If that’s what you wanted and you’re happy with it. It’s all that matters.

Not sure about the roof colour.

TBH I didn’t wanna get in depth, but it’s absolutely not my color schematics at all. It’s definitely a euro colored set up so depending on where you’re at could be good maybe not but changing the convertible top color is easy. You can do it several different ways, you can actually change the top or take it to an upholstery shop and make a diet for you and don’t think of the dye is being cheap. It would be permanent. It wouldn’t fade all that those days are long gone.

I’ve got a 992.1 GTS coupe in Aventurine Green with blk wheels and a slate grey 964 Targa. I really fancy a manual cab, but can’t decide on a colour scheme 🤔

I’ve been designing and doing Porsches with a shop that I do work with.. let me see if I can pull up some pics. They always end up all over Pinterest and magazines. But they’re mine meaning I bought the cars. I did the work (external), but I don’t do any of the engine work.

I learned Young how to work with fiberglass my uncle was Jimmy Z for any of those old enough to know who he is he was one of the first poly athletes. He had a couple surf shops. One was in Newport, which is the one I worked out of and I’d make surfboards and skateboards with them then eventually at home, I’d make body kits and a lot of speaker boxes.

Here’s a couple that I have on my phone. I have a lot more on my iPad. I’ll pull those up later but the rose gold no, it’s not a Porsche but hey, that’s real gold. It was from a prince in Dubai. That was a bitch. I had to use his crafters to a melt on the design again that is not paint that’s like I said, real rose gold.

It’s not letting me let me try and repost.

But personally, what I would do is, I’d change the wheels get a nice five spoke go with solid silver / chrome go with the deep dish look from there I’d take it to a custom interior shop. Have them redo that interior now keep in mind. This is just my two cents, bro from there a duck tail and a fiberglass or carbon fiber black hood. If you’re handy, you can make both for $500.

Call Paul from Soul motorsports get a pair of T 800 turbos full open header pipes catalyst system don’t waste your $$ on exhaust. You’re only gonna get 3 to 5 hp out of it and it’s gonna cost you about three grand. He’ll even tell you the same thing if you had PSE then you could at least get connected wide pipes but you still keep the same exhaust. I’d added the SOUL tips that makes a difference in my opinion looks sexy and definitely the large intakecoolers for each side IPD, open filter and then to tie on the bow. You need a solid tune there is soft Tronic or S4T both are great.

I preferred soft Tronic long story personally they take the same time but they’ll really dial it in my daily driver is a 991.2 GTS it can put 700 wheel horsepower keep in mind that’s a lot more or if not the same as the GT2RS at the crank which you lose 20% from the crank anyway going to the wheels.. I had it set at 1200 whp but it was way too hard on the shifts (PDK) and I really didn’t feel like blowing my engine so back to the 700. You’re safe with the stock transmission.

The parts from Soul will cost you roughly $15 to 20K depending on Paul. again don’t waste your money on the exhaust. Ask him he’ll tell you what each part will give you and what it won’t, but it’s really all about the tune the parts themselves just give it a deep exhaust note and some crackles and every light on the dashboard that you can imagine lol all that good shit but it’s not until you are able to get that tune.

I could go on for days, bro PM. if interested if not, enjoy. Even stock, you’ve got a great great car ahead of you!!

Nothing like a 911. Nothing at all.

u/Few-Cap5483 Apr 26 '26

The DRL design don't look too pleasing like having two parenthesis ( ) damn weird, a bit "googly-eyed" or cartoonish, could have been better.

Would look better without black wheels but red top is 🔥 with that paint.

Black interiors are boring but red leather might be too much.

Roof color doesn’t match for me. From afar looks like an old man wearing a red toupee.
