White dials? Why not go all in with yellow dials? Also, painted slats I think look better than painted vents if you are going for color.

It's all personal preference....I like the vents rather than the slats.
Also, no option on U.K. Configurator for yellow dials, but I think that might be too much yellow! (And I like the clarity of white revcounter)

Weissach Pack means no painted interior anyway, so that's the thing I have to decide first.

+1, painted vents look better than painted slats IMO.

To each his own. I do like how the painted climate control fills in the "skateboard" in color on your build.

This is a personal taste choice. I wouldn't listen to anyone, except may be your better half.

I'm going with just black brushed aluminum, but think Miami blue painted interior looks amazing.

The painted vent slats on my RS turned out better then anticipated. Really livens up an otherwise rather dull interior.

Nobody has every divorced on RL but some bans have occurred. I'd say RL advice > better half advice

I probably have been married longer than you, CJ. Better half could mean a lot more, kids? I will concede color any day for happy life, as long as a gt3 is part of it.

Btw: I just turned 40, but have been blessed with 3 kids, all boys. Have to work hard....

I looking to get a gards red gt3.2 991. This is what I would like for my interior. LWB with red stripe requires deviated red stitching plus leather interior. Red belts. Red marker on steering wheel. Painted red trim is a no cost option. Plus I would be tempted to go all in with red dials for the cluster and sport chrono. Hey it's a gt3 right? I put the painted and non painted photo for comparison purposes. What do you think? I just think the painted interior trim just sets it appart.

That's a lot of red. Did you consider CF trim?
