FWIW, I thought long and hard regarding first LED's and second black xenon and concluded both would not fit a white GT3. I will rarely if ever drive my GT3 at night so quality of lighting would not be an issue. Also, I determined like Macca, that with LED's the front end looks longer upsetting the styling of the car.
The black Porsche headlights on a white exterior make the car look Pandish. Would not work at least for me. However, all white taillights could work and I am still debating the issue. On the configurator they look great. I suppose I could always put them on after delivery if I am so inclined.

RC,
Is there some kind of delay on the Turbo / Turbo S too ? Talked to one of the salesman and he told me the turbo has been pushed back with the GT3, what's the story ?
When I got an update from my dealer he told me the 991 Turbo(S) is also delayed. Unfortunately he did not have more details why.
What's happening with Porsche? Has this happened before?

I think this really is a matter of taste. You should order what YOU like, not what other people like, unless those other people are paying for it ;)
All three exterior colors you mention look good on the 991. The difference between those two silver colors is that Rhodium has a blue hue, where GT-silver is slightly darker, has more color depth and has no blue hue.
Same goes for the interior, although that also depends on the exterior color IMO? Espresso doesn't suit the Rhodium very well, so that would be a better combination with Black-Red. GT-silver and white look very good with Espresso and Espresso-Cognac.
10 different people will give you 10 different opinions and in the end it is still you that needs to decide what you like most. Best advice is to go to a dealership or dealerships where you can see the various options in person. There is nothing more personal than taste and preference.

It's my evil twin! Hahaha
No just kidding...it's me. Would be a little pointless to use someone else's picture, wouldn't it ?
I am going to say this with a lot of respect and with no intentions of making you feel uncomfortable, but a girl that knows so much about cars and that looks the way you do... Well you may be perfect... The person next to you must be very lucky! Cheers!

She's (Suzy) a walking Porsche encyclopedia & has helped many on 6 Speed & Rennlist with their builds.
When in doubt about configurations - ask her without regret.
Thank you guys! ;) Not too much praise please. i'm nothing more than just another Porsche enthusiast, like so many people here.
@Batista_80:
GT-silver is a beautiful color, with different nuances in different lighting. The paint is more expensive, but it also looks more expensive in some way. It really has a lot of depth.
Which would I prefer? From these three colors you mention, I would probably go for GT-silver. Rhodium is very nice, but many, many people are ordering this color right now (if I'm correctly informed, it seems to be the new black), so the GT-silver is more special and also looks that way. But you can't really go wrong with either of the three.

GT Silver is my favourite silver ever offered by Porsche. It has no strong undertones, that dilute the silver effect.
It is quite pure silver in sunlight. When in the shade or when it gets dark, the grey undertones are more apparent but it is still a silver.

....whereas I'd go Basalt Black. To my eye the Turbo and Turbo S more so) is a bit bling. A bit chintzy. I'm not a fan of the diamond cut wheels (hated these on 997 TT almost as much as the carrera S lobster wheels) and the front lip just looks too much compared to the simple lines of the standard car. I actually prefer the rear of the C4S to the Turbo.
Black tones this all down and presents an impression of menace. If you must go for a brown interior, the slight gold flecks in the paint will harmonize well IMO.
