Man the color choice on your old wheels is really working for me
OE Weissgold as @MKIVdan called. Works really well against Basalt with the gold and brown in the metallic mix.

Kind of a long story, and probably not a process I'd repeat, but BKLYN themselves were fine. The deal came together because my broker (who I originally bought the Basalt car from) wanted to buy my car back to send to BKLYN. Wound up with BKLYN buying direct from me, and in turn buying my Pumpkin from GP for purposes of running a pass through for tax credit. It was the dynamic between them as competing dealers for these cars that I didn't love. It's a very cutthroat landscape amongst the RFMs, GPs, Merits, etc. of the world. They all know each other, and are all vying for the same cars, and working to get them at wholesale. Just a layer of commercial complexity I didn't appreciate before this exercise, and one that I would probably have preferred to navigate myself. Nothing shady or anything like that. I just prefer more control over my transactions.

Lol. I actually only tracked this car ~3-4x. I had my dedicated track GT4 for most of the ownership period, so didn't have the urge until I sold that. But yeah, those rotors were near ready for replacement when I bought it, and new Girodiscs were on the short list moving forward. Plus I run super aggressive pads on everything - even for street use.
FAL button is always in the same place, correct? Beneath climate controls, to the right of the Sport button on the bottom left? This is how I'm scanning every ad, since the copy and included options are always so hit or miss.

Looks like Merit Partners just got a nice grey black 997.2 RS with only 5k miles and graphics delete. They just posted it on their IG. Who will be able to guess how much they’ll list it for?
belts should always match calipers. This was properly specced.
It’s probably just my OCD, but I’ve always liked the seat belts to match the door pulls. Unfortunately they never made yellow 997/987 door pulls only red, black, or silver. You would have to custom make a set or use 964/993 pulls which aren’t exactly the same.

Based on what they’ve been asking for others I suspect the price to start with a 4.
