My first Porsche build! Critics welcome!

Anything I’m missing?
Anything I’ve done that’s unnecessary?
Headed to Porsche Experience Center ATL in early December with the local head sales manager and a buddy of mine who is also taking delivery of a .2 GT3. Going to get some track time in a GT3 which will be an incredible experience.
This car will be a spirited street car that will hopefully see track time in the future.
Taking delivery in April!

Looks like you've checked every box except the ultra rare "kitchen sink package".

Congrats and nice build!
My only tweaks would be:
1. The CF mirror caps will be the only exposed CF on the exterior so I always thought it looks better standard.
2. Front Lift - for a $188k build, I'm surprised FAL isn't selected. Seems to be a commonly selected option for a reason.
I like the air vents in MB, that is nice and subtle. I also think the yellow stitching will look cool.

You might want to read about the carbon floor mats. I haven't heard good things about them. I also echo the comment above about FAL.
Otherwise only other options you might consider is the leather steering column and extended leather on dashboard. You added several other plush upgrades and these are definitely ones to consider. Especially the steering column for the money.
Congrats!

Haha, thanks Gunner.

Interesting thought on the mirrors. I'll have to kick that around.
Front Lift is something I'm just not familiar with having not owned a Porsche in the past. I have never had a ton of issues scraping with my previous cars (which have all been very low), so I thought it seemed a waste (especially for how expensive of an option it is). I'll have to think this through.
I was actually trying to do the air vents in RY to keep the interior yellow theme going (belts, stitching, vents). Not sure why it's coming through in MB.
Thanks a lot for the feedback

I'll definitely look into the carbon floor mats. Thanks for mentioning.
Thanks for the feedback, Manitou!

There is low and then there is low. Porsche have a long overhang in front of the front wheels that a lot of other "low" cars don't have. That is where you might get into trouble.

How about the painted black door handles option since you're going for that theme w/ the cf mirror caps, black wheels, and black LEDs? Food for thought...

That's a lot of ? marks Billy. It's a well worn path followed by many including Seinfeld on a 993 Turbo S. A blue car with PCCB's has yellow belts. Some add yellow dials and or another trim item.
PS I'd remove the painted lower skirts, unpainted they visuallly lower the car.
Painted air vents are killer!

Nice build. I’m not doing FAL either cause have it on my car now and never used it. Then the only reason to get it is for the next guy. Not worth it to me. I agree on mirrors as nothing else exterior is carbon. And I also think you need to research the carbon mats. but other then that it’s a great build as is.
