But it's impossible to upgrade to PCCB after the fact if it does turn out to be great.

I am sure there will be no shortage of buyers for a used PCCB set if need be.

Our first GT3 is a June build.

Arctic Silver
Black Leather
PCCB
Xenon
AC
Headrest crests
Cruise Control
Thicker Steering Wheel Rim
Floor Mats

Now, if I had spec'd this out instead of the customer, I would have chosen a colour a little ore exciting than Silver with Black. No disrespect to the people who like it, but at this delaership roughly 60% of all of the cars we order are Silver. I'm sick to death of it. I would have gone with Speed Yellow or Guards Red.

My thoughts exactly; a GT3 in some dull off-grey colour is gonna look like just another boring 996 with AeroKitII. Again, each to his own - respect.

I think the GT3 looks best in Speed Yellow, because that colour creates a kind of silhouette of that classic 911 shape.

...I'd be happy with any colour.

Yellow does look great. You have probably seen these videos but in case you have not, check them out. The "lap at Leipzig" is my favorite. <a href="http://www2.uk.porsche.com/english/gbr/911/gt3/experience/movies/default.htm" target="_blank">Yellow GT3 Videos</a>

Way to go beaver!
(US guys can't get the clubsport but I'd order roll cage, seats etc. at the same time with the car).

I agree about the color, speed yellow, Guards Red or something else, IMO are the only colors for this kind of car.

Finn, those options (Clubsport, cage, nomex seats, batt cut-off) aren't available in USA (need to get them aftermarket)...
