All the goodies I got were obtained while my order was still "flexible". It now appears that no more flexibility is available for the remaining CGT build-out for the USA.

Might still have a chance...
Hey Arling,
It might still be possible...but u better act fast. As of Monday, our CGT was still listed as changeable in the computer and our production date is June. Don't know if that was a glitch or what not. However, Ben and Mike should be right as all US orders had to be confirmed by the end of February per a Porsche bulletin. Hey, but if you really want a white CGT, won't hurt to head on down to your dealership and try.
Cheers,
-Nick

Nick,
i think i'm pretty good in color & hardly make mistake. even though i think it's for sure going to be hot but i'm not gonna take the chance on a 450k car due the white is not easy to take care of.
just a wild thought... i really want to see one!

booo, can't you do custom colors (lambo/ferarri, etc) Doesn't lambo make a pearl white?
I think that yellow/orange lambo pearl make look good as well

WOW...
AWESOME Photoshop job Bumble. White looks great.
HotRod...yeah, custom colors are possible. $15,500 and approval from Porsche. It sucks...even internal Porsche colors NOT classified as standard on the CGT will set you back $15,500 and considered as "paint to sample." Quite a rip off.

So Arling still might be able to find something with a production date of July and change it.-Nick

Yup...right Ben. Just figured if Arling really wanted something, he should give it a try. As of Monday, our order was still changeable although per the bulletin and logic, it shouldn't be. So Arling still might be able to find something with a production date of July and change it.
