p.s. ventilated seats are really nice. Even just driving in the rain last night, top-up, had them on low and was in such comfort could not believe it.

Cheers on such a great feedback! This is extremely helpful.
Removed rear view mirror leather
Added Steering wheel column leather
Sport technos painted black are Expensive!! Gotta go with something else
I actually had ventilated seats in Premium Package Plus with Adaptive Sport Seats Plus...not sure why it didn't show up!!
Yep, couldn't agree more, got ventilated seats!
Aluminum trim removed!
Thanks Eduardo. I looked at Espresso interior car over the weekend and verify everything you said is correct. I've decided to forego the leather mirror but am seriously considering steering column in leather!
I agree with you but this is one of my preferred options being an audiofile.. can't let it go!!
Naa... I think it's not practical in non-track everyday driving...you've gotta rev engine high to make use of it...not worth spending the money IMHO...
Agreed... but IMO contrast works and for some reason GT Silver with Espresso does work better..again..IMO...
Great feedback... I actually followed it almost entirely...getting everything you said (silver belts too!) other than the fusebox cover...not sure if it's really worth spending extra $380??
Agreed. Thanks for posting.This is helpful!
PCCB is so freakin expensive..besides I won't take it to track (perhaps once or twice)....but I do agree about the combo though!
Your dials are black except the tach which is in grey, correct? I think the white sports chronic will clash...
Also, why rear view mirror in leather but not sun visors or steering wheel column?
Finally, I'd choose Sports Design steering wheel over multifunction (personal taste)... Looks sportier and cleaner.
Just my two cents.
Did you consider the Sport Technos painted black instead? They are half black and half silver and may look sweet on your GT Silver with the black plastic pieces on the car.

Great package. All personal choice and I suggest doing what makes to grin. I would add ventilated seats - never had them before and would always have them in the future.
and delete the white face for the sport chrono and seriously consider the sport techno wheels, which are a bit wider with wider tires in the rear. The picture shown has them with the alum window trim and sure looks sweet.

The first question I have for you will be if you know the color of the rear view mirror if you don't order it in leather? If it's standard 'black' plastic, then you should consider it if you want a coordinated look above the dash.
The sunvisors in your 991 should come in colored vinyl 'Espresso' and the 'A' pillars should be in 'Espresso' colored Alcantara. Color coordination to match these two elements is the only reason to go with this expensive option leather covered mirror option! I have this option on my '12 Spyder in 'Carrera Red'. The leather is very thin & smooth, tightly covering the rear view mirror so efficiently that many would think it's painted on! I love the look personally! If I had not order this option, my rear view mirror would have been done in 'Black' textured plastic!
Good luck with your order!

I'm puzzled why anyone would spend 5 grand on a soundsytem for a car that engineeers spent countless hours making the engine sound so intoxicating? I hardly ever turn my stereo on while I'm driving, and I admit the Bose set-up sounds pretty damn good. When I'm cleaning the car in the garage with the engine turned off, that's another story.
Turn the radio off and keep the tach over 3000 RPM! Now that's the sound you're paying for right there.... Included in the window sticker price, no less.

Thats a fantastic build.
Wheels in platinum look great, but imo they wouldnt go with the chrome trim surround, you need some shine in your wheels to match. dark wheels = Dark trim.
Sport chrono in white is a nice touch, just stay away from red or yellow, including colored seat belts, they belong in a GT3.
Silver is my fav when it comes to exterior colors, IMO Platinum Silver matches an expresso interior just perfect, look at the video posted above.
GT silver is not as warm as PS, it has a slight blue hint and it would match a black/gray/red/blue interior better.

Nice build, my .02...
Dump the chrono face in white, won't look good.
I don't like the Platinum wheels on a silver car,...and not with Al window trim. Leave them silver.
Add steering column in leather, this I would take over the mirror any day. Getting into the car your eyes will see this first, not the mirror. Both would be fine of course, but the mirror is pretty $$$ for what you get.
Adding fuse box covers in leather would be nice, they should be black plastic otherwise.
Add silver seat belts,....these look great with Espresso and tie in the exterior. Trust me on this one!
Good luck with it!

I get a lot of compliments on the espresso natural leather interior, I think you'll love it. It looks, feels and smells really nice. Your car will be fabulous 
P.S. enclosing pics of a black-dial Sports Chrono against the espresso interior if that will help..also a shot of the plastic covers on the espresso sunvisor mirrors. I wish mine were leather, that would be so awesome. Plus I'm glad I at least have the Bose audio, but mostly listen to the PSE instead unless I'm cruising in 7th gear on the highway.

Your spec looks STUNNING ! What was behind your decision to go for GT Silver instead of Platinum ? I would have thought that Expresso interior would go best with Platinum due to the subtle brownish tint of Platinum.
