Archimedes,
I am happy for you....your perseverance paid off!! When is the expected delivery date? By the way, if you have any more leads please shoot me a PM, greatly appreciated it! Congrats.

Thanks. I’ll let you know if any of the other leads I was pursuing turn out to be real cars.
Looks great! It's all personal at this level, but here are my thoughts:
- Stick with SC. The aesthetics of 991 SC just work with theme when sitting in cockpit. Well designed, streamlined into dash, unlike 997.
- I'd opt for PDLS Xenon, particularly with satin platinum. The darker interior housing gives the classic eyeball a modern feel. Last 2 pics below have PDLS. It looks very sharp with GT Silver, esp when looking dead front center.
- For whatever reason, really like GT Silver + PCCB Yellow + Silver wheel. Pops nice. Platinum or Silver would be my top 2.
- Reconsider getting full leather + steering column. You have a sophisticated/svelt look to your interior (plus it's a touring)... think it just complements.
- Get larger aftermarket extinguisher with metal bracket if you really need it. Personally think it may look a bit dorky in a Touring.
Congrats!! Hope everything gets done soon and you get your car! As far as the build goes, I agree with the fire extinguisher, it doesn’t get on the way and it does add a nice touch(I have it on my gt4). Other than that as long as it’s the build that makes you happy then it’s the perfect build!

What lights are on the car in the pic above? These look just like the standard lights on my C2S. I don't really understand what the $780 PDLS option gets me. I thought it was just a darker ring around the edge.
Also, what are people's opinions on the nipples on GT Silver, leave them black or paint match? I'm inclined to paint match.

I agree with others. Definitely get leather interior. I would also get PDLS - dynamic function is cool and the housing inside the light is mostly black vs all silver in regular xenon (black PDLS is all black on the interior)
I'm pretty sure you just need to submit a build right now to save the space. I think its a July delivery or maybe even build which means you have until February/March to change your spec before it locks.
I'm waiting for more pics to pop up here so I can narrow in on what my final build will look like!
Yeah that’s what I figured but I’d rather get it done and forget about it or I’ll overthink it and keep changing. I looked at a bunch of pics and definitely prefer the standard lights on GT Silver. The dark ring on the PDLS is too much for me.
I went back and forth over the leather, but in the end, decided against it. I feel good about my decision. I saw a .2 GT3 at the Seattle Auto Show this week, and it had the fire extinguisher. It didn't look like it would effect the room in front of the seat much. I ordered it on mine. A bit out pf place on a Touring, but you can always remove it.
My 15 gt3 and my 17 c2s have standard interiors and it really just isn’t that nice. I thought I would regret getting leather on my RS given it’s a track rat but man it’s nice on the way to and from the track!

FE definitely not in the way of passenger.
I've had it in previous cars (GT3 and TurboS), but still on the fence with my Touring.
Build looks awesome, excited for you. I would personally add in Bose (love it in my C4), and I am in the minority that I prefer the standard interior to leather, I think it's more durable and doesn't wear as much in my experience.
Add me in as someone interested if you have any other leads on an allocation that might bear fruit!
