Can easily be remedied. The car would look great with the 7.1 graphics in black.

Even Santa would paint all the red black, which I'm sure he'll do.

is nothing sacred anymore?

in all fairness -- it could be company colors and that could be a "company car"

It's the Grinch's car????

I like orange and green
But only on .1 cars. Why paint .2 to resemble .1. It would be cheaper Nd easier just to
Buy a .1.

If I did PTS, it would be funky blue, or historical colors. That's just me as color is personal

Not a pretty combo.Black would of looked so much better.
+1

I'm with Mooty my PTS would probably be some kind of smurf blue, maybe a funky historic metallic smurf blue with black/silver accents.

I must admit it looks like Ronald McDonald's Porsche. I expect him to step out with his clown shoes on.

I'll bet that once this person saw the upcharge to paint the wheels, lips, mirrors, spoiler in black they decided to do it themselves afterwards. Porsche is upcharging an additiona $5,000 plus just to paint all these extra pieces black once you select PTS....nuts.

you would have to try REALLY hard to get a much uglier color combo IMO ... all it needs are the red decals to "finish" it off ...

honestly if I was the sales guy, I would have taken a REALLY BIG DEPOSIT when this beauty was ordered ... because that car is not selling to
anyone but the guy who ordered it!

Yikes Not good at all. If all the red bits were black - that would be a different story. Red, green and yellow - dont work IMO.

Bingo, that must be it, or he will once he lays his eyes on it.

That is exactly how this PTS car played out.
