Integra:Guys and Girls (are there any Girls anyway here ?)
it is a fact, orde has been placed...
a 911.2 c2 with lots of options it will be !
GT silver on the outside and Agatha grey on the inside.
Oh, I will collect in Zuffenhausen on August 30
(Any suggestion from our German members about what to visit ?)
Big thanks to all of you for the support and suggestions!
(waiting, waiting,waiting,waiting...waiting...)
Congrats but I would seriously rethink that GT silver/agate grey interior choice. It really looks boring.

Wonderbar:GT silver with Bordeaux, or Rhodium with graphite blue/chalk.
Sounds much better...

it's clear that my car will be higly exclusive...no one has (or likes...) the color combo :-)
as I have 'ivory' for the moment in my actual car, I decided not to go for the chalk/blue combo as it seems higly sensitive .
the 991 will be my daily (also only) car...and honestly, the bordeaux is not so euh...bordeaux...
I was adviced against the bordeaux for being... boring! (sorry rc)
I'm running out of options: no chalk, no bordeaux...and no fancy exterior color (do not want to trigger my customers too much). And as always, some customers (a few :-( ) will consider it a good 'sign', others will ask if they are paying for my car...

I have to second Carlos.
GT silver with black interior and silver stitching looks great. Elegant and sporty together (with black wheels!).
I saw this combination on other P cars (991.1 GTS, Spyder). Great.
daily: BMW 430d
for fun: Porsche Boxster GTS
Integra:I can't select deviated stitching in the configurator...
has anyone an idea about the extra cost?
Understand that life is not a dress rehearsal.
You will be spending over a $100,000 for this car and the cost of the interior stitching or any other interior is percentage wise very small. This is a big and important purchase. Do it right. Seize the moment and get what you believe will make the car look the way you want it.
Of little, to make much: That is the dream of a human life.
Whoopsy:Silver/grey are not even considered a color, they are just part of 50 shades of grey!
per the late car designer Sergio Pininfarina, whites , silvers , greys and black were not referred to internally as " colors " ...but as " tones "
he also stated that silver is always the best for revealing fully a vehicle's exterior design complexities / subtleties and black being the worst

In the meantime, I saw some pictures of agate interior...sorry for those who have it, but it seems much, much lighter and more grey than throughout the configurator. I don't like it anymore. I saw it on a Macan af the dealer, inside the building (no daylight) and looked way more black than what I recentst saw on the internet in daylight.
Als of June,16th the order is locked, I'm considering changing I into black. Does someone has real pictures (daylight) of a black interior? any other thoughts on black are, of course, very welcome!
i would be very greatful.

Wonderbar:Anyone have good real life pics of a graphite blue car? Thanks...
This is a color that you really should see in person. Not too hard to find an example at a dealer...

Indeed... That's why I changed my mind although the combination with blue/chalk interior looks stunning.
Comparing with other brands I found it difficult to find a color that suites me/the car. There really are not many colors, are there?
still waiting for my gt silver with black leather...

I saw a beautiful 991 parked some blocks from our home today - I can check if the car is there tomorrow, if so I take some pictures. The color looked excellent (although I was no fan of it seeing it at IAA in artificial light). In real life this can look amazing.
Here are two from my March test drive. At least to my eye a fair representation of the color on an overcast cloudy day. The cloudy weather may explain my lack of enthusiasm for the car compared to my 991.1S. As Grant says best seen in person though.
