I love the uniqueness of the matte colors, but I think Portimao Blue is the least exciting color I've ever seen. Thanks.

You got a nice blue color car that you are bored with, I’d go with a full break from that with Toronto. Different and fresh for you throughout.

Would be a very nice break...and save me $2k+!

Your first choice being a pure orange, your second a reddish orange it only make sense that your third is an orangy red

Very well thought out argument. I concur.

Looks nice. I do think an orange interior will make it look even more like a Pumpkin.

Ok, despite it not technically being offered in the US, I was approved for Frozen Orange on a week 49 build. I was denied Fire Orange (according to the dealership, god knows if they ever actually tried) but I'm thrilled!

Going to do Silverstone Interior with CF Buckets and full leather with red calipers.

Nice! Congratulations on the approval

This is what it'll look like in daylight. I think I've seen pics of it indoors too. Beautiful color!

I would've picked the 825M wheels based on this pic at least. I'd like to see the different wheel options in person though!

Thanks brother! I don't think this picture is doing it much justice.

This thread is what sold me on it:

I really like bright, in your face colors. This color is absolutely not my
"cup of tea." The only reason it appeals to me is the matte finish. Hopefully, I will like it IRL.

Black is boring but at least let's the Exterior stand out. White interior on Frozen Orange could be cool...

I just found a Fire Orange with Silverstone F80 (pic attached) but almost every other Fire Orange build (which is similar) has a black interior.

That's exactly the reason I chose Silverstone when I built this car... EVERY OTHER Fire Orange build is with BLK interior... really, really boring LOL

Congrats! And sure will be a rare one I hope!
F8x Silverstone is a lot more "white," especially on the seats. Really made a lot of people backed out on ordering it.

But how I miss the Orange x white combo ughhh
