For me, they were: SPASM, PCCB, SportTechno Wheels, Sunroof Delete and Sport Design Steering Wheel. PSE as well, but I found a car without it and added it after.

Let the hating begin:

1. PDK, I love it
2. entry and drive; totally spoiled for it now, a deal breaker without it
3. must be at least an S, and I have no reason besides I just want it that way
4. must be any color except black or silver
5. leather ventilated seats, because it's Texas, nuff said.

Adaptive sport seats
PCCB
PDLS+
Burmester
Sport Design steering wheel

I sometimes wish I had the factory aerokit. PAS is a nice option too. I had factory leather sun visors and fuse box cover in my 997 turbo, and those would be nice to have in the 991.

The list is even easier when ordering a 991.2. All you need is full leather, manual, and the PowerKit.
