looking to see how many people have a solarbeam yellow amg GTR!

here's another one and the color looks totally different depending on light.

Beautiful!! I wonder if the rear diffuser fit the 2020 GTR. I hope it does, I want it.

fahad alamiry

same! or the rear diffuser side extensions only! no one does it for the GTR?

Orcbolg

I'm sure Renntech or someone similar will before long.

MCLAMBO

the carbon fiber side blades and rear diffuser are a single piece so may require replacing the entire assembly to upgrade. Not sure what's currently available but possibly something in the future from APR Tuning or RENNtech. I just replaced the factory black plastic fender louvers with carbon fiber units from RENNtech. They look amazing but were expensive!

Orcbolg

Are they one piece? Was taking a close look at 2 different Pros last weekend and there's def a gap between the winglets and the diffuser that made me thing it was an attachment.

Good on your for replacing that textured black plastic, as it looks so cheap and out of place on the car, especially with every other bit on the exterior being carbon or gloss black.

MCLAMBO

after taking a second look you are correct. The winglet is a separate piece from the diffuser so could be an easy add-on if someone decides to offer it.

Its got the factory frozen wrap on it, which I want to pull off at some point, but it keeps the rocks away for now which is all I really care about.

Orcbolg

Looks great! Does any of the pearl effect come through the wrap?

Rhinoceroscity

Not really, unfortunately. Part of why Id like to get it replace with a normal clear wrap, but I care more about just keeping rock chips away, and it does that.

Solarbeam yellow GTRs are uncommon, but not entirely rare. I am curious to see those build #s though.

That thing is just gorgeous...Im a black car guy, but man, this would be my easy second choice. Let me guess.....you barely miss your convertible!

I have the Rentech louvers too, they look awesome. I like the more aggressive look. Did you pick them up during the 20% off sale? Only reason I snapped them up. I also bought the EVM at the same time as it was 10% off.

MCLAMBO

great photos and would also love to know how many Solar Beam Yellow GT cars were produced. Especially now that the color has been retired. Out of 150 Pros that came to the US I believe mine is one of only three but haven't been able to confirm.

MCLAMBO

yes took advantage of the 20% off over holidays and posted some pictures in this thread. They do look awesome and should have come that way from the factory. Also considered the lower cost version from APR but the louver design appears identical to the factory. RENNtech has more open design and much more aggressive looking. A lot more money for sure but since the louvers are such a visible part it was worth spending the extra $$$ IMO.

Hahah thank you - it is a tricky thing to say. The GTR is phenomenal car to drive - in ways I wouldn't have expected. However, I think the GTC Roadster is the more visceral experience. I have been contemplating getting a 718 Spyder to get a taste of that sweet roadster experience back. Don't get me wrong though, I am the happiest man alive with the GTR!

Saudio

Interesting. I had the 718 spyder and a SBY GTC as my choice for my next car, and decided to buy the first available one that met my spec. A SBY came available first but I may still end up with a Spyder before it's all over. Completely different cars, both real drivers cars.

This is the solarbeam yellow with Stealth matte ppf clear protection?😍 if yes can you please post more live pictures of the car from different angles because i have the solarbeam colour and i was thinking into wrapping it with matte paint protection to get the magno color!

Rhinoceroscity

Yea, it was apparently wrapped with matte PPF from the factory, for some reason. Can check out some more pictures . It does mute the color a decent amount, especially when not in direct sunlight.

ChargedMB

Well said - especially with the new Spyder sharing every part with the GT4 aside from the Spyder bits. Different purposes, but very similar idea of being a real driver's car

Saudio

I wish the roof mechanism wasn't so cumbersome but the car is beautiful and it comes standard with a manual 7 speed transmission. A rare commodity these days.

ChargedMB

Thats the charm in the car though! The OG 987 Boxster Spyder had the clunkiest mechanism, but the 981 and 718 are quirky enough to have charm yet not a total pain.
