Advice for 981 build

I like your car. There are no must have options afaic. A base 981 with nothing is an amazing car.
i will say this though, out of all the options on my 981S, the one option i would check first is PASM.
If you live where roads are less than optimal PASM is great. It povides the perfect combination of enahnced handling and comfortable ride. i dont know how Porsche does it as peviously comfort always came at the expense of ultimate handling. Not so with PASM. The ride is comfortable but the feel is taught and sharp amazing.
I like the full leather. thets one option I wish I got on my 981S as the stitching on the dash especially deviated stitching gives it a real nice look.
Congrats and good luck

The full leather with all the options can be very pricey!!
Here's my 2 cents CND / 1.3 cents USD. Y
Re: Basic 981 or 981 S? It's an extra chunk of $$ and I just want a basic car withi a great engine that I can keep in the higher revs without going crazy fast. Check out the Feb issue of Panorama mag.
Add:
1. PSE - sport exhaust or PASM
2. Sport Seats Plus - a must for extra bolsters on the side
Drop:
1. Power Steering Boost - WTF? Don't need it. This is a light car.
And youll have a BITCHIN' ride!
Here's my build of a basic 981 for comparison:

My wife thinks white cars are, errr.., a bit 'fancy' if you know what I mean but I saw a 2012 TT cab in white over black, yellow PCCBs and red seat belts and it looked AWESOME.
Whoops - sub 19 inch wheels for the 18's in the build

When my fiancee saw the PSE she said:
Do you really need that?
But more I think about it and more
On the Sport Seats Plus I don't really like the grey color on the back but I guess I should see it in real to see how it looks.
Thanks everyone!

It's both for me. As I said I'm driving a Jeep and a Jeep is, well... a Jeep
Yeah thanks for the advice! Since I don't live where I'll live after I buy the car I don't really know how the roads are (Seattle). But since there's a lot of people suggesting it I might check it out.

Sweet!

I don't see the 18" cayman wheels in the configuator for the Boxster, how'd you get them on there?

I see that they are on the Boxster build page and not on the S page where I was. Can you not run the 18" wheels on the S? Are they too small or do they look too small? I don't like the boxster 19" wheels very much and I have heard the 20's are a harsher ride.
