I hesitated on the PSE, thinking "it really doesn't add much, and $3K is a lot." But then I figured, "It is going to be at approx $135K after tax, so what the heck, throw it in." Now I am glad I got it. I have it on nearly all the time. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is on the fence.

Absolutely gorgeous and very nicely equipped! Well done. I leave the auto stop/start off. Maybe I'm old school, but without that feature, I wouldn't cut the car off every time I stop. Somehow, I can't imagine that's good for the lubricated internals. Plus, the Mayans might be right, so what's another few gallons of gas!

The PASM stance and glass sunroof really make the car stand out among other white configurations. Congratulations!
The glass sunroof's black color blends in very well with the car's overal tone, it seems as if it is customized for this car. Very good choice!
Did you consider the black or two-tone black-grey interior?

Wow!! Beautiful Car!! Congrats and welcome to the forum. I have a MT and haven't quite got used to the Auto Start/Stop. Part of me enjoys the quiet when stopped at an intersection, but like you, I haven't experienced it enough to totally trust it. As of late, I rarely get to experience it because I find myself putting the car in Sport Mode on pretty much every drive.

Congrats! A very beautiful car. I like the contrast of the glass as well. Maybe it's just me, but I wish the lines of the glass matched up better with the front and rear windows. Does this stick out in person or just something I see in the photos?

No plans for modifications yet. I'm new to the Porsche world, so any suggestions are appreciated. Keep in mind however I'm kind of conservative when it comes to stuff like that. The dealer really wants me to put a 3M protection bra on the front, which I may consider.

The bra is totally worth it. I don't consider it a modification - more like waxing.
911s collect stone chips. Even if you replace the film every three years it is far less expensive than paint, and headlight covers.
I have a half bra and after a week or so I stopped seeing the very faint demarcation line that bothers some. Do the entire hood and fenders if that bothers you.
PS With the way your car looks, no one will ever look at the hood anyway!
