I have been told you can get any color now for an up charge of $3k-5,500.

There is one with red accents. GT silver doesn't look so good on the RS to me.

GT Silver looks good on all P-cars.
Especial the GT3's & RS
Red would suck to clean.
I'm in the same boat, grey with gold color looks mean to me.

We have a grey with red coming here next month and the dealer is discounting huge for me because I just sold them my 07 gt3 in GT silver......What to do?

Remains to be seen. Grey/black is lighter in color than the name implies, almost a battleship grey. Its also a non metallic paint despite its apparant ability to change shade with lighting. I don't think it will be as forgiving as white or silver, but will certainly be easier to care for than black or one of the darker greys. My $.02

I flip flopped and am now back on gray/black with gold. Honestly, I think both white gold and gray gold look awesome.

I'm on the other side of the mountain from you. So that's your '07 GT3 at the dealer? The dealer has it priced way over market IMHO. Need to keep a look out for that RS coming, didn't know the local dealer was getting one. The grey/red is my favorite combo. If they're giving you a huge discount, I'd go for it if in your shoes.

no no no.
i was talking about DUST.
if by road debris, you are talking about chips and nicks, you will see it less on silver or white and stick out like sore thumb on dark colors
