So for America only 918 VIP allocations have dropped and none to actual dealers right?

That's correct. All allocations released so far is for 918 VIP, spanning from January to June 24 production months.

Mine was originally slotted for January production but that mean I don't have time for CXX options. So I requested to push back my production month to May 2024 to open up CXX.

On that build, I'd take the black wheels over the silver any day of the week. Played or not.

Hear you. They can be removed. Might be cool to ghost them if 3M makes riviera blue tape.

Fine by me, I buy the car for its capabilities not for reselling or posing 😊,

From experience (987.2 Spyder & 25jahre GTS), it rains a lot over here, I knew upfront I wanted to avoid leather of racetex (top) door panels as the ‘plastic’ is much easier to maintain, especially when using the car open and/or with the biminitop. So, WP was a no-go anyway (also not convinced it looks better)


Color was more difficult. I have a maritime blue 944 Turbo convertible, so I knew Shark would disappoint me. Same with Racing yellow as I have also a Speed-yellow 987.2 Cayman S and Ferrari-yellow 968 cabriolet. With the 25jahre being GT silver, I had few options left.

In the end I opted for GR, a color I really like, but which implied I had to drop the PCCB’s (as the SY calipers don’t work for me with GR).

As I went for the satin-black wheels (not enough ***** to go for neodyme), the high-gloss black calipers were also out.

Back window frame, red accents insight, FAL, camera (getting old), cruise control (lot of average speed controls unfortunately), 18-way seats (just kidding) and some other bits and pieces (and the watch )
As said, I kept it pretty modest.

Congrats, looks great! Curious why you didn't pick the red interior. Too much red or the Carmine red not matching Guards? I think leather steering wheel and shifter will fare better than racetex if caught by rain and in general with time, unless you plan on wearing driving gloves. I'd also add leather interior (vs plastic) -- looks much better and worth the $, IMO. Leather does fine with water after you wipe it off. Cows seem to be doing fine when rained on.

EDIT: OK just realized that the base interior only comes in silver.
