All,
I appreciate everyone's input and thanks for all the responses. It sounds like Exclusiv has said it's doable, the order mgmt specialist says it isn't and if I try to wait it out until it's approved, it never happened on the 981.
Hard to know what to do because like I said, those painted surfaces were my two favorite options. I've thought about buying another set of the parts that I want in PTS, having them painted when the car arrives and swapping them with the originals. Has anyone else looked into this? Thanks again.

I think you will love the car. I did not consider painting hoops to give more emphasis on the rear decklid bumps and have all the black even out between the decklid and cabin.
The key at least for me on your build would be verification inside PTS painted trim. If its not default to exterior color in this case PTS then what do you get??

One way to go is to order the leather interior trim on door/dash/console so that the door trim is leather and matches the rest of the door panel, and then buy a set of the dash and console pieces and have them painted. The standard silver plastic painted interior parts should be inexpensive (Especially used) as donors for paint. This is what the 1,000,000 911 did but with wood rather than painted trim. The door panels have leather, but the dash is wood. You could at the same time paint things like the steering wheel inserts and I believe the LWB pass throughs are removal so they could be painted too if you like painted trim. Heck, you could do the vents or vent surrounds if you want to go nuts.
As far as what it will default to, when there is a conflict on other cars, you would just have to pick another option (aluminium, leather, or CF with an upcharge).

As I mentioned earlier... It was a CXX option and cost extra... Not standard as is being claimed for the 718 Spyder. Personally I think the it will be the same for the 718 Spyder... being a CXX option and not standard. Porsche typically doesn't give away money. (unless the make it standard and up the base price... haha)

As a result of your posting I have re-asked Exclusiv to re-confirm their earlier statement(s) regarding this... watch this space

that the $12380 PTS option would also include such (pending approval).
If this was *not* the case then when placing a PTS order you would be required to specify a trim alternate in the absence of it being painted

I would normally agree with you, however I do not think you can extrapolate from the 981 experience to the 982. interior trim *is* painted as the default for any of the standard palette so it would seem reasonable
that the $12380 PTS option would also include such (pending approval).
