I would do more than the front for track use... for example rocker pannels for debris from front wheels and rear bumper for debris from rear wheels and in front of rear wheels, etc. I just ended up doing the whole car

Oh... AWESOME color!!!

That looks so awesome! It's nice to see some 'non-traditional' PTS colours in action.

Happy you guys in general are supportive of this colour!

On the street I can't tell the difference in feel between my steels on my 991 turbo and the ceramics on the GT4 - but that's perhaps that I'm still breaking it in and can't feel any extra bite of the ceramics. Brakes look amazing though - not the yellow that does it for me - it's how big and over sized they are.

As for the LWB's , once you get in them they are quite comfortable - but getting in and out of them are a total PITA - pregnant wife HATES them but once the Bluetooth links to her iPhone and plays her tunes it's all forgotten.

We took the GT4 to do a grocery run this morning as the 991 had a flat - and we noticed that the frunk for the Cayman is actually quite bigger than a 991!

And Spent the rest of the day on this project:

Six hours later this is how far we got:

Love your color choice and if I could have PTS this would be a consideration - although after reading the comments about having a Tiffany blue box - I'd make my GT4 Tiffany blue and then I'd have BOTH (the car becomes the little blue box....get it?)

Will you be at the UCR Mosport club race/solo DE event in early August? I'm registered and went two years ago. Had a blast - it was well run and they were quite welcoming to us Americans (I went with another RL track friend). I hope you are there as I'd love to see your gorgeous car in person.

Enjoy for many kilometers in the best of health!! Spectacular!

Curious why we're talking about another colour on this thread other than mint green? Plenty of other more followed PTS colours threads that cross beyond the modest GT4

So clearly I'm just like all other guys on these threads obsessed with PTS vs the car - 3 days into buying a dream GT car I'm already looking into the next GT car I gotta PTS obsess about:

I always wanted crazy 997.2 gt3ts 4.0 car colours that I have never seen and I could never could afford like the following :

Toronto is full of salt, gravel, nails, etc downtown - even if temperature is fine - afraid to take gt4 out. Got a nail today in one of my winter tires on my 991 turbo - 20inch winter tires are clearly dumb based on what I went though today

And didn't realize the GT4 had 20s - wonder if I could ever move down a size with my PCCBs - they look pretty but if ever I less suck on a track perhaps a smaller size tire can come in handy once I track more?

Porsche Oakville didn't offer you the wheel and tire insurance?

Congrats on the GT4.

They did - I opted for the "appearance package" instead which covers wheel scuff marks as I share the car with my wife who just got a license 2 months ago

I had never gotten a nail before and now it's 2 in last 3 months.
