I was not a fan of Red 911s until I recently saw a 991CS at the local Porsche dealership with Carrera Classic wheels and PASM with the rear spoiler up. I had to do a double take and just could not take my eyes off of it !! 
To me the choice between Guards Red and White (which is the colour I was also considering) is this: If you want a more sporty looking 991CS, Guards Red it is. If you want a more refined looking 991CS, White or Dark Blue Metalic would be my choices !!! Crap, know I'm back to thinking about getting ones of these !!
Good Luck with you choice

Hi all,
Have a 991 c2 on order w/ 20' S wheels. My instinct was to go Guards Red but I've seen a few picks where I can't tell how well the color looks in daylight. I've recently seen several with white and think it looks great.
Pretty sure you can't go wrong with either but would love some pics with those colors and any feedback on how they look in the wild.
Opting for the glass sunroof as well.
Thanks!

BTW, GR looks great in any light and don't base your decision on pics alone cause they don't depict reality 100%
disclaimer: color is very subjective and there is no right or wrong answer.

Carrara White is my preferred choice (although I think it's replaced by pure White in 2013 models), Guards Red would be my inner child's choice, and I ended up with Agate Grey to stay below the radar and attract less attention.

I like white, but I can see why others like red more. The one thing that I notice when I see it in person is that the taillights blend in with the rest of the car. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences.

Wheels painted in black (which I don't have) also make it mean looking.

I saw a Guards Red/ Luxor Beige 991 at the dealer. It was stunning....
I know just about everyone gets a black interior, but red/beige combo is classic Porsche/Ferrari....and looks awesome on the 991.
