Thank you so much for providing reference pics @Bossing!

You know, sometimes, I wish Porsche didn't bombard us with myriads of choices... Everything looks good and everything feels right (except for some few exceptions).

The dark/black wheels don't show off the beautiful wheel , to my eye with the black tire and black wheel combo never been a fan of the look
much prefer the classic silver cup car look on a white car (obviously)
another benefit to smoking package with the additional 12v plug is the door over opening, my dealer install of the 9500ci system put the read out there , so
one flips the door closed if one is having a visit with your Pal Leo.
looks to be a sweet GT3

oh yea lites should match up wheel finish

Oh gosh... Now I'm torn... When I look at pictures of 911R with Satin Aluminum wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights seems dark and it looked good to me.

This is a 911R with LED Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System and Satin Alumnium Wheels...

Doesn't seem likely. I mean... none of this suggests that contacting Tom is of any value in getting a car.

I was wondering the same thing. Did you notice how in the first like 10 responses to people's criticisms he either restated the website address or the name of Tom McParland? I was getting a chuckle after the third or fourth time he did it, thinking we had another skilled troller working the RL room.

looking at your build - have you seen the transmission tunnel in leather on an actual 911? when I went and saw it I decided to save the $1000'ish $$$ - it's nice if there are back seats, but with the LWBS you'll never see it and no one will ever be back there - the entire trim is behind the seats

good choices on the steering wheel case in leather - you will see/touch that every day

recommend getting the sun visors in something other than "stock" - again this is something you will see/touch most every time your in the car and will regret cheap'ing out…

Funny you say this. I was cursing out my Alcantara ones' because I decided the other day to take off the Airbag stickers on the visors. Used rubbing alcohol, sponge, and mucho paciencia. Was not my first Rodeo doing this but a PIA with the Alcantara. Came out great but took over 30 min each visor.

I appreciate your helpful suggestions. You know, I was just calling Porsche to see whether "Steering Column Casing in Leather: XNS" comes with platinum grey stitching like the example picture on the configuration. I've been getting conflicting answers from the dealers and it would be a great help if you know. Otherwise, I'm just gonna take it off since, I really don't wanna pay $3500 to get Interior trim package with decorative stitching and embroidery in deviated thread... That would be horrible.

I saw Matt Moreman's thread on removing the warning sticker! It still leaves marks, but I would like the cleaner look.

Unless any of you expert internet detectives have any evidence (not anecdotal nor inferences) that support a claim that the OP is not who he says he is, I'm going to suggest you welcome him here and treat him with respect.

If he's not who he says he is, well, have at it. In the meantime, let's stop the piling on, please.
