Congratulations !! Very nice build. Your car is going to look amazing. I am heavily leaning towards Rhodium as well
Porsche is going to have to source some extra cows for all the leather in your car !!

It's one hell of a build! CONGRATS !!
The deviated stitching will look phenomenal but be careful with lighter color stitching as it may get dirty easily (leather conditioners etc). I seriously considered silver deviating stitching on mine but backed out due to this.
18 way seats with leather back will be great but since your ext color is Silver, you could keep it silver (standard) as well; something to think about. I thought about it long and hard and decided to not get leather back...it's one of more expensive options. But hey, whatever makes you happy, right?
I highly recommend illuminated door sills! It looks majestic; you may think about getting rid of logo designation on armrest with center tunnel stitching option (could look crowded) and if you get illuminated door sills...it's just me but I think too much model logo designation could look cheesy - also, with your arm resting against it for longer time, the designation may imprint on your arm..yep, I've done extensive research before I finalized my order
Regardless of my worthless comments / research...you have an awesome build ....congrats again!

Thanks 
yes I love leather and no I'm not a leather-fetisjist.
Thanks and good idea Jeff! maybe I should consider that... 
I'll see what I do. It will be at least at the the end of december, before I can get delivery, because I'm in the U.S. for a month. I can have a lot of patience, but havan't tested myself to the extremes
Thanks, I saw some nice cows on my way home yesterday. They were purple and had MILKA on its side tattood 
I think I'gonna send Porsche a mail, with the location of these cows
Thanks
Thanks Fester,
I had white deviated stitching on black leather in my audi S5 (audi exclusive interrior) and I loved it!. It gets dirty easily, but can be cleaned easily too. Unfortunatly I don't have it now in my Q5 (demo-car) and I miss it. It makes the interior look so much nicer.
Regarding the silver back of the 18-way seats, if it wasn't for that option to get it done in leather, I wouldn't even have considered the 18-way seats. Don't know why, but I just don't like the silver back.
The iluminated door sills I've been thinking about. But I don't know if I like it that much t be honest. Maybe it's worth another night of sleep to think about it
The logo designation does imprint a little bit in your arm indeed. Noticed that when I testdrove a C4S for a day. This is one of the things I'm still not completely sure about.
Thanks!

yes I love leather and no I'm not a leather-fetisjist. maybe I should consider that... Glad to see that you ordered!!! no use waiting any longer.. I started on my odyssey in Feb of this year. Could not get an allocation for what I wanted until the 2014 allocations. I will not see my 2014 C2S in Rhodium Silver also, no sunroof also and for the same reasons, until Oct 25th. Thus only a few good weeks of driving will be available (at least no bugs!).You see where I live we must salt, salt and more salt until spring! But I have a very nice winter cave my car. If fact I just installed some additional lighting to my storage garage. I found that florescent daylight bulbs gives a great tone to my Artic Silver Cayman S (at least to my eyes) so it should do as well on the Rhodium Silver C2S. So when required I can visit (daily if necessary) the cave, turn the lights and remove the cover and enjoy!!!
Just what you feel as best!
As for me I cannot see the need to wait any longer I have suffered long enough!!

Rep Power: 111 of course I did my homework... I'm a controlfreak! I know all the optioncodes with prices by heart. My salesman didn't believe what he heard when I enumerated all the codes and prices without thinking a second, while he was searching his list.
They even offered me a job, if I was interested.Suzy991
