Made a Childhood Dream into Reality...
I have a June allocation for a 2018 build.
The wait is going to be agonizing and I will have a decision to make on moving forward and speccing out a GT3.2. I drove a friends 991 GT3 .1 last weekend and I know most will say its a more visceral 991 but I don't know if it's the 991 for me. I just felt like I needed to be in the higher RPM's to get the any kind of oomph out of the engine and the ride was punishing. At least to me anyway. Went to the dealership and test drove a 991 Turbo and was in love. Felt like it was a good balance of power and comfort from a sports car for my usage.
Anyways, now I will stalk the parts classified on hopes to find someone selling a set of HRE p101's for my turbo!!
- Jet Black Metallic
- Black/Bordeaux Interior

- Tinted taillights
- Sunroof with glass
- ACC
- Adaptive Sports Seat
- Heated and Ventilated Seats
- Smoking Package
- All Dials in Guards Red

I wanted the logo to get lost. It looks too busy to me and I usually either model delete or black out my letters.
The carbon is only standard in the Turbo S and not the Turbo.
All my cars have red interior currently and to me there is no other option unless I was going to go black interior with deviated red cross stitching.
I decided against the aero kit. This was one of the things I was on the fence about but it would absolutely wreck me when freeway debris hits it and scuffs it up. I really wanted to do the aero kit in black. But I considered my commute and that my cars get driven over 30K per year. My Cayenne Turbo is approaching 100K in mileage and my M5 has 30K highway miles on it. So the chances of something hitting it on accident is high.

Sounds like you have it under control.
Jet Black awesome. When the sun's out (rarely in Boston) it really sparkles.
The rear logos too much. I popped off the PORSCHE top line and will probably do same with rest of it. I have a 997 Turbo chrome logo that's much nicer and will put that on it. When I was at the dealer most of the cars there had the logos removed.

Why go for used when you can get a deal on a brand new set?

Excellent build. One suggestion - Get the dials in White rather than Red. White will add some interesting contrast in the interior and will look a lot better. But more importantly than that - the issue with red dials is that there isn't enough contrast between the red needle and the red dial. You will find it annoying.
I think you're right. I probably will change it ..

Looks good but I am not a fan of chrome. I prefer to black it out or just delete all the model designations altogether.
