I went to the Frankfurt auto show to see my car, and one of the main reasons was I wanted to see how it looked in real life, albeit under fluorescent lights. It's a big risk looking at pictures to figure out what color you want, and for this price I would definitely make an effort to see the car before placing the final order. They had pretty much all the colors available to see, and I'm really happy with the Carerra white. I just can't imagine ordering an unusual color like the green, red or either shade of blue without seeing the car in person. These colors look very different depending on the pictures. I mean, what if you don't like it? Then you're really stuck.
I'll also add that I was thinking about switching to the high gloss black for exterior option, and my advice is DO NOT get this option. There were scratches all over the running boards by the front doors, and the CF looked great. Other observations - just my opinion - the race-Tex interior looked terrific. I couldn't tell a lot of difference between regular and Olea leather, but ordered the Olea anyways, figuring it would feel better after some use. You'll need to keep a microfiber cloth in the console for the fingerprints on the console screen - which will probably drive me semi-nuts. The one thing I couldn't check out was how the car looked inside and outside in the sunlight. The glass interior is supposedly non-reflective, but really I figure you don't have a choice. Same with the glass roof - but it looks terrific in person.
Bottom line is this is one of the best looking cars I've seen in a showroom. Looks like what a Porsche should look like inside and outside for the next decade.
