Grant, yellow is a good color. Very sporty and eye catching. If you want to dress down bland Porsche styling, just get the exterior in Silver. Silver is meh.

Good idea! I like flying under the radar (I wish I could literally- lots of radar tickets in the mountains here)

Looks pretty good, it's growing on me.
I just wish they'd updated the wheels for the facelift, I don't think any generation before has shared the wheels of the older generation car.

If you change to 5 lug hubs then you've solved that problem. 
You still gonna change hubs after 10000km's tracking so you might as well change them to 5 lugs when you get the car. That way you also saves money on not needing to change the CL's...

Me too. I've never been a fan of the 991 wheels. I much preferred the ones on the 997.2

I'd love a setup like this, it's still CL but on BBS 19's. Looks better and tires are cheaper.

Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
Porker:RC:Kobalt:^ Looks racing
Looks too much aftermarket...
Maybe because it is?
Something looking too much aftermarket isn't exactly something positive...
There are aftermarket parts which look good and "fit" the car but when they look too much aftermarket, well...
Of course you know that but you just enjoy rattling my cage, I get it.

Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
Well yes and no, I get your point of course. But you've got 'good' aftermarket, and 'bad' aftermarket.
BBS Motorsport wheels are quality products and serve the car an actual purpose, hence it's in the 'good' camp as far as I'm concerned.

Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
Agreed, they look brilliant but think they're 18", wouldn't work with the brakes. PCCB even requires 20" these days.

Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
Whoopsy:They are 18" aluminum Motorsport wheels. 5 lug for the Clubsport and centre lock for Cup cars.
Don't think they will clear the stock steel brakes though, much less PCCB.
Indeed, stock steel calipers are bigger, they require minimum 19", 20" for PCCB.

Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
RC,
I agree the new styling is a bit disjointed. All the new bumper lines are very sharp and small radiused. But Porsches all gave soft curves and the 991.1 styling matched that. For the 982 and 991.2 refreshes, Porsche is trying to add creases and sharp edges. Problem is that no Porsche has ever had these features.
I was in the process of putting together some photos to show this. 991.1 RS remains the best looking model despite the pronounced jaw front bumper.

My thoughts exactly.
Very enjoyable review, 911R vs 911 GT3 Manual:

Re: OFFICIAL: New 991.2 GT3
BjoernB:and for one lap probably
According to Whoopsy, it actually was pretty resilient on track (surprisingly the tires didn't melt with all that weight/speed).
