Awesome build. A few suggestions.

-Ditch the red seatbelts, or change to red stitching.
-Don't do black headlights with silver wheels
-Model delete
-Painted side sills look off, particularly on white, because the front and rear trim is still black. Unharmonious.

Just my two cents.

IMO, the Side Skirts Painted Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur are what I'd drop. The black accents theme that continues all the way around the car is interrupted.
Just my 2 cents...

I debated the skirt due to the black front and rear interruption.......skirt comes off...................won't go red stitching due to my Cayenne having the GTS red trim alcantara interior and wanted something different since 14 V8 CGTS is a keeper.......have to check out lights option again - if you don't check any light options - what do you get?........thought red belts would work to pick up the red brakes, but maybe better with silver belts......getting close now...............

Red stripe on the steering wheel would be nice with the red belts. Ditch the BOSE. Otherwise look great!

If you specify nothing in the headlight department you get what may be the most attractive of them all... clear xenons.

I'm over LEDs. Sometimes I like them, sometimes blah. I certainly think the xenon 4 light config looks sharp when lit. And the single round lens on the top looks excellent and clean.

I'm a nut about matching wheels with headlights but this is just my OCD behavior speaking. Many people are of the belief that they don't need to match. No correct answer except for your own.

On a white car with silver wheels, black headlights will sort of stick out like a sore thumb.

It's like having clear headlights on a black car with black wheels.

(Unless you want them to stick out, doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.)

agree with dropping side skirts painted; looks odd and they will get destroyed/chipped with heavy use

red belts are awesome, get red stripe on steering wheel to match

bose seems pointless to me, but I like engine noise not music

good simpls build with all the basics; an easy resell build

Have to go check out base headlight which should be similar to the ones on my Cayenne GTS Bi-Xenons in silver. If I go with base silver rimmed lights will stick with colored headlight washers in white with the silver wheels - good tip. Addicted to BOSE everything, but thanks as engine will be the main music...did not want expense of PCCBs if I track more than expected and reds are great for slowing down too..........added alcantara seat belt pillar outline when I saw that Suncoast has the carbon fiber leather trimmed floor mats for $ 760 versus $ 960, so savings on mats subsidizes that.......

nice spec, standard wheels on white car, i like it.
skip chrono.
check out the aluminium trim in pictures, is much lighter then configurator would suggest: if you don't like change to carbon or leather.

US LED's suck cause of some rule, EU LED's are fuppin' amazing, razor sharp beams of daylight.

I think the black headlights only look good with black wheels and black trim for consistency, and even still I'm not a huge fan.
