Congrats. After you do research and make your first choice, the first choice is always the right choice. The first choice is a good balance between logic and desire, heart and mind. Later choices will skew one way or the other, with a less desirable result. I've found this to be true not just in cars, but in life. And I'm already an old fart. LOL. I made my build and submitted it back in July, haven't looked back since, arriving next month (fingers crossed). Whatever choices you make, you'll love the car.

Yes you have a looong time to think about the changes. I got my January 2018 allocation in mid September 2017 with a freeze date in mid November 2017. The production date got moved to December 4, 2017 so I didn't have too much time to think about the changes. It was originally configured as GT Silver with 6 spd manual, 18 way seats, iron brakes, leather interior in platinum, front axle lift, Bose, brushed aluminum trim, guards red seat belts, lighting package, and rain sensing wipers/self dimming mirrors. Next I changed the color to Carrara White metallic though I seriously contemplated Guards Red. Then I went big with carbon buckets, PCCB, carbon fiber interior and door sills, and yellow seat belts to match the pccbs. I then took the carbon fiber trim off because I felt it was too shiny. Finally I put it back on and didn't think about changing it again. I did contemplate making other changes but opted to leave well enough alone and let the car be built as is. The completed car is about to hit San Diego on 2/14 or 2/15 and then up to Benicia 2 days later. Hope to get the car next week and hope I have no regrets.

The 991.2 GT3 is the first Porsche I got to spec myself. I just kept changing my spec for a month till the day I was told my order is locked.
