How about GT Silver with Cocoa leather and Cocoa top?

The triple Black combo already comes with Grey deviated stitching as standard.

The Guards Red/SGL/Black top and the Slate Grey/Black/Black are look good.

NSX Blue needs factory approval first because not every color wish gets fulfilled. You need a pretty good dealer to push for it.

Color to sample NSX Blue, I think that would look real hot on the Cab and it would be unique IMO.

I gotta go with Guards Red. A return of the classic. Perfect color for this car. Is there an option for black leather on that with red stitchnig? That would be so hot.

Be carefull with deviated stitching and paint to sample because they may not go together perfectly and it could look off.

I'd do NSX blue, then GT silver. Never was a fan of guards red, even in the 80s and 90s.

Guards red had been arond for a long time. I had an 86 944 that was guards and I am pretty sure the color can be dated back to the late 70's.

My Dad had a '78 911 SC that was Guards Red. I don't think it was a respray, so yeah I believe Guards Red does date back to the 70's.
