Best 997 I've seen, Aftermarket looks from the dealer is the best way to describe it.
How does the "Paint to sample" Work. Are you limited to a more extensive color grid or can you litterally give them any paint color/code and have them match it ?

Thanks for all the positive feedback and comments guys! Seem's people like the colour!
I looked on the "order board" for all the cars that my Porsche dealer has on order - with a very few exceptions they are all either, grey, silver, or black - JEEZ get a life guys - buy what you WANT not what you think they next guy MIGHT want!
ONELOVE,
Paint to sample is as the name suggests - you give them a colour and they paint it to match! If they have painted a car before to your colour (as with mine - "Pure Orange" is an old 70's Porsche colour) then the process adds around four months to the build - IF on the other hand it's a totally new colour then they need to do tests to ensure colour fastness and that there won't be weird reactions to some of the plastics etc. - In this case it will add around nine months to the build!!

That orange and the black wheels are just a perfect combination! Car looks great! Congradulations! And if possible we would like to see pictures of here which arent in a dealership!

Love it!
I´ve had a thing for orange for many years, and the old classic 911-colors are cool. Viper Green is another favorite.
(But add some black spray to the inside of your wheels)
