for, I would be curious to know if it stayed in the Bay Area.

So that car is identical to mine except I have rear steer, and I paid 3k under sticker.

If the poster shows me a build code happy to see just how close the specs are, even though it's not a 1 of a kind I've been super happy with the car and love the color combo, I get comments from people often who aren't car people who love the color. My best thus far is in traffic one afternoon a guy pulls up 2 lanes over and yells "Dude I hate cars but I Love that car". That was a new one that I hadn't heard before or since.

You may get some on the forum who say it's not a Porsche color and more of a Jag color but for me that wasn't a concern.

If you want to see a walkthrough there is another example out of Florida, if you search BRG 992 on YouTube you should find it quickly, it's this video that made me settle on BRG in the first place and I've had zero regrets. I copied a lot of this build but changed up a few things.

Cheers
