The last check of the option list

I never really thought why Porsche did not offer the upgraded stereo. I guess it would be a real waste of money if over 65 mph you could not hear it any way. I am glad they did not offer and waste ~$5000.

qbix, the turn signals are not in the headlight module. They're located in the horizontal fixture below the headlight module; the turn signals are in the top half of the fixtere and the LED driving lights are in the thin strip on the bottom. BTW, the turn signals look clear and only show amber when they are activated.

Interesting. My current 991S has clear tails, and clear turn signals? I'm confused if you order clears on the GT3 why would the turns not be clear? Hate to sell my 7 speed manual in a few months when the beast arrives. 3200 miles sucks no garage space or I would keep it.

Make sense ......,odd the dealer did it on my 991S, and there was no up charge. It was not on the invoice that's why I assumed it arrived to the dealer as such. Thanks.

The piece that I changed out (got it from Suncoast) was the original side marker light with the reflective amber lens required in the US. The new clear lens ROW side marker has an amber LED which does the same job as the original although the lens itself is no longer reflective. FWIW, the side marker also flashes amber in conjunction with the turn signal.

Thank you for your inputs!
That was a silly question about the turn indicators. I thought that with the xenon lights the turn inditator is just underneath the xenon projector inside the lamp.
Anyway I just discovered that Porsche xenon PDLS are a touch dimmer than the regular xenons which are plain silver. That gives another option to consider.
LEDs are actually growing on me as I think they look futuristic and would add value to my car and once the facelift versions are introduced the car won't look a bit outdated. That is however only my opinion. 2000EUR over the base PDLS is a lot of money though!
I am still hesitating whether to check the privacy glass box. I like the clean look of the car and I am not a fun of privacy glass on this particular model but mine is going to be clubsoprt and though that I could hide the cage a bit.

Curious as to how you determined that and why you think that would be. AFAIK, the lighting itself is identical; only the aiming mechanism is different. Maybe the light scatter off the silver/chrome interior surface of the standard lights makes them appear brighter when looking at them, even though the actual illumination of the road is (or should be) identical.
