Question Help me choose, Arctic Gray vs Crayon, Red or Black Calipars

Hello... I got an allocation for the 992 GTS and I have to finalize the build in 3 Days! I'm lost between the color selection:
Option 1: Arctic Gray with Black Calipers, Yellow Seat Belts, and Yellow Gauges
Option 2: Crayon with Black Calipers, Yellow Seat Belts, and Yellow Gauges
Option 3: Arctic Gray with Red Calipers, Red Belts, and Red Gauges
Option 4: Crayon with Red Calipers, Red Belts, and Red Gauges

What do you think?

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

Option 4

Congrats on the allocation! I’m currently working on my build for a TT. Good luck.

I prefer the look with the red calipers. So my vote would be Arctic with red. And Crayon/red as number 2.
I’m not sure if you are thinking of doing the Exclusive Design taillights, but if you do the red calipers, it might look better if you save the $1k and leave the red taillights.

Thank you...

With the GTS the Exclusive Design taillights are part of the exterior package, even if I deselect them they stay blacked out.

Sorry about that. GTS is one of the few models that I haven’t played with much (I knew I wasn’t going to land an allocation in the US without paying ADM last year).

Try with the dealer now, I got my allocation because lot of people dropped out now that the 992.2 is coming, and the news is it will be an N/A.

My Turbo arrives in October so I’m just biding my time until it is built.

I think both artic grey and chalk look great with yellow and red. You should go see both colors in person. They both can change depending on lighting. Artic can have a lot of blue undertones. Personally I like colored calipers and matching color themes. So if you are going with steels then match everything in red accents and calipers. If you want to choose ceramics then match in yellow would be my preference. I feel Black calipers just don’t stand out. Here’s a pic of my tts in arctic.

Black calipers with the hi gloss window trim. Looks classy.

Of those I would opt for #4 as well.

I wouldn’t do yellow belts if I hadn’t ordered PCCBs, but that’s just me. If I did order PCCBs, then I would leave calipers yellow and then add the yellow bits in the interior.
My current Targa has steel brakes with black calipers because I didn’t want red calipers with Gentian.

Did you consider red interior with black calipers, seat belts, and red gages with either color.

Where did you hear that the 992.2 will be NA?

[QUOTE=melhechi;19432145]Hello... I got an allocation for the 992 GTS and I have to finalize the build in 3 Days! I'm lost between the color selection:
Option 1: Arctic Gray with Black Calipers, Yellow Seat Belts, and Yellow Gauges
Option 2: Crayon with Black Calipers, Yellow Seat Belts, and Yellow Gauges
Option 3: Arctic Gray with Red Calipers, Red Belts, and Red Gauges
Option 4: Crayon with Red Calipers, Red Belts, and Red Gauges

What do you think?

It’s really such a har decision to make… I’ve been playing around on the configurator. I think Arctic Grey looks best with chalk interior and chalk gauges. Obviously light seats is a huge change from what you’re looking at. Even with black interior I think I like Arctic best with chalk accents. LOVE the black brake calipers with art I grey though.

chalk with black interior and red calipers / gauges are always good option.

I agree that with yellow accents, I would only do that if I optioned the yellow PCCB’s.

chalk with black interior / red gauges/ calipers would be my vote.
