Default My 991.2 GT3 build. Opinions?

I currently have a 2015 991 GT3 and got an allocation for a 991.2 GT3. Car should be coming Feb 2018 and I still have a few days to change the build.

Here is my build:
https://www.porsche.com/microsite/po...px?c=/PJ7F7PF5

What do you think? (might be a bit over the top). I am still debating PDK vs manual, but decided to go manual.

Nice build:

-Not a fan of the Alcantara Seat belt stuff

- Keep in mind that these Painted Keys chip big time. Make sure you take off the painted ones and put on some black ones ect and store the painted ones. It always pisses me off how bad they chip so never tick this box

Good points. I almost called the dealer to re-spec. Lol.

I think its a great build. I did a very similar one but I actually decided against the PCCB, other than that is very similar. Congrats!

Agree 100%. buy the cheap plastic ones on Amazon, they don't chip and still look good. Porsche OEM ones, hate to say, are complete crap.

Yeh was debating PCCB or not, but decided to go with PCCB. I can always put on gyro disks later and retain bigger calipers.

Nice build.

I would not do red stripe steering when you are getting yellow belts but that is me. Glad the belts match your calipers and two colors is enough (chalk/yellow theme) also agree on no alcantara on seat belt opening and not a fan of the CF mirrors. Other than that build is solid.

Nice build! Congratulations

I spec'd mine out without any alcantara hence going with the touring package. I love the way way it looks but when it wears, it dates the car a lot.

Yeh alcantara on seat belt opening may be a bad idea -- will wear fast. I will change it. Thank you all for feedback.
