I ordered my car (a 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK) in November with an anticipated delivery late April. I managed to dodge the con-rod bullet, phew!, but due to the global semi-conductor shortage delivery was postponed till late July, and now I will finally pick up the car on Monday August 2nd! Jet black metallic with full black leather interior with lots of extras (Swedish list price ~USD 100K + factory added extras for ~USD 25K).
So far I have already got the Porsche black frunk and trunk lid liners, a GT4 PDK stick (looks nicer than the regular 718 PDK stick), a monochrome Porsche hood badge (replacing the coloured Porsche hood badge), black hub caps with the Porsche logo in silver (replacing the satin hub caps with the Porsche logo in colour; matches the black painted brake calipers pretty nice), a Porsche front window sunshade (I managed to get the last available old version with the Porsche logo in black and white, as the newer version only comes with the logo in colour), and a set of H&R wheel spacers (+5 mm in the front, +15 mm in the rear). After taking delivery, I will get a full ceramic coating and tinted rear bumper red reflectors. Also, I was lucky enough to get the Michelin PS4S tyres on the car, so no need to replace those dreaded P-Zero tyres that I was expecting :-).
Things I am still contemplating: A Cargraphic valve control box, a DSC chassis box, an Antigravity H6/Group-48 Lithium battery, and finally (but probably not during the first year) a Stertman stage 1 ECU tune (a Swedish tuner that takes the engine from 400 PS/430 Nm to 440 PS/440 Nm) — unless of course APR comes up with something (I have their stage 1 tune on my Audi RS6 and had it on my stage 2+ VW Golf R, which the GTS is now replacing, and am/was extremely satisfied with that :-).
Sounds like there's a bit of language confusion on my part then... :-) What do you call the black plastic mat that you place in the rear trunk, I thought that was referred to as "trunk lid liner" (and correspondingly in the front "frunk lid liner")?

Cargo mat or trunk mat? The lid liner lines the frunk lid in the Cayman.
Mike at Soul said that prices are going up on the 16th. I bought it through him for a great price on the 718Forum
I am tempted, but since mine will be a GTS, perhaps I should drive it first. I ordered this car without driving one as there were none in my area to test drive.
