Default GT silver Touring trim and lights help

Hi all,
I was informed that my original GBM selection won't be available so I have chosen to go with GT silver. Now I'm wrestling with two issues.

I'm planning to go with silver wheels and PCCB

1. Which trim? I saw a 991.1 silver trim and it looked painted and kind of cheap. Does the touring look the same?

2. Which headlight? Silver LED or PDLS xenon? Which lights with which trim given silver wheels?

I had my doubts about silver trim on gt silver until I saw some pics recently.

Thanks for your help!

Saw a GT Silver with Silver trim and Wheels couple of weeks ago in Atlanta - looks good and elegant.... my choice though would be dark trim and grey wheels with Silver body color...

That's the car that got me thinking about silver trim, what do you think about black trim, silver LED, silver wheels?

Went to the dealer and saw a GT silver 4S with silver led and silver trim...stunning! GT silver looks darker than in photos. I'd say silver trim would be too much on rhodium but on GT silver it's very elegant.

I’m generally a big fan of silver wheels and for touring the silver chrome trim. But GT Silver is probably the one paint color on which I don’t think it works. There’s just not enough contrast.

Black wheels are overdone but could look good. Platinum wheels and black exterior trim look great on a GT Silver GT3. That’s how my 991.1 GT3 was...

Darker headlights look better on a GT Silver car. The PDLS xenons look very good and are much cheaper than the black LEDs and look better too IMO.
