Default RS 2008 colors?

Anyone order a 2008 RS yet? I am supposed to go in this week, read on a previous Porsche bulletin that some 07 colors may be discontinued?

Did your dealer have a 2008 model year order guide? I did mine today but worked off an 07 order guide. I know there are some real minor changes but do not want to miss anything.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,
I ordered off an 07 order guide as the 08 wasn't yet available. The final price went up a bit when the order was re-adjusted for 08 prices. As you mention, I think there were a few minor options for 08 that I was not aware of for 08 at the time of order.

Mine is a July build. I called the dealer about a week ago to get an update and was told the car was near finished in production. I should have it by the end of the month.

Side skirts painted exterior color - XAJ

White with black wheels, decals and mirrors (doing mirrors after delivery, the computer wouldn't accept the option for deviated mirrors at the time of order).

Yes -- please post pictures when it arrives.

I've been keeping track of all the 997 RS on the below web site.

I list the cars by username unless I have the VIN.
Any info you'd like to share, I'd be happy to add.

Jon

I've got identical spec to you, also lined up for delivery 1st Set.

Mine's UK and my dealer had to battle hard to get decals etc. Thought my black door mirrors were factory spec..

Cheers

Will be happy to post pics when it arrives. PSC, are selling your black one? I initially went with black, then changed to white last minute.

Yes, will sell the black one.

Did you consider the all red tail lights. I've gone for this option but not aware of anyone else on this Board speccing it?
