You only live once. Consider it a gift to yourself for buying one of the most beautiful cars in the world ..

Being unique wasn't my target or I would have stuck with the blue leather.

But I will continue to be tempted by most of the colors that I did not select including but not limited to yellow. That's human nature, or at least my nature.

I paid more than that to add PSE to my car 5 weeks after I bought it, a used CPO car.

If I was told I could do only one mod to my car.... it would be to add PSE. Once you hear it, you will not regret it.

Yes, I have heard "you will not regret it.........." from quite a few people by now, from the forum and outside, so there must be something more to it that I will see next year! I have heard the sound difference online but I will need to feel it real life before I form an opinion.

Congrats on the pending purchase. Personally, I don't have the intestinal fortitude to purchase a vehicle ahead of test-driving it.

This was last year so not a 991. I saw an order with the blue interior with yellow stitching. Sounds alittle strange - but WOW! - Very striking. He did yellow seat belts, yellow stitching at the doors, dash and rear seats. Also had just the tach in yellow.

I would have not even considered something like this until I saw it. It was incredible - don't remember the outside color (I think it was white).

Good luck on your build.
