Nice spec. I have about 4 weeks before mine locks in. I'm still going around the houses on options (and colour!). I'm in the region of a $158k spec currently. Major difference is the PCCB, I guess; I'm going with steel brakes. Mine will be a DD - no track, so trying to make it cozy for all those Starbucks runs.
Enjoy!

I heard white gauges has visibility issues especially at night.
Only option I would have gotten was sport bucket seats but was not available on 14 models. My dealer did tell me that buckets get very uncomfortable after 45 mins and most people don't end up liking the option long term unless they use the GT3 as a weekend track car. I can sort of see the novelty of the new buckets running out especially since they won't have the ability to recline like 458 sport seat does and are solid backs. Something for those to consider when picking out this new option.
I def agree with some of you that i did go slightly overboard on my options here LOL. I hope they bring the 991 steering wheel on 15 models so we can upgrade the 14 models.

Lots of fluff in that spec that may not add a whole lot to the driving experience or maybe even the overall ownership experience. But if you have the coin, get what you want! This is the kind of spec that I wouldn't do for myself, but would love to find used.
I would have skipped colored gauges tho, as you did. They are blech to me.

If my PTS doenst come through (likely), and I still go forward with a 991 GT3 (vs .2 RS, still deciding), my build will look very similar to yours. I personally love the white, PCCB, standard wheel combination for the street. I have PCCB, buckets, axle lift, carbon fiber interior, but less of other little stuff - no heated seats, no illuminated sills, no LEDs, etc. My MSRP comes to $162k. I have determined that there is a roughly $20k swing in minimal options vs. almost all options on this car. I am sort of in the upper middle range, I believe. I think you can safely call your car "fully loaded" 
.
Gorgeous build. Congrats.

Love white w/PCCBs, Full Leather, Buckets and Yellow Belts. I added a few other small items which bring mine to just shy of $154k. The seats and brakes account for $14k of that of course! Anyway, I am struggling with being above $145k and won't go down that PCCB slippery slope.
