Default 991.2 GT3 Options. Which do you regret?

If you could order your car again, which options would you add and which would you delete?

Glad I have: Touring (silver), FAL, Large fuel tank, fire ext, Bose, heated 18-ways, freebies (net, smoking, floormats), free interior, LED PDLS Lights

Meh: Silver seatbelts, auto-dim-mirrors, Voice control, Sport Chrono, Light design (Not sure what it even does)

Love the base interior, but I've never seen the "Touring leather interior", and realize I might be in for some envy if I ever do.

I regret not taking my second allocation and building a Touring to go with my winged beast!

My only regret is that the Clubsport option (free when ordering LWB’s in RoW) is not offered in USA

I waffle, but I sort of wish I did full leather with the leather door/dash/console and then bought the wood dash and **** from suncoast to go with my wheel. 1,000,000 911 style. I was very close to ticking a bunch of leather boxes (leather vents and slats, extended dash, the little door bits) to get it to look like I wanted, but I just could not justify it for the stock Porsche leather.

I am sure if I got full max leather I would say I should have gone rubber dash ....

Autodim is a disappointment because of the undimmed rings, but I would still get it. Fire extinguisher is doing a great job protecting ... my closet. Still would get it. Base stereo is crap, but so is bose.

Smokers package is pretty worthless, but then again, maybe I will have a passenger who wants to plug something in at some point.

At least it was free. To me, the little cover/door was better than a tiny, uncovered hole. Not sure what use it would ever have had...

I love the rubber dash (hated the leather ones I had before - especially once they start cracking in the sun...)

I just wonder if there is maybe some nicer door trim with the base leather option.

DB carbon sells the spears which cover the door trim in carbon fiber. A friend and fellow RL member bought them and they look good — match the factory. I just don’t like carbon fiber.

I am happy with the rubber dash. I just get leather envy every time I see a maxed out CXX interior.

I don’t know. I suppose the rubber cubby would be nicer for small stuff as nothing fits in the ashtray. The storage is absolute crap in the car. My 993 has way more space to put stuff like the back of the console bin and the opening door bins which are much bigger than on the GT3.

Regret speccing sport chrono on my manual Touring. Breaks up the clean line of the dash and has zero function for me.

No regrets! What’s up with the auto dimming mirror other people regret?

No regrets on what I ordered, got everything I wanted.
Perhaps the only (minor) regrets is on what the GT3 (Touring) did not offer that I had ordered (and some came standard) on my 991.2 TTS; things like: Keyless entry, blind spot warning, auto dimming headlights, heated steering wheel. No biggies though.
