Wasn't it the Dude* who said, "That rug really tied the room together"? Change the dials to black, the belts to silver, the model to GTS, add Sport, and ditch the sunroof. Thank me next year when you realize how tired you are not getting of looking at that yellow dial.

my last car had a yellow tach. Never was tired of it.
Why black dials and silver belts?
cant get. 4GTS. But I can build a 4S the same way.

I have already ditched the sun roof.
I can't get a 4GTS allocation (supposedly there is only one in US)
Now I'm questioning yellow dials and belts. - My last car had yellow tach, but the other dial was black and LCD. I like the contrast tach.
You think there is just too much yellow with all the dials? All black looks a little boring.
You think yellow seat belts are just too loud?
I saw a 4GTS with yellow belts and GT Silver stitching and it look very nice, but I'm only seeing for short time.

Your choice of the PowerKit is smart. Proven. Integrated. Warranty.

Chuck911 has never driven a 991. He only posts about them on RL. His post count is mainly driven about BitCoin.

My order is in and looking at any fine tuning to looks.
I think I have a nice build and think I will be very happy.
I will drive this car all year round and I live in MN. I will track 2 to 3 times a year.
I think the build is pretty awesome. Post here to double check. All recommendations are appreciated. I have a lot to learn about Porsche.

The only thing that I would hesitate on would be the GT silver stitching with the yellow. I would go with black (non-deviated) or perhaps yellow deviated stitching (which would look GREAT).
At the end of the day, you have to spec it the way you want it and not what others want. I am sure it will look fantastic! Post pics when you get it. Your build is awesome!

Most people refuse to get PCCBs due to clashing SY and RY, but instead contrasting RY w/ red irons. If it doesn't bother you I think the CXX is a nice touch.

Your build looks awesome, if it is exactly what you want and like, go for it and don't worry too much whether others like it or not. I would go with the GTS personally, but if it's not available, it's a moot point, and your car will be very similar in any case.
You would not believe how many people (and most of them not even particularly Porsche fans) have commented on how classy my yellow seat belts look matched to my PCCBs on Meteor Gray Metallic exterior with Espresso interior.
