Personally, I would delete the model designation on the rear - it's so long and cumbersome.
Beware - changes now may affect the build date, might move it out a week or so.
Missed this in the OP's spec, never had one or wanted CF on the wheel, not only for reason of being hot in the sun, but also finger prints and feel.

I always get Alcantara and now on the Spyder multifunction and heated...

PSA…did your SA tell you 2 days to lock?

If not could be past or well into the future.

Good luck with your build, I wouldn’t get the CF wheel either.

Change the 18-ways to LWB, and it will be perfect.

My only regret is not getting the ventilated seats. I’m personally not a fan of Race-Tex and did the leather seats with Porsche emblem embossed on headrests. But this is a personal choice and makes it great that we have all these options !! My options are otherwise much the same as yours. YMMV

I love my LWBS but after taking 5 minutes to extricate my 78 year old dad from the seat after taking him for a ride, I can now see why not everyone wants to spec them.

I'd like to say that I "resemble" your comment about having to extricate your 78 year-old dad from a LWBS. I'm gonna be 76 next month. The only reason I had to stay away from the LWBS is because I can see myself being unable to get out of them without some kind of hoist, other than my arms. Getting in is the easy part. I actually could get out of them a year ago when I tried one, but every single year now my "decrpitness" keeps accelerating, and I'm pretty sure it has not yet reached terminal velocity. It's one of the few things that duct tape cannot fix. I really hope I finally get my car, and the break-in done, before I'm permanently ejected from the race circuits. The only wise advice I can give you guys is don't hold back on driving your car: the cars love it, you love it, and it will all come to an end some day.

Great advice!
