handdoc is infamous around these parts
i would add red stitching throughout the interior esp w/ the red belts, but i am biased because that is what my car has!

also the turbo embossed center arm rest

Looks solid. The only thing I would add is the thicker steering wheel option.

paint lower fascias now PITA and expensive after the fact! also do deviated stitch everywhere; expensive cause they will nickel and dime you, but will set the car off! paint front grill work, side mirrors, wheels, and turbo badge "black". you will get "LOOKS" everywhere you go, TRUST ME! should look SAWEEEET. good luck

Is there an option for a thicker steering wheel with the paddles?

Very very nice! Congrats.

Agreed on thicker steering wheel -- don't know if it's available with paddles, but this is an important option so if there is any question, I would make salesperson confirm with Porsche Germany itself.

Wonderful list as is, but just a thought & an alternate viewpoint to consider: If you don't get that center lock RS Spyder wheel, you're halfway through a PCCB budget. If you don't get carbon fiber inter. package, you are 3500 measly $ from PCCB.

My reasons:
1. Stock 997.2 wheel is not the unmitigated disaster that stock 997.1 wheel was. In fact I don't think it's that bad looking.
2. Unsprung weight saving from PCCB is quite significant (affects both ride and handling) and the initial bite is an absolute pleasure that you might not want to be without.
3. Yellow brake with dark grey exterior is absolute killer IMHO.
4. PCCB is prohibitively expensive to add, other than in a new car order. The carbon pieces and wheel are easier to add later with no price penalty. PCCB is a true performance upgrade that will warm your heart every time you look at it LOL, the wheel and the carbon pieces are not. (Does anyone know if the RS wheel offer any weight saving?)

If you track the car, never mind. No PCCB.

Nice spec. if you're doing the storage bin lid w/ logo, I would also think about doing the whole center console in leather.

The storage bid lid will have stitching along the sides which will be one continuous run if you also do the center console. If not, the center console is plastic and the storage bid lid will kind of be sitting there by itself.

here's a pic

Looks very, very nice. Like others have said, I would definately add the painted lower apron, sills, etc... Also, the leather center/rear console, but be certain to also add CDZ (I know it's XDZ on a GT3-because mine will have it- and CDZ on a C2(S), so I think that the turbo would be the same). It adds continual stitching from the base of the PCM to the front of the gear shift. Most people miss this, but it really adds to the package. With the center console option and console lid the stitching will be uninterupted. It's about $260.

I do have a dumb question. Are the wheels true Center locks ala gt3 or do they use adapters? If they are the former, yes, if the latter, no, then def. go PCCB.

and most importantly - NO brake dust.

That is one killer car you have spec'd
