Color is a personal preference. Going from a 997.1 TT to a TTS is not. The latter is a very noticeable improvement on every level. You will marvel at what the TTS can do.

I think I will go see it tomorrow to check it out in person. From what I've read, acid green is supposed to be similar to the green used on the 918.

I'd let that car sit until the end of the month, then try to save some green by working on the price. I cannot imagine there are too many folks out there wanting an acid green Porsche TT. That reality will also come into play when it comes time to trade the car in or sell it yourself for your 991 TT.

I still have on my bucket list a PTS, a bright color, and a factory delivery (hopefully all three at once). Before I settled on my TT, I had planned to order a 2010 GT3 and had planned to do PTS in Signal Red (a 356 color, see pic below of color, not my car), the same color I plan to paint my 356 one of these days. Brighter red and more orangeish than Guards. While I like the green in some ways, I think I'd much prefer red or blue.

Saw the car today in person. It is really as green as it is in the pictures. The color would be perfect on a GT3RS but tough to justify on a TT. Perfect car for anyone interested, could not find one blemish.

Exactly what I thought when I first saw the pictures. Too "trackish" for a non GT car IMO. Very unique, nonetheless.

Jelly bean colors are certainly popular on the GT3 RS, but it's a little out there on a TTS. It only takes one buyer and it's all a matter of personal taste. If you don't plan to resell it anytime soon and you don't mind a few whispers behind your back, go for it. On the positive side, your TT will be unique, unlike silver, white or black.....

Still love it, would have no reluctance purchasing!

What did interior look like? Any deviating lime green stitching on the leather seats, dash, etc.

Interior is nothing like the exterior. Just standard light gray deviated stitching, along with the carbon fiber accents.
