the silver lining....a 2012 GTS

Started the P car pursuit a while back by selling my customized TT to build to order a 2010 Cayman S....Long story short on the Cayman S is I had to re-prioritize money to family vs a car. Good news is the family got taken care of and then I was fortunate enough to move up from the Cayman S to the 2012 GTS. Pictures of the progression attached. Hope to get some better ones of the GTS soon.

Picked up the GTS today and put about 100 miles on it this afternoon. Opted for 5 lug vs center locks and some would say an eccentric color in macadamia metalic but I love the combination with the black alcantera and leather interior. Big fan of the PDK as well.

GTS looks great. My wife loves Macademia...but never saw a GTS one until now. Really like it with the black interior. Looks like you opted for the Side Decal Delete?

The 5-lug Sport wheel is probably a good choice. Now you can add Spacers if you want to push those wheels out.

yep...side decals deleted. Also on the tail just went with "GTS" vs "Carrera GTS". Prefer a bit more subtlety.

+1. I won't own a street car with centerlocks. Leave those for your track car.

Congratulations!
