I just received an email last Thursday (7.28) from Porsche stating my RS was just assigned a vin.
WP0AC2A90BS783252
It's been six (6) months since I placed the order ....... just to get my P.T.S choice.
Can anyone tell me the usual wait time to production once the VIN has been assigned ?

That's interesting, I picked up my new 2011 GT3 in July, it landed in Canada the first week of July 2010.

Having a VIN does not mean completed...your dealer can tell what stage of production by following the codes as he will be able to track it now....Once complete it will take 3-4 weeks till you have it .....Good luck

Black wheels, mirrors, end plates
Graphic delete
Stereo delete
But you knew this already, Cole

Is that a computer rendering or an actual car?
It has black exhaust tips -- or so it seems.
And does decal delete not also delete the checkers? (That's why I assume it's just a mock-up.)

CGT,
Last year, I ran across this photo on some site (maybe this site?) and I think that it was a mock-up BUT it was convincing enough that I was hooked.
I've always been a huge fan of Porsches vast selection of "Blues" over the decades ...... 117 choices I'm told !
I was torn between;
Bali Blue (one of my '65 colors) slightly dark for this application
Oxford-Dalmation Blue (my '73RS #1583) too close to the stock '10 color
Mexico Blue ( Too third world sounding and too controversial topic at the moment)
Bahama Blue (very close to Riviera)
Riviera √
I'm told that it will be the only Riv-Blue RS in the U.S.A but who knows.
I know that there is a '10 GT3 in Riviera because the owner posted some photos on RL.

Now this particular RS you're building; that is something I can appreciate! Unlike my humble white/red one (easily lost in any parking lot around here ... the neighbors have one just to carry bales of hay to their quarter horses ... : ) Much as I prefer white, especially when silver was "the" color ... now white has become the color. What's a contrarian to do?! : ) Polar Silver Metallic? Too blue?
Well, congratulations on the car. If you're anywhere near Silicon Valley, we can get the Riviera and Mexico cars here for another "Blue Horseshoe loves Anacott Steel" gathering.

CGT,
It is ironic that you seem to second guess your White/Red combo. Of all '10-'11 RS standard colors, White/Red was my only choice and I almost chose that route as I was too anxious (briefly) to wait for my PTS.
When purchasing my '07 & '08 RS, I almost ordered White/Red PTS but refused to pay thousands extra for friggin refrigerator white ! ! !
My affection and reasoning for White was the fact that in past decades (late 60s >) 'White' has usually been the factory race color (silver in the 50s & early 60s) and most '73-'74 RSR were white and I think that the "07,'08,'10,'11 RS is every bit the "new" icon that the '73 RS,RSR has been and therefore white/red is a very fitting tribute to Porsches racing heritage.
