Phil, three things catch my eye on your build. 1. I see you ordered the pccb's. Very interesting since you said you're tracking a lot. 2. Air vents painted, curious what colour? 3. And finally, the yellow belts show $0. I didn't realize yellow belts were a no charge on the RS. Nice build by the way. The agony still continues.
1. PCCB's - first...I wanted yellow calipers! (Lol
)Second, I'll likely replace the discs with Girodisc's within the first year. I could also consider having the discs refurbished for approx $4k. Lastly, I loved the PCCB's on my 3 and they are amazing on my current Cayenne Turbo S.
2. Air vents: (not the slats) will be painted the color of the car: white. So from the inside it will just be the small strips of trim that will be visible. But with the doors open, you'll be able to see the full side of the driver and passenger's vents. I've seen pictures of this and really like how it looks.
3. Seat belts: yeah....it was a nice surprise for sure! Though, we all know....we pay for it somewhere!!!!

So far I'm still heavily leaning towards the original yellow one I posted.
Which, by the way is the culmination of LOTS of renderings and changes over the past 1.5-2 months.
Though, I'm meeting with my designers this weekend and we are going to 'play' with a green and yellow concept.

$1,720.00 (why painted air vents), i think it looks to busy. I spent the 7K on deviated stitching and it makes a world of difference, its so nice in my RS i take naps in it while parked!!,or sit in it to think!! I fit the carbon bucket seats perfectly and it feels good on my back. The RS is on a whole different level than i have ever experienced. I test drove the Lambo Huracan, felt horrible..-I got it bad for 911's.

When it's just the vents all you see while in the car is the trim (normally silver) around the outside. When the door is open you see more of the color on the sides, but 'busy' isn't the most accurate description. Either way, I like it.
PLUS....the seat belts and door pulls can be changed. Stiching....? Nooot so easily. Lol.) This ability allows me to change up the accent colors. The silver stiching can really go with any highlight color.
Actually, I think the stitching (while I like it) is more likely be construed/described (by some) as 'busy' more so than the painted vents. But then again, that's just my opinion.
Either way, your UV beast is gorgeous! Glad to see and hear your enjoying it!

I think the painted vent slats are a great option. adds some color to an otherwise rather dull and dark interior. Plus, the added stitching really stands out. Good choice!
I added them to my build, but took it a step further by doing them in Guards Red to match the seat belts and door pulls; ties in with calipers as well since getting steels.

I've has Sirius in every car for years as I enjoy it and the weather info. But you make a point..... Can you expand on the cell streaming options?
I worked in telecom for 15 years. Now in IT enterprise software. It was always my understanding that satellite bandwidth was superior to cell. Especially now with all the cellular devices and the carriers still behind the 8-ball.
Either way, interested in your perspective.
Thanks Nate.

Thanks man. I'll do my best to appreciate it and be a good steward for the RS!

I'm going to definitely at a minimum incorporate yellow into the design....but will be 'playing' with some new ideas/colors tomorrow it's my designers.
And I can also change the belts / door pulls fairly easily which gives me future flexibility.
