One of the astounding things about Porsche is that you can order "your car", if you can afford it. Get your car, not ours? After you get it, this group will instruct you on how to spend a bunch of dough on how to improve it. Great fun for most most here, I'm guessing.

In as much as your build is quite similar to mine--only diff aside from color is that my s/r is glass, and I prefer the SD steering wheel with paddles--I'd say you got it nailed. LOL.

Very nice build,....full leather & Burmester, the best picks from the performance group, really nice.

How about all black gauges (free)?,....gets rid of the grey one for the tach. Or maybe silver or red seat belts to give it a zing? The colored belts have always been one of my favorites.

It's hard to suggest anything when I have no idea whether you plan to keep the car for more than two years or not, whether you live in the city, whether you plan to drive it 10,000 miles a year and so on.

Give us an idea of your needs and perhaps we can give better intelligent recommendations. Many of your options look like you are pretty smart already!

Sport Design steering wheel is a must with PDK, IMHO...of course that means no steering wheel heating, but the paddles are worth it, at least for me.

Colored center caps are cheap and look good.

Ahh, the black gauges. I'be been toying with the idea of those -- still am. Sorta thought that the grey tach fit with the color scheme of this car, but I can see how that wouldn't matter much from behind the wheel. And I also considered colored belts -- I'd put silver ones in this (not a huge red fan). But I've never seen them live and I'm not sure how they're really look.

I'm planning to keep this car for a long time. I live in a City and don't really need to drive ever -- and I have another car. So this could see the occasional commute to a suburban office, but more likely it's going to only be a pleasure car and it's going to be around for a long time.

I know configuring a car is a very personal decision, but really appreciate others' views. Thanks all.

I am a huge fan of painted mirrors to match body. Cheap option, but changes look!

Also, go for spacers. Changes stance quite a bit.

When delivered, get the TechArt paddle conversion for the MF wheel. Have it on my Panamera GTS. Best of both worlds. Kinda silly that Porsche doesn't offer this themselves.

I'm a big fan of MF steering wheels. You can adjust the radio, make a call, etc without taking your eyes off the road once you become familiar with the buttons.
The Fashion Police here will instruct you that colored seat belts must match the brake calipers - red for regular; yellow for PCCB (I'm joking, sort of).
I'm probably in the minority, but I would consider espresso natural leather over black on this build.
Have fun!
