Well you can't pick alcantara for the sun visor if you have touring so I'm hoping it's cloth since they seem to have done away with all the other alcantara tid bits in the car.

And just to be a pain, with an alcantara roof lining they wont let you change the belt inserts to alcantara. You can change the sunvisors to leather though.

But wont let you change the tunnel etc to leather ?

Seems to be some odd matches / restrictions.

I went with leather just because it was the only option that wasn't vinyl...

To confirm an answer to an earlier question. Door sills on the touring are black per same black dash trim etc. I had missed the description in the configurator detail.

Decided to pass on touring and just keep my .1 Gt3

Hope i don't regret this decision

Either save money to keep a great car or spend money and have a great-er car

As much as I'm into a wingless GT3, these photos just aren't doing it for me.





Yeah, this does have that E46 M3 look, which I actually liked on that car. Back in my B5 S4 days, that was a nice subtle add on there too. I don't like the look on a GT3, looks like a tacky afterthought.

As someone else mentioned, the standard 991 'overhang' would be much better.




I was hoping for the RS mini ducktail:




The 911R has none of these things, but the rear looks much better. I couldn't place why, but now I realize its the mesh vent:

Yup, the 911R is by far the best of the bunch. Not even close. Porsche you ****sticks, why did you tease us with this perfection and then not make them available to us. You ****ing ****tards. The more I look at R's, the more I want to punch AP in the junk.

The pics you posted here are not the standard .. this is some kind of sport package, I can't remember the name, which creates that little mini-ducktail protrusion.

In the configurator on the interior variations of TP it says the following:

Door sill guards, dashboard trim strips and centre console in brushed aluminium in black
