Just got my order in and confirmed. Completion first week of December (hope it pulls in). I went a little crazy as this is to be a long term car for me, but here is my build PKX1WUG5Wanted the Sport Design rear, but not the front, so I'll do that via Suncoast at a later date. She'll also get a tune at some point well after break-in so that the performance matches the braking power 
I cannot wait, it's going to be a long 5-6 months, especially since I already traded my '12 R8 V10. No toys this fall - what will I do!?!?!?

Really nice build. My only comments are:
Power Steering Plus: Unless you are 70+ old, I would not get it. It just adds an artificial over-boosted steering at low speeds. Try it out first without it, as it feels very well balanced. If not, you can just add it via software from your dealer.
Steering wheel and shifter in Alcantara: If you are absolutely in love with them, absolutely go for it, but bear in mind they match nothing else in the cabin. That option is there for when you add the bucket seats with Alcantara seat centers, so they all match.
Burmester: I had doubts if I should add Bose when I placed my order. After receiving the car and driving it over 3,000 miles, I think I should've saved the money and just order the base sound. You will want to hear the engine/PSE first and foremost. The rest of the time the car is noisy enough that I doubt there is a significant difference in sound between base, Bose and Burmester.
And congrats on your order!

I think I definitely want the Burmester though, even at it's inflated price. While I agree that I will almost never use it around town, this car will do a little touring, so it will be nice on highway drives. Just like the PCCBs, I won't ever need to upgrade it.My biggest question is still color. While I love black, I have had a black car before and know the kind of fun exterior maintenance can be. Although with the new ceramic coatings, this should be a little less (maybe a lot). My other color choices are Carrara White and Red. And then of course to pick the right interior to go with it. I love the interior I picked though so will try to stick there - not sure if it really goes with a Guard Red car though.
I am also on the fence on the LEDs. Nothing wrong with Bi-Xenon and it saves $2700. I'll probably drop the extra Dashboard Trim in Leather ($1,770) as well. Not really needed.

Thanks for the notes! I only added the Power Steering Plus because my SA was so adamant about it. That and I am coming out of an R8 that sure could have used it. I'll definitely check on it.

Regarding the leather dashboard, I can tell you that I LOVE deviated stitching, but the Carrera T Leather package already has a ton of leather and dev stitching. Now, I would definitely keep the wheel column option in leather, it looks fantastic and it is a bargain -relatively speaking- for how nice it looks.

I hear you about the LED's, as they are expensive. Since mine is GT silver, I was able to get the regular LED's with the dark gray surround that looks great with GT Silver, but would look weird with Black exterior, so if you want LED you may have to end up paying the extra cost.

Also, if anybody plan to add radar detector, get the mirror dim option as it add the extra power to rear view mirror for easy installation of the radar detector.
