Default 991.2 RS build - anything important missing?

Wondering if I missed anything important. Sport Chrono is meh, right? Also, I do not need to separately order green belts - they are green by default with the green interior package?

Very nice build. I see you selected the sun visors in alcantara so why not add seat belt openings in alcantar? Otherwise they are an eyesore (IMO). I also thought there was an extended leather section for the door panels and tunnel. The leather tunnel isn't a must but I like it leather.

I’d do leather/painted vents over the dashboard trim package, but that’s just taste.

Agree. Having the door on the console completes the look. That open space without the door isn't big enough for anything useful; and anything you would put there will just scratch up the plastic trim.

Also agree on the belt outlets in Alcantara trim. It is a nice touch.

Yes - your belts will default to LG with the LG extended leather option along with the door pulls.

If your car is a US build the Alcantara Sunvisors will come with ugly stickers, I always buy Alcantara sunvisors without the stickers from Suncoast and have them installed after delivery. Gives it a cleaner look I prefer. The Alcantara seatbelt housing are also a very nice addition really completes the look of the upper interior. The lizard interior really works well enjoy!

Yeah, we get stickers on visors on Canadian cars too, but isopropyl alcohol soaking takes care of those just fine. Suncoast is almost 2.5x the price, so I'd rather spend 10 minutes tinkering in my garage. I'll probably add smoker's package. I have it in my other cars but wanted to maybe try without and see what happens :-).

Get the smokers package. My last two 991 did not have it and the empty coin tray is useless and collects dust. Smokers package looks much cleaner and added bonus of additional 12v outlet for 0 charge.

i never got them perfect.
Didnt realize they are double the price but ordered plain, path of least resistance.

on purple I had them, sold them and bought sticker liberated ones from Mooty.

Smoker package - yes
Very similar to mine:

I echo the smokers package. I just put one in mine as I like to put the V1 radar stick there, with hidden display. The parts from Suncoast were $300, and 2 hours labor at Porsche... So damned expensive to fix what was a "free" option...

Just got my allocation moved to January. F-k - no ED then. I may be able to move it to April at the latest. Is April late enough to drive Spa and others in the area without winter tires? Definitely too cold for mountain passes, though.
