New Options in Configurator
Jumped on the web this evening and loaded up my configuration to review. Low and behold there were some new options added today.
So far I see the gloss black wheels and some additional leather, aluminum and carbon fiber options.
I'm already going with the:
18 way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus
Center Console Trim in Leather
Instrument Surround in Leather
Steering Column Casing in Leather
Additional Interior Package, Dashboard in Leather
Leather Interior Package with Decorative Red Stitching
Does anyone have a clear understanding of what the Extended Interior Package, Door Panel in Leather/Alcantara adds?
Is it worth wrapping the backs of the seats in leather also?
Is there any leather option that I'm missing that leaves a significant gap or large plastic surface that I'm overlooking?

Just add it to the configurator and view it in the 3D viewer pane.
Replaces the grey plastic backing and makes it look more "finished" IMHO
plain plastic....
leather....

I think the plastics quality in the 991 is very good, and the biggest bang for the buck in terms of leather options is full leather, followed by extended leather IMO. The stitching and leather spanning the dash looks great, and this is what you see from behind the wheel, which, to me, is what matters most.
The additional leather options get pricey and leather goes in places you normally wouldn't see during driving (like seatbacks). Personally I'd skip the Additional Interior Package as well as Seatbacks, and the other tidbits on the configurator.
Since I'm doing guards red, full leather and red belts, I'm thinking about not doing deviated red stitching for a more subtle interior.
Not sure.

In the end, I will probably go GR, full leather, red stitching, regular belts, and white instruments. Satin black wheels if they ever decide to offer.

I guess I'm so used to red belts in my track car that red (or yellow) belts seem natural in the GT3. I had yellow in my last GT3 as well, but that car was speed yellow.
I think red belts/stitching/dials = too much. Gotta give up one and for me I never liked colored dials anyway.
I recall that that the standard stitch had some deviated color anyway. Gotta swing by the dealer and look.

I’m going Basalt or White exterior, Black wheels, Leather with Red Stitching, Black headlights, Axle Lift, Aluminum Pedals, Sound + Nav, and most of the free stuff (90L Tank, Mats, Net, Smoking Package, etc), and am praying I can add Sport Buckets to this list by the time I order.
In the past I have painted my wheels Matte & Satin black but I think glossy looks good on 911’s so will likely just do that so it’s OEM. Will get Matte or Satin Black track wheels

Now I am confused. I am getting white exterior with the basic bucket seats with the leather option. I thought that also included leather dash and deviated red stitching? I also will get the red seat belts with leather steering wheel.
I asked my dealer to inquire as to whether I can get the color center Porsche caps instead of the GT3 caps with the platinum wheels.

On the configurator you can choose full leather in the seat option box, which will not have deviated stitching. Dev stitching is an upcharge that you choose with full leather, an extra $1490. Full leather has leather dash, but not the entire dash. To get that you have to add in some extra a la carte options.
I keep going back and forth on the alcantara v. leather wheel.
