has this been covered already.. the leather interior door sills are gone.. this is really sad.. was a beautiful finishing piece which really makes the interior.
also the leather stitched vent surrounds are gone, despite showing up in the configurator.. ARGH! beautiful stuff.

'Concrete' blue, as my dealership refers to it. Perfect example of a 'meh' color that people go gaga over just because it's different. Anyone thinking of this color, should definitely go see it in real life and make sure they like it. I did not care for it, particularly in direct sunlight. Seemed to show fine scratches badly as well.
My primary reason for it was the colour. I wanted the beige leather to match the bottom of the doors and the carpet rather than having the black there since at the time I couldn't order deviated carpets in black.
Now that I've got Weathertech floor liners covering most of the floor pan, it's completely a non-issue.
I never thought of it as the sort of option people would look back on with fondness if it were taken away.

As this turns into a bitch session about Porsche's standard color palette...
It is rather unfortunate that they don't offer a better gray and green, can't complain about the blue.
They definitely restrict standard colors to enhance their crazy PTS program. Chalk, crayon, really?!
Colors, however, are a bit overrated if you ask me. Hard to beat the traditional black, white or silver! (And the first two are free).

Porsche had half their lineup in this colour at the 2016 auto show in Detroit. That was the first time I'd seen it and all I could think was that Porsche had made a colossal mistake. To me, it looks like glossy primer. Yeah, it's different. That's really all it's got going for it in my book.

For those who care, I'm sure Exclusive Option will sell you snap-on leather covered sills, valve caps, exhaust tips, etc. With contrast stitching too.

However, there are certain colors which may be worth the PTS premium.
-any green obviously BC there is nothing similar.
-most blues BC miami is a **** color and graphite blue is beautiful in itself but not really a blue. So PTS Mexico/riviera/voodoo/Meissen/gulf/golf/midnight blue.. all worthwhile.
-yellows.. damn If signal yellow weren't far enough away from the current nasty fluorescent version.. signal is probably worth it, actually goes very well with red brake calipers, NOT pccb yellow at all. In fact red interior stitch with red brakes and signal yellow is gorgeous.
-any grey.. having spent a lot of time with a sport classic grey car last week; I can say it's fantastic.. who knew?
-silvers?... not in my mind. In fact gt silver is such an amazing depth, and if you want to go crazy, get a satin PFF over it and it's simply show car special.. spending any $ on some of the liquid metal craziness just isn't worth it.. then again if you are buying a $65k color we have a different sense of normal anyway.
-whites?- I just don't get it. Now that we have carrera/Carrara and regular white for free, and chalk.. any other ivory or similar just doesn't make sense. In fact, regular white with black details is "PTS" in my mind.. like a white RS.. omg, absolutely gorgeous.
I'm probably saying something which is quite obvious, hopefully not repetitive. Just thinking ahead to PTS hopefully and wondering what's really worth it?
I'm thinking jet black with black wheels with red pinstripe and red brakes with contrast red sittiching and every interior leather option is actually the most beautiful combo I can imagine at the moment. Spend the $$$ on condom wrapping so you stay swirl and chip-free, and all of a sudden you have the perfect non-PTS car with a huge sense of occasion. Because nothing but nothing beats a perfectly clean jet black 911 with a wing... I learned this from a movie I watched as a kid which first made me fall in love with Porsche's... Condorman
