i would suggest u try the buckets before u commit. They do look gorgeous but are not for everybody. The alternatives, derisively referred by many hereas "sofas," are actually quite good especially if intend your car as a DD or taking longish trips.

Never regretted auto wipers don't drive in the rain, and it easy to hit the stalk. The wing blocks bright lights behind you, and tint does the trick. Agree with full leather on a car that's north of 100k. When I open the door I get rave reviews on the interior, and agree it's personal choice. I use the lift no less than 10 times when I'm out on drives in my area so it works for me. Buckets are a hit, but not comfortable for my driving habits. Best of luck!

Mine is ordered and very similar, but without the buckets and with PCCB.

Surprised no discussion on the PCCB, really have my mind set on that $9k+ option.....

I'll be curious to hear when you are going to Zuffenhausen. My understanding is that all slots (for either pickup location) are taken through October unless you use one of 2 remaining slots in a Porsche Travel Club tour on Sept 9.

I think everything that is needed on a GT3 u have ordered. I have to disagree with whoever not getting the auto dimming mirrors.. Drive ur car at night with out them and have a car sit behind u for a minute or two and u would wanna just shoot urself in the head. I did drive a few cars that did not have them and it is not fun at all.

+1 - I would be happy if it was just the auto dimming mirrors as I don't like the rain sensing wipers myself, but get it for the mirrors. The wing actually makes the glare worse in my opinion as its less consistent.

My sense is that folks generally go steel, there is little practical day to day advantage of the PCCBs that justify their cost, but I still spec'd them on my car.

Full leather definitely, other than that perfect. I actually saw today for the first time the steering wheel in leather vs. the alcantara that I have and I wished my steering was in leather. Really liked it in leather.

You just tip the mirror up a little, old school but very easy...

Leather steering wheel is much nicer imo. And certainly easier to clean. Some like the stickier grip of Alcantara, though.

Great build. I'm with everyone else on the full leather. 150k car should have leather over vinyl. Other then that I like the Pccb just for the fact no brake dust. I'm not sure if I was building I would flip the bill on them though.

Full leather all the way. I almost had a panic attack when I was flying down to pick up my car and was reading through old emails with screenshots of my order before added leather. It really makes the car feel very premium all around.

As for LWBs, Getting in and out is definitely more of an event than the sport seats.
