I pinged my dealer to find out if the timing of my car yesterday since I got the allocation in Sept and he showed me a screenprint of the expected delivery date. He thinks the delay was due to the PTS color.

We saw them lump colors together and move dates around with GT3 PTS production.

Yeah, I'm not in any hurry to get the car as I'm picking up a gentian blue GT4 on Jan 8th from PEC LA. I'll drive that one until the PTS car comes in.

It’s now 3 pages instead of two - but still quite short compared to past lists.

I just requested access to the spreadsheet. I don't think the PTS window as long as it was for the 991.2 GT3.

Sorry but I locked down the spreadsheets because when it was open in the beginning, someone deleted all of the data. Can take that chance again. Sorry since I've put in so much time and effort to maintain the data. If you have something you'd like to update, please post here and I can update or PM me. I hope you understand.

Hi all -- I am new to the forum and to Porsche. I'm in the midst of putting together a PTS order and wondering if anyone could help me out with the price of a few CXX options. I'm trying to gauge cost for (i) door pulls in a deviated color to match deviated stitching in orange; (ii) getting Porsche crests embroidered on headrests in lieu of the GT4 script; (iii) GT4 rear logo in PTS; and (iv) interior trim in PTS or, alternatively, a deviated color. I assume each of these will cost an arm and a leg, but then I see PTS headlamp washers cost less than finishing them in a body-matching standard color and it gets me wondering . . . . Thanks in advance for any help.

What I was quoted, what color are you going with?

1) door pulls: $1310
2) crests on seats: $8875 (this includes full customization)
3) GT4 Rear logo: $615

CTDiesel - welcome! Are you aware there is a $3000 minimum for CXX options on top of the PTS cost. Obviously you’d exceed it with your list. In addition your dealer must give you a PTS allocation which are far fewer than non PTS allocations. Since you’re new I didn’t want to assume you understood this. I believe all dealers have at least one sales advisor who is certified in CXX and they should be able to tell you costs and also PTS colors available.

Are you sure you didn't typo the cost on the seat crests? I ordered them and definitely wouldn't have done so at $9k. My memory has the cost more like $900.

Door pulls in orange are a No-Go....they don't have a nylon strap material to match the stitching. Already being tried at my dealer for a 718 GT4 PTS Pastel Orange....any other color I was quoted around $1000 as long as it's on Porsche stock (read used on another model)...closest you wil get is Lava Orange from the GT3 RS 991.1 but it will be darker and more red.
The Porsche Crest on the seats will require full seat customization hence the big $$$$$
I also can confirm there's a minimum amount for CXX options....in my case it was 2000 EUR.

Thanks, skafia and needmoregarage! I appreciate the information, especially about the minimum for CXX options, of which I wasn't aware. I've been told I have a PTS slot for May production (it will delay my build by a month), and my order will lock in January. I'm thinking Oslo Blue.

The price for the crests on the headrests is just insane (unless there's a typo). For that price, I could be like the guy who put tvs in the back of the headrests of his Lotus and still have some coin left over!

Congrats if you secured a PTS slot. I think you're the only person, that has reported at least here on the forums, of a May production so it seems PTS slots may still be available but I assume in VERY limited numbers.

As for the headrest, keep in mind that once you select this option, you're basically not just able to customize the headrest with the Porsche crest, you can customize the entire seat.

You should do a search in this forum for the CXX option threads for some ideas.
