Agree with swapping the light pk for auto-dimming. PCCBs are a must for me as well.

Congrats OP. You will love it...
The Alcantara visors come with the yellow stickers, but removal only takes about 20 minutes. Plastic bag, isopropyl Alcohol and paper towels does the trick. I know there’s a video posted somewhere about how to do it.

If you don't buy Bose, do you still get apple play, xm radio, etc? Too late for me to delete the Bose, but wondering for future.

I bought my alcantara visors without stickers (euro versions I believe) from Suncoast and installed myself which was easy. Didn’t have to remove the stickers. Cost the same.

I personally find ambient lighting distracting at night which is why I skipped it. Just preference (plus $500+ Saved ). Some people like having the various areas with soft light. It does look sort of cool.

The red dials and stitching will look great. I had it on my 991.1 GT3 and currently on my 991.2 GTS. I would have gotten it on my 991.2 GT3 as well but got platinum grey stitching and grey dial to have something different than my GTS. I say keep all the red. Also keep the light design package, I have it on the GTS and the GT3 and it's nice. Keep the Bose as well. It actually sounds pretty good when you adjust the bass/treble right, even in the GT3. I listen to music all the time, so it's a no brainer option for me.

I'd add PCCBs if you're not planning on tracking it, they feel great and will last forever on the street. And, no brake dust.

Carbon mirrors are cool, I have them on the GTS and GT3 and I'd get them again. Also, add painted side skirts. They look so much better than the cheap looking unpainted plastic. Even on a black car.

Congrats, and good job on the build!

Congrats. I like your build a lot. I too would add the auto dimming mirrors. I think the platinum wheels are simply awesome with JBM. I also love the red interior bits, especially the stitching, tying in the red calipers, but I'm totally OCD with having things match. Red dials are not my thing, but by no means are they a bad call. That's what's nice about ordering a car -- you get it your way.

One question for the group, is there was a way to lose the seat stripes on the winged GT3????

I'm fortunate to have a 2019 Touring on order (Jan build) and went with extended yellow deviated stitching throughout to match the PCCBs (Agate grey ext and 18 ways). Red brakes would have saved me like $18k, LOL.

You lose the seat stripe on winged cars if you spec deviated stitching ($3500) or you can get replacement inserts for ~$1000 to $2500 from various vendors in various fabrics. I think the red stripes work well with red stitching.

Wow, thanks for all the input guys! You've given me lots to chew on. I've got another 24-hours to finalize everything. Will post pics when this beauty arrives.

Looks like we both have March builds... Are you taking delivery at the dealer?

Not sure yet. May get it shipped to my house as it's an out-of-state purchase. But tempting to put the break-in miles on a road trip.

The car is at the dealership! Will be picking it up on Saturday. Picture quality isn't that great but I'm happy with how she turned out!
