Love the spec and I am a big fan of the brushed aluminium! Plenty of carbon fiber in there already with the buckets (remember sides are carbon as well) so I'd go for the brushed aluminium. All personal choices though

See you're having fun at Sebring.

Op, great spec. White car with all necessary stuff. I can't stand black wheels. So good choice on silver or Titan wheels.
Thank you. The feedback I got from the local GT3 owner with Titanium wheels is brake dust. Satin finish wheels don't come with clear coat, they'll look yucky quick.

The platinum wheels on my .1GT3 always looked dirty. I am going with silver wheels with Racing Yellow exterior. I hate black wheels. They look so contrived. Its not a big deal for me to wipe down the wheels after a drive. They always looked clean when I did this with my Ferrari's.

^^ I've never been a fan of black wheels either but I had them on my white GT3 (gloss) and now the RS (satin). They actually look really good.

I plan to pay the local shop to powder coat them Volks Bronze, I'm a huge fan of bronze on white cars.

My GTS had OEM satin black, I had to wash it every week. Frustrating.

Janosol, budgeting options
I have the light design option probably not very necessary, easily nixable , and the auto wiper , mirror
dimming deal I do not have on my build and there is no lever on the rear view to flip and never notice
rear glare at night , as far as wiper on off I prefer controlling that function anyway. Just a $1300 thought to ponder.

Maybe the mirror /wiper option worthy of a Q . to Magic 8 Ball for clarification

Stay with the White dials. Much more of a sportier look.

I find the white dials much hard to read on track ! Takes me longer to get the info I want from them than the stock ones. Don't know why, maybe my eye-brain combo perceives the white version as more garbled, more difficult to filter and interpret ?

For the mirrors, the auto dimming is also on the side mirrors. Without this option I find the side mirrors annoying at night. Yes you can flip the lever on the center mirror, but the sides have to be adjusted. I could do without the auto wipers.

Since I changed my exterior color to GR with GR trim interior, I dropped the white dials. The black dials look better with GR trim.

^^^Agree.
White dials are okay, but in my opinion only on certain exterior colours.

Thanks. Off topic:

I'm hearing mixed reviews from the GT4 owners with the 918 bucket seats. I would say 60% of them hate it. Mine will be driven 4-5 times per week and only track 4 weekends a year. Thoughts?
