Yeah the base carrera gets trim on the door. I bet the vinyl pieces are a direct swap.

G99, don't know where you're based, but in the UK, the leather interior is standard on the T.

From the configurator re. leather: Seat centers in Sport-Tex in black. In black leather: seat bolsters front, headrests front, steering wheel rim, door handles, door panel armrests, center console main storage compartment lid, and gear lever/selector. Package also includes: ‘911’ logo embroidered in black on headrests. C-pillar trims in Alcantara.
This is from the standard black interior. So I’d say partial leather.

Here's a picture of 911-TOUR's car with the Lightweight Glass:
Now, here is a picture (really bad picture, but you can see that the numbers are the same) of the rear glass of a Carrera T WITH Glass Sunroof that is at a dealer in Miami and I asked them to take a picture for me:
Given these pictures, I would say it is not true (at least not for USA) that a Carrera T with Glass Sunroof deletes the Lightweight Glass. Now, I'll go back to counting the days until my T arrives...

My T was delivered today. I'm out camping with Cub Scouts this weekend...but will get a full review+ going as soon as I can get some quality seat time. My first impression was just "Wow". The biggest diff is the shifter - feels way more "race car" than I expected - very, very direct and mechanical. Way, way more direct than my 993. Ergos always drive the impressions, so I suspect this will have an outsize impact on folks opinion of the car. The other major thing I noticed on my inaugural run was the noise from the rear of the car. The lightweight glass really alters the soundscape.

I'll cross-post with the other thread...

That is great to hear about the manual transmission! Am now even more excited to get my T next month (albeit without the lightweight rear glass). Looking forward to more of your driving impressions.

For those on this forum in the U.K., we get the leather interior as standard, so extra leather includes dash top, lower dash, door tops and door centre panels etc.

I've heard Borla—which 20 years ago miraculously made my old Merkur's turbocharged Pinto engine sound good—is working on a system for the 991.2. We've seen some interesting systems from a number of vendors. Bizarrely to me, most target owners of 991.2 w/PSE. I find that funny, as those folks have already spent $3k for PSE and are now asked to spend thousands more. It will be interesting to see which aftermarket companies nail the sweet spot for performance, sound, quality, weight, and price. Would be great if it gives the car a subtle but strong voice, one that's fun to listen to but isn't boy racer or GT3 wannabe. Whichever one does—with the ability to mount factory S tips—will likely get my money.

Great video. I really like Nick Murray's stuff. Not sure about the "sweating like a rapist" comment though... 
I see where he (and you) are coming from with the better look of the four pipe set-up. (Did you add sport tailpipes to your C2, Pete?)
But I am a big kid at heart, and cannot resist the sound of those pops and crackles (in Sport mode) so am glad that my T will have PSE.

Wanted to get some opinions..
Returned my leased 991.1 GTS last November. Was planning to buy it at lease end but unfortunately I got rear ended and it was reported. It was mainly suspension damage and it drove perfectly after it was fixed. Loved that car.. it was a tough decision but I decided to return it.
A dealer bought it and CPO ed it.. sold it.
Anyway my dealer has a configurable T allocation and I'm very tempted but not sure what to expect coming from a 991.1 GTS.
Playing around with the configurator, here's my build. Let me know what you guys think.. debating whether I should go for it or wait for the 992.

Remove:
+ Sunroof
+ Entry & Drive
+ PLDS
+ Light Design Package
+ Alcantara shifter
+ Auto Dimming Mirrors
Add:
+ PCCB
I'd also strongly consider going standard black v. jet black metallic - I've not been as impressed with the depth on JBM cars (which is why a lot of people love black cars).
Hope that helps! Good luck!
