    Fly yellow or Pearl yellow?????

    I'm about to order a 997TTCab and don't currently like the Speed Yellow (it seems way to dull to me.) Does anyone know of any paint to sample 997's with pics out there? Specifically with Ferrari's current yellow (I think "Fly Yellow") or Lambo's Pearle Yellow???? Would love to see some pics or even better get some feedback on what anyone thinks....THANKS!!

    i totally agree, speed yellow appears dull. i'm sure every one has an opinion as to the fly yellow formulation. why not just go with whatever the current f-car yellow is. it looks great imo. fly yellow will be like 57 corvette venetian red. it's either right or wrong. no leeway.

    Are you sure that you're about to order a cab? As far as I know, Porsche isn't anywhere near allowing orders to be taken for that! Or maybe it's just your dealership that's taking your order this far ahead of time.

    Here's Signal yellow


    Signal vs Speed yellow (the sample sheet on the hood is Fayence yellow)

    Yes, I'm aware that orders aren't being taken yet. I'm one of the 1st in line @ my local store. I got a call a few days ago to get ready because they will be accepting the orders well before anyone thought. At least I hope so! Thanks for the pic with the comparisons. Have you seen any other yellow paint to samples out there on any 997's????
