I think Gentian Blue was a nice second choice. Are those the Zunsport grills in your bumper? I am debating add those since my buddy was the victim of a rock to the radiator a few years ago to the tune of like $2k to replace the radiator on his 911. Did you install them or did Beachwood?

Thank you and would be great to catch up live.

I installed the grill guards once it was delivered. Did that, my mirror tap and uniden install, clear markers up front, tint on the red rear reflectors, etc. I looked at the RGS and Zunsports. I liked how the ZS installed and were a bit thicker grills. Took about 15 minutes to install and fit great. I preferred the install over the RGS ones (or whatever the others are called). and look good too!

My first thought was, he got another black one? This is PTS?

Quite dark on the interior shots.

It’s stunning in person. Porsche has had some great colors over the years and this is one of them.

I like the look of the quad exhaust better, and I did the exhaust mod (again - did it on my last 2) - where it goes into PSE mode when in sport/sport+. 80% of the sound of the true PSE for free..

Since this is my daily and I have the GT3T and 720s - both are loud (loud enough), I enjoy my sewing machine sound in this one :-)

This is definitely a color, if you want green looking all the time (think Oak Green Metallic) which I considered as my 1st choice when I was thinking of PTS colors... This Dark Olive looks like liquid (hard to explain) black or charcoal in the dark, partially cloudy, or anything but direct sun/light. Only in brighter conditions do you see the metallic green. Many we have seen on PTS 911s recently did the oak green, so I decided to do something different. And about 80% of my 911s have been black over the years, I figured I would not get tired of this shade of green, since it looks black/dark grey 80% of the time :-)

Congrats! Dark Olive Green and Superior Red Metallic are my favorite colours by far. I guess I also love really dark cars
