Also have you thought about the ducktail sport design aerokit ... that looks FANTASTIC!

and ...

honestly, throw out the leather and get the Powerkit!!! ... you will thank me! and it already includes the sports chrono and exhaust ...

p.s
folding mirrors!

I too think the CF will look much better with the blue interior. I just hope they've improved the quality of CF used... Better read this :

You are the world's greatest expert on you!
Get the colors and trims that you like, opinions are great for technical options, but colors and trims are totally subjective. Besides, I love seeing people do something different, besides the usual colors.
Like you I am deciding on colors and trim for my order, but I will not ask for anyone's assistance, unless of course they want to help me pay for it...good luck and be unconventional.

Larry Cable

you know you can get the car in yachting blue metalic as the exterior color???

its one of the approved PTS colors for the 991 ...

Rocket_boy

Another alternative to the wood would be the trim pieces painted exterior color. The dark blue pieces on the inside would look great.

I have ordered a guards red 991 with center column trim exterior color, but the dash and door trim in CF. Those in guards red would have been too much, but all the trim pieces in dark blue would look great.

I had a Cayman S a while back, Atlas Grey (dark bluish grey) with Sea Blue interior. The interior pieces were painted Atlas,....it looked great, really ties the car together.

As others have said,...it's all up to you. Sometimes I think choices are bad, and then see them in person and they're pretty cool.

DBYT

Agree with Rocket boy. Also, have you considered having Deviated stitching in say silver to accent all that blue leather? It would really highlight the blue interior nicely. A good person for you to have assit you is Melissa Witek from Porsche's exclusiv division. She was a great help in helping me with my custom build.

+1 I had this in my previous 997.1 GT3 and it looked GREAT ... and its very unique ... more so than wood...

I'd save and skip the power kit... Not sure how "useful" it is (if you see where the increases are in the power band).

kbalch

No stress at all.

A fair point. Might have to wear my Sparco gloves...

We're definitely considering it. The problem is, if I'm driving around Germany, I'm likely to stop in Glashutte at Lange, and that's going to cost more than the 2-week vacation!

Thought about it, but didn't want to wait that long for the car. Maybe on the next one...

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Putting my proposed spec out there for comments was definitely an out-of-character move, as I don't usually look for others' opinions or validation in any context whatsoever. However, this forum has been of such help in my 991 researching process, that I thought I'd give it a shot.

Anyway, there've been some good ideas on this thread and I'll definitely give my build some renewed consideration.

Ken

I did see that, yes. I'd actually prefer having the leather done to sample in a darker shade of blue (closer to Dark Blue Metallic), but I definitely don't want to wait as long as that would take.

Ken

kbalch

Now, that's intriguing! I'll check it out later today.

I like the look, but wouldn't want to add any extra build time for the sake of stitching. Worth an inquiry, certainly.
