Here's FAYENCE over SIGNAL:

 

isnt there another yellow, i think its more soft..in tone.. ??

 

Fly Yellow?

Wow, intereting differences in those colors... Signal Yellow is amazing. Gorgeous car.

 

Another A/B shot:

 

Here is my 2001 Fly Yellow TT next to my 1999 speed yellow coupe. Fly is so hot!!!

 

PCNA told me that Fayence Yellow was formulated to be very similar to Fly Yellow because such a high proportion of paint-to-sample cars in yellow were specified in Fly.

 

Mike can you order paint to sample Fayence yellow or is that only available for the Carrera GT?

 

Thanks Mike- great comparison shots - did you buy a Gt2 also and not tell me The signal is great looking ........

I love all of the yellows but Fly yellow is very nice. In my opinion, however the NSX yellow pearl I had on my S2000 would look amazing on a turbo or 996

 

I'll have pics this weekend, but I just took delivery on my Fly Yellow C2. SY is nice, but I love the brillance in Fly!!

 

Yes, I believe one can.

There was a thread over on RennTeam about a European Porsche shopper that went to look at a Fayence yellow 996 of some sort.

 

No, I didn't slip a GT2 into the garage. It was in for service over at the dealer. I asked if they had any Speed Yellow cars on the lot so I could take a picture. They came up with the GT2 for me from the service lot. Pretty nice guys.

 

Wow.. that is the first time i have seen signal yellow. Very sharp!

 

Mike whats the story with the Carrera GT? Are you taking your allocation ?

ABSOLUTELY! It's scheduled to start production in December this year as a MY-2005 car.

There's now a rumor that for MY-2005, and beyond, some Exclusive Department options will be available. This is said to include paint-to-sample for "some" colors. I have a request in to see if Signal Yellow is among "some" colors.

The major hold up on paint-to-sample for the Carrera GT is that the carbon fiber panel supplier has to apply the finish before it is shipped to Leipzig. The factory at Leipzig is really a kit-assembler and doesn't do any heat, beat, or stink processes at all. Just wrench work. Sort of like building a kit car. Therefore, the CF panel supplier would have to become a bit more flexible in their processes as well as coordinate finish colors with the plastic bumper cap supplier. It just ain't Zuffenhausen, but they're working on it.

The thicker steering wheel option is a must for me, too. I have it on my TT cab and I can't go back. It makes driving the Signal Yellow coupe seem like I'm holding on to a hula hoop instead of a steering wheel
