Thanks again.
Good taste. My build is also black exterior. Also chose black/silver houndstooth seats, glass roof, f/r parking sensors. WS thinking about the black light option but not sure about that one as the chrome of the stock may look better with the chrome elements on the car.

Will the wrap affect the paint underneath?

Yes, by keeping it as-new.

What I meant was that will the adhesive affect the original paint in any way over a period of years when the wrap is taken off?

Went to the dealer today & changed to black exterior, which is how I was going to order a C2S before the 50th came out anyway. Now thinking about either silver or red seat belts as I have the adaptive seats in leather. I also think the frame around the glass sunroof will look nicer on the black.
My order thus far is:
Black 50th
Adaptive Sport Seats.
Leather Interior in black.
Automatically dimming mirrors.
Seat heating front.
Seat cooling front.
Smoking package, (non-smoker, but otherwise you get a cubby that collects crumbs)
Entry & Drive
Electric Glass slide/tilt sunroof.
Power steering plus.
Voice Control.
Burmester Sound. (Not that you need as I generally just listen to the exhaust on my 997)
HD Radio Receiver.
Online Services.
Pedals & footrest in aluminum.
And of course we in Canada get the Powerkit & Sport Exhaust.
Can't wait! But have to. Just in the process of selling my '06 C2S 997.

Nice built.
You can't opt for silver or red seatbelts, at least not as a factory-option on this specific car. You can get them bullt in afterwards at your dealer anytime though.
What do you mean with the frame around the glass sunroof? As far as I know, there's only a chrome trim around the sidewindows and that comes standard with this edition.

In Canada the different seatbelts can be ordered at the dealer but not on the on-line configurator. The sunroof will look like this. Pretty much black roof.

Ok now I get it you meant the black frame in the glass sunroof. I agree with you. Glass sunroof looks best on a black car, where it's almost in invisible or on a very light color (contrast). So for the Anniversary edition only on the black or the Geyser grey car IMHO.
I've had an order on the Graphit car, but I canceled it yesterday and changed back to my original plan of a C4S.

Have used wraps and films before, protects paint from light stone chips, scratches etc. no damage at all if professionally applied. only downside is cost.

Suzy, was that decision based solely on the limited color choices? What color did you opt for with the c4s? I've spec'd a 991-50 in black but am strongly considering a C4S cabriolet in sapphire blue. The GT3 is too boy racer for me (big *** wing). If I go with the c4s cab, it would be my daily driver as opposed to the 991-50 which I would only drive a couple of times a week. I am so conflicted with the 991-50 because none of the colors on the exterior "speak" to me.

This color/cab speaks to me.

No, the decision was not solely based on choice of colors. It was one of more aspects. GT3 is too flashy for me. Like you say, the big wing. And it's not a car for daily driving.
Maybe the colors of the 911-50 have to grow on you. I don't know. I'm completely happy now with my decision.

That is a beautiful color-combo. However... That color is Aqua Blue Metallic and it isn't available anymore for MY2014. It's replaced with Sapphire Blue Metallic which is lighter and has a different hue.

Here is a picture I found. Left is Aque Blue metallic, Right is Sapphire Blue metallic.
