Couple of updates.
1) Added CF door sills
2) Changed Steering wheel from Alcantara to leather
3) Added aluminum look gas cap (because I think the default gas cap looks cheesy)
4) Added AHA radio
Still on the face with HD radio.
Saw that post about the MovIt brakes and I'm wondering if I should get steel brakes and then add those. They look to be better than PCCB's

+1 on carbon fiber sills. I believe that the stock plastic sill is highly suspectible to scratches when entering/leaving the car.
Many people advised me to paint the nubs that wash the headlights to exterior color, otherwise it might look awkward in chrome.
For instrument dials, I was also considering ordering white, but saw a post somewhere that white instrument dials on the 991 looks like there are a lot of cutouts. Some reason I cannot attach photos thru my phone but here's a link if you haven't seen yet:

The CF door sills on the 918 are the entire sill. On the 911, its just an insert so you still have a lot of plastic that can get scuffed. I'm going to be more careful this time.

The CF looks great and its not that fragile. I've had it on 2 previous cars and it wasn't a problem at all. Just pick up your feet! We all no doubt have our own ways of getting into and out of the car as to not destroy the bolsters in the seats which for most of us includes putting our left hands on the sill to push up and out, once you lift your left leg over there really is no risk. The only thing you need to watch is the WIFE IN HEELS! But hey, Even they are trainable..

For those worrying about scuffing the door entry guards, have them wrapped in clear bra. I have this done on my full length cf door entry guards and inner cf door sills. No issues. And if there is a scuff it comes right off

The aluminum LOOK gas cap is plastic, not billet alumum, fyi. I originally spec'd thinking it was metal. As such, a plastic chromed gas cap makes me limp pumping gas....
