Nice! Hope the Racing Yellow stitching on black leather in my T looks as good!

Cool thread, I'll play with my C4 (I did not spec myself):

Love:
Black LEDs (look killer)
20 RS Spyder Wheels (look killer, PITA to clean)
Bose (sounds great to me)
PSE (hate the farts on overrun, but I like the centered look of it)
Sport Chrono (you get the cool manettino on the steering wheel)
Sport Design Mirrors (IMO these are a must have for the looks)
Standard interior (no leather for me, much easier to clean and wipe down, less headache)
Model designation deletion (it looks soooo much cleaner with just the "Porsche" script against the C4 lightbar)
Ventilated/heated seats (work well for me)

Don't like:
Entry & Drive. I actually miss putting a key in the ignition and using the actual key rather than just turn the nub in the ignition....
Fire extinguisher - thankfully no God forbid moments where I needed it, and just a bit overkill on a base C4 IMO..

Wish it had:
Carbon fiber interior pack (dont like the shiny standard aluminum)
Carbon fiber door sills (don't like the standard tiny alu sills)
Carbon MF steering wheel
Porsche crest in headrest (would look cool)

Happy it doesn't have:
SPASM - I already scrape the lip (admittedly I am not that cautious with the car and take my time to slow down all the time), so SPASM would exacerbate this...

Overall really happy with my 991.2 and the options. Unfortunately it seems like $15-20k in options is now the "standard" for the 991 but money well spent IMO.

Your GT3 will be even lower than a car with SPASM!

If you are getting a manual transmission in your T, see if you can get the the transmission boot with yellow deviated stitching. Some models have the deviated stitching there... and some do not. Mine, obviously, is missing it and was a bit of a surprise to all when it arrived without it. It is worth asking!

We are all anxious to see your pictures!!!

Not sure if covered but I am so happy with the 'Front Axle Lift'.

My car has SPASM and I don't always have to go up driveways and bumps suuuuuuper slow or at a big angle. Pop the button while slowing down, car lifts and over I go. Then it's up to me weather I want to keep the front lifted or let the car do it by itself when I go over 35 (manual says 34mph but it engages/disengages around 38-40.

When I pull up in my steep driveway I leave the car parked with the front axle lifted. That way when I hop back in I don't have to unnecessarily lift it back up.. Just pull out of the drive way and off I go. Car does the rest.

Why would you not want that mirror? I have often wondered why Porsche doesn't make self dimming mirrors standard.

And that option includes the self-dimming outside mirrors, which are a godsend.

Premium package has some "must have" equipment, PDLS, dimming mirrors, power seats, power steering column, 14 way power seats and heated seats. It would be silly to spend 100 grand and not have those features.

Hi. Yes, getting the manual.

Have looked at a few videos online of the T interior and haven't seen any with deviated stitching around the gear lever... Will love the car nonetheless!

I dig those black sport design mirrors on your yellow car. Well-done!

Cheers! Not my actual car, but mine will be identical to this one! Mirrors are Agate Grey, and I agree, they look great, as do Titanium Carrera S wheels!

And to be clear, since sometimes people don't know, the Sport Design mirrors DO fold, they just aren't power folding.
