Any Porsche dealer can tell you how many allocations of a particular model are available and who has them, which they can tell you (if you ask nicely).
I have a spot that is about to lock so they are out there. It’s supposed to be a July delivery but it still hasn’t locked so i doubt it will be here in July.
There is is a chance I back out I’ll PM you if I do.
I assume it can be changed? If so do you really want Miami Blue seatbelts? I would add the Smoker's Package to get the cover on the compartment and an extra outlet. There are some little things I would delete and/or add but if it is going to be your car I don't want to influence you, too much!
I have basically had 4 possible builds, all rather similar, but two are no longer options
PTS Oak Green, LTS
PTS Graphite Blue, LTS black leather
Miami Blue, otherwise similar to this build
Lava Orange, otherwise similar to this build
I want a more interesting colour than silver, grey, white, red or a variant. Ideally I'd like the inside to complement the outside. Not sure miami blue and espresso go, and I have 'decided' on very little practical evidence that natural leather is important to me. I might have talked myself into GT silver, white or black, but there are SO many silver, white and black cars in America.
So options narrow.
Seatbelts and deviated stitching colour are both things Im unsure of, not having a chance to really see the combo in the flesh. My last car was a 997.2 C4s with full black leather, silver extended stitching, silver seatbelts, CXX silver mirror lowers & inlet slats in the front, and the huge cursive 'Carerra 4s' down each side in silver. It was great. The decals offset the staidness of the black and made it fun. I'd like to preserve some of the fun, and the specialness in this build.
Ideally I'd like something that was both fun, and sufficiently elegant that it could last a long time and not be entirely embarassing when I need to pretend to be a grown up - hence the graphite and oak, neither of which are an option any more.
That leaves a wrap - but that in turn makes painting the interior vents & bright work a bad call (orange interior! oak green vinyl exterior!) - however, the default plastic silver has always struck me as chintzy, I cant live with polished wood, the brushed aluminium is 'OK' but not thrilling me, and Im worried all leather will be overwhelmingly dark with an espresso interior.
So. First world problems, etc.
I'd be very interested in thoughts on the driving options too - those to add or leave out. I might have ordered a base targa tbh, but the dealer had a c4s and so thats where I am.
I'll take a look at blacking the hoop; that said, I am actually glad there wasnt a GTS build - I really like the elegance of the silver wheels, hoop and possibly seat back if I change my mind and go 18 ways.
The tailpipes you have are too close together and so,to me, are unimpressive and visually bland. I'd suggest the "Sports tailpipes in black."
The wheels you've selected have large and clumsy looking spokes. Carrera S wheels in satin black would fix that.
Black in the exterior trim pieces give the car a meaner, somewhat sinister, appearance. Kind of renegade like. As opposed to colors which go along to get along.

My Targa has the full Espresso interior with no deviated stitching and I covered the brushed aluminum with leather. Here are a few sunlit shots for reference.
Ok, I will throw a few more comments in: If you like color in & out get the Black leather interior, which will work much better than the natural stuff. At the money you are looking at is there a GTS allocation you can get? I originally had a Targa 4S ordered and changed it to a GTS before it locked, which gets you a lot of Blacked-out goodies as well as SC, etc. included.
