I'm still looking forward to seeing exactly how that top is fitted to the rear attachment points.

Yes IMO.

I wouldn't take the car on the right if it was free........ other than to sell it. The silver on the left looks all Porsche. JMO

LOL... It's all opinion and mine is the opposite... I love the white, thus why I'm ordering one. Now I don't like the one in your picture... The gloss black wheels don't look good in my opinion.

Cayman, I am with you. White with silver wheels look great, and black wheels doesn't do it!

James, I have never been a fan of GR but ever since 997.2 GT3 was featured in that colour, my mind has changed on that colour - and it looks great on the Spyder! GR has a tinge of orange though which is why in photos it sometimes comes up a bit orangy, unlike the Ferrari red which is deeper.

White with Red full leather interior, silver wheels is the best color in my opinion. Then Silver/Red. I am just not diggin the Guards Red.

I wonder why so many people appear to have ordered the Alcantara Pkg but not the extended alcantara (door handle and door inserts) and alcantara centre arm rest.

I ordered all the Alcantara except for the center armrest. I didn't order that because I do not like the P O R S C H E embossed on the lid...I wanted it plain which is available, but not from the factory...

Any thoughts on the Aqua Blue with white side stripe and black interior? Don't see many blue ones, maybe for a good reason.

Ok fair enough. I, on the other hand, want only alcantara on the steering wheel (and maybe gear ****), so I have not ordered the alcantara package. Will have to buy those parts later I think. But I like alcantara on the door and the centre console storage cover.

I'm confused
You do realize that the alcantara package is just the steering wheel, shifter and e-brake handle. The doors and door handles are another option and the storage lid an other... So to get everything alcantara you would have to spec three different options.
