Guy...I agree on the unpainted black lip around the wheel, I don't like that look, I blacked out mine completely...it's all a matter of preference I guess..Like I said before, I'm not a big fan of red, but the red GT2 at Rennsport was very nice (especially if it would have had black wheels ....

930...You already have a black GT2...go yellow, go yellow,

930....I think it looks sweet...Black wheels and black side mirrors would make it look meaner...Yeah I see you already have a yellow GT3, but you already have a black RS and black GT2, so you need to even it out and add another yellow...lol..I gotta admit, you've got one awesome stable to choose from..

yeah your stable is quite nice there 930. I like the front, sides, and top of the gt2, but that overly serrated rear gill thing in the rear of the car on the bumper needs to be a dark color- I would do it black with the yellow insides...the bumblebee combos are awesome.

obviously the cars come with yellow pccbs as is- but in regards to the inside- I wouldn't worry AT ALL about the stitching getting grimy. The yellow stitching in lamborghinis seems to hold up pretty well for the disco crowd- and they're probably a lot slimier than the porsche crowd overall.

these decisions...it's nice to be able to make them isn't it?

I really, really like the yellow on the GT2; I would go with that personally.

I also like matching the caliper color with the belts (I did this with my red calipers), but I have found that I do not like the yellow belts. They look cheap to me, and I am not sure why. It seems like the shade of yellow on the belts is a bit too bright and just does not look right.

As for the yellow stiching......not sure about that either. I have seen a 996 C4S in yellow with an aero kit (I think it was the aero kit). It had black interior and the yellow belts and full leather with all of the stitching done in yellow. It was just way too much.

I also would choose the natural grey interior with the yellow so as to avoid the bumble bee look. The natural grey is close to black anyway, but is not so dark as to give it the bumble bee look. I think that the alcantara in the GT3 is a dark grey sometimes; maybe it is. I guess if you don't bring the yellow into the cabin with the contrasting black and yellow, then I like it with black.

I wonder how yellow exterior with black interior and silver belts and stitching would look? That might be interesting and work well.
