Got an allocation, looking to build something that feels timeless and special. What do you all think?https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRCHVBD5

I really like the spec. I feel like Ice Grey is a bit of a lackluster color especially for the price. Have you considered Arctic Grey with the red interior? I feel like it pops way more without being obnoxious. If not i'd actually recommend GT Silver. I think its a bit more classy than Ice Grey.

But of course at the end of the day its still your choice so go with what you love.

GT Silver is too silver for me and I don’t like how bright is is compared to the red. Arctic I like as a color but it is too dark for my taste, I like brighter colors for a car this size.

ice grey for me is like silver white which I think allows the red to pop more while still looking not as bland as white and not as flat as chalk.

I think it's one of those colors that need to be seen in person to be appreciated. I really like the red interior though with the color. I think your build looks great. Its weird, i loved Python Green on my GT4 but for the GTS i seem to be gravitating towards the darker colors.

I think this showcases the effect well.

Oooooh that looks way better.

You have good taste. Looks great to me especially the choice of the manual. It is high spec. build so any reason for not adding navigation and Porsche connect? Also, I would get the roll hoops painted in the exterior color. They are cheap black plastic otherwise. I didn't see that option ticked?

I have a CW Boxster 25 with the red interior. I wish the stitching was in a different color but I bought my car used.

I dont think theres any reason to get the Nav as you can add it for free with just a spare hour and an SD card. Doesnt even require any sort of advanced computer skills

I've looked at a bunch of the models with painted roll hoops, but it isn't for me. I think visually it pulls your eyes too far up the car, vs a lower looking stance with the matte black more "disappearing".

Too much red and 129K on a GTS is too much

Your choice. Here is mine. Good luck. I dislike the plastic black hoops personally. Looks cheap.

Great looking car! How do you like the full Bordeaux? I'm not as big of a fan of 2 tone interiors and all red looks great to me but I can see why many don't like the full spec.

AnandN

Thanks. All red is a bit much for me but beggars can't be choosers. The car has white gauges and brushed aluminum trim which breaks up all the red.
I wanted to order a 2024 BGTS in CR with the CR GTS interior package but had zero luck with that allocation. I'm satisfed with mine. Not a big fan of neodyme but oddly, it seems to work on a white car. The car is very quiet below 4k rpms and I will remedy that soon enough once I'm back in NH. Not aurally as exciting as my 981 Boxster S with the 3.4 liter. Now that was a treat.

Looks very classy. Make sure you check out ice gray metallic in real life if you can. I saw it once on a Taycan and it was not looking as good as it looks for your car in the configurator. But if it looks like that, I like it.

Other than that, here are some questions and suggestions to think about:

• If you go with Headlight Cleaning System Covers in Deviated Exterior Color | Ice Grey Metallic, it looks like you save $60! (is that a mistake in the configurator?)
• While the center console trim in brushed Alu is less likely to reflect sunlight, you may want to consider ordering that trim in red leather through your parts department if available.
• Inner Door-Sill Guards in Leather with Deviated Stitching: Are you sure that this will not get too much wear from getting in and out of the car?
• Why did you decide against Voice control, given it is a 0 cost option?

Curious when your production is?

Edit: sucks you can't get the brushed aluminum shifter lever with the deviated stitching. That is a big bummer.
and per the comments below - I agree, drop the Power Steering Plus
