My selfish motivation, is that one of you will order some sick color and I'll pick it up in a few years at a sweet deal! White is "Nice" but way too safe for me. How often do you get to pick the color of your car? How can you pass that up? Someday we'll all be driving white a Prius! Seize the day!

Someone requested red with black wheels, and sticker accents... I added the black wing tips, but kept the silver uprights to tie in with the silver stickers.

I also had a unique request for a '73 Chartreuse... very clean... vintage graphics, that wouldn't look like 997RS.1 or 2 etc. ('73 for color & graphic reference). Seeing it uploaded, my green is a hair too dark!

Real shame the black graphics are a no go for the 4.0

If you got time would be great if you could have the black wheels on the meteor...this is the one I have gone for.

Thanks

This should be close. Black wing tips, but silver uprights?

Looks awesome. Not sure u can have the tips painted in black though.

What happened to the client is king? They make u pay for silly options and when you are happy to pay for other extras they decline!

Someone requested GrayBlack with mexico wheels etc. Here are a couple options. I changed the gray-black for Slate gray; 3 reasons:
1: contrast is better (Gray black is too dark)
2: If doing a PTS why not be as unique as possible?
3: Why use a 3.8 color?

The same person is also looking at Mexico Blue as the PTS... The first image is a repost of an earlier version. I think I like the first one best.

It would also be easier, as the "Lipstick" will still be silver, so really, just paint the wing tips, and remake the red accent stickers/lettering in black. Would require a black interior, not two-tone red, and the red on the mirrors would have to go. I would do blue belts inside, and blue stitching on the seats only. Blue pull loops on the doors would be nice. Perhaps carbon or silver rear center console. Keep the alcantera wheel with the red center stripe.

One more Mexico... standard stickers and accents etc. Just Silver wheels.. Easy, and some red accents in the interior might be OK (not two-tone seats)
