Wow, quite the build. Where to start....


I'm with kfmcmahon, I prefer the black PDLS to the look of the LED headlamps.

The factory fire extinguisher isn't worth the coin, too small - buy a better mount and extinguisher aftermarket. The general concensus, including a recent review from a UK owner, is to skip the aluminum pedals - if you must have aluminums the rennline pedals provide better shoe traction and more options.

You've added the Telephone module, this puts an actual GSM phone in the car. If this is what you want you are good, but most US buyers just want bluetooth so they can use their personal mobile through the car's audio system.

Online services get mixed reviews.

I have specifically spec my car without SiriusXM as I can't stand the position of the antenna. It's a square puck on the roof. To my eye it interrupts the roofline. I'm not a subscriber, but my wife is.

Electronic logbook. If you're an avid traveller or you bill mileage to clients this could be useful, otherwise it's a gizmo most would tinker with the first week and forget about for the remainder of their ownership experience.

VR,

Ryan

Thank you very much for responding ! I was in doubt in all of those items that you mentioned !
The aluminum pedals looked good on the porsche site but was in doubt if getting or not. Gonna check it off now .

You are right about the cell phone only bluetooth for me would never use the GSM.

You just saved me $1000 hehe !

Do you have any pic of where the antenna is on the Gt3? On my Turbo i think its on the rear deck lid .

Thx again

I agree the platinum wheels are top notch. I actually would have paid the up charge for those, and the silver should be the free one IMHO. Overall nice build mine is very similar I went with red stitching and gauges with white metallic paint.

Sure. I had Porsche Exclusive confirm that this is indeed the final position for the SiriusXM antenna for all MY2014 and MY2015. And that it is only added if you order the SiriusXM option, just getting the PCM/NAV does not add it.

With the sat antenna...



Without the sat antenna...

Nice build. I would keep the aluminum pedals. I have seen them and they look very good and they do have indents that allow for grip.
