Sweet build - I think that is the most options I have seen on one car!

FYI, on a mac you can press Command - Shift - 3 to take a screen cap of your desktop. It places an image on your desktop

 

That looks great. The DT and black roof make it really stand out.

 

Photoshop -- it would be interesting to see a white 991 with a black roof including the pillars down to the window line.

I have half an idea the 991 GT3 will resemble this color scheme:

No "inside" information, just a guess that Porsche is experimenting with ways to differentiate its GT models using paint and stickers -- this would be an easy way to separate the GT3 from the Carrera with simpler differences in body bolt-on bits (bumper covers.)

Since you've gone to a lot of expense to improve the cabin trim, I assume you're getting full leather. I'd suggest looking at a couple of 991's and pay attention to the dash trim which is mostly plastic painted with shiny silver paint -- it's not everyone's cup of tea. I'd suggest going with "piano black" (a sort of gloss black) finish or looking at alternatives. I think painted white would look excessive and I don't know what is changed if you go with carbon fiber, but I assume it's still a facade (artificial cover over a plastic trim piece) which you could see in a 997.2 RS to see if you like the look of it on the dash (much the same design.)
The owner's manual explains how to remove the center console trim, so it's pretty easy to have the Porsche dealer remove the cabin trim pieces for an auto paint shop to do whatever you like with replacing the shiny silver if it doesn't appeal over time.

I don't think anyone orders an expensively optioned 911 like this example without some experience, so I assume you know the score -- still, I think it's important to note that while this is going to be a $150K example, it's still going to carry the residual value of the base $90K car. Give or take. So the $50K+ in options will return only pennies on the dollar -- maybe a 30% retained value the day you turn the key for the first time and maybe 10% or 20% after two years. Somewhere in there. Speaking from first hand experience.

ps. Did you take a digital photograph of your computer display? : )
Maybe you were at a Porsche dealer with no easy way to take a computer file off their computer.
To copy the computer display to a file on the desktop, in a Mac it's shift-apple-3 on a Windows PC, it's a mixed bag of ways:

Thanks you guys.

Hoffa and Carrera GT: Thanks for Mac tip. Didnt know that. My build is 136k. I understand the depreciation issue. I just for once want the car exactly the way I like it. I have 9a 97.1 and it will get me 50k now. So I am going to keep it too. As long as I can afford this cars, I decided to "collect" them if garage space permits it. So will see...I drove a 991 for quite a while before coming up with the options.

Regarding the dash/trim: its full leather and I thought that dash trim is Galvanao Silver?

Note that I dropped the PDCC and that saved 4k. I considered a manual but opted for PDK bcos I am keeping my 997 6MT and PDK was so much fun to drive.

 

in the future, if you press

Command (next to space bar) Shift (up to left) and the number 3 it takes a screen shot and saves it to your desktop...

command+shift+4 allows you to screen shot only a section of screen (make a square with touchpad and click to take an image of whatever is boxed.

easier than taking a picture of the actual screen

 

What were the Porsche designers thinking? Black surrounding the glass roof? It makes the car top look like a Prius. Is there an inside sun shade?

 

Just get Captur and take whatever screen shot you want.....

 

Wow, very nice! Price?

 

A Prius, really? Sounds like you need to get your eyes checked!

 

136k. Yes,I dont get the prius comment either!

 

I guess it resembles a couple of those semi-futuristic looking hybrids just in the black roof (as if it's an array of photovoltaic "solar" cells) but I think it looks good ... I think the black and white of that car is going to look distinctive and cut above the average.

 

looks awesome!

 

Great build - she's going to be a beauty. One box I ticked on mine was the smoking package (#583), which is no cost and I think makes the center console look more finished.

 

Yes, REALLY.
