At long last, I have a commission number for a February 2014 build. The saga went:

• April 2013 - Requested a custom Mex blue cab build. Waited 2+ months for a build date, without luck. Gave up, canceled, and left an unhelpful dealership.
• June 2013 - Saw the 911_50 and instantly placed a deposit for graphite gray at a different, better delership. Waited 4+ months for a build date, gave up, and switched back to the custom cab.
• Nov 2013 - After a final 2 month wait, received a build slot for my cab: Feb 2014.

Details:
- PTS Mexico blue
- 7MT
- X51 power kit, PDCC
- SportTechno wheels painted black
- Espresso/Cognac natural leather with many upgrades
- Burmester
- Lots of little personalization details

I have mixed emotions about not getting the 911_50 in graphite. That is a beautiful and well-executed car. But the long wait gave me time to lean back toward a number of preferences only available through full customization, including PTS, the interior leather combo, and cabriolet. Sascha Glaeser was very helpful in spec'ing out the build. Porsche North Houston was a great dealership to work with. I'll post real pics when I eventually receive it.

Color make me thirsty for Tequilla.

Beautiful car and optioned nicely.

The "50" is an amazing car but listen to your heart and try not to let the process get you down.

You have your slot. Enjoy.

I really like the color!

This guys car over the 997 forum is a wrap but the color calls to me in the night.

That is going to be INCREDIBLE!

Gorgeous build.

Well done.

• Leather upgrades: center console, gear shift lever, rear center tunnel, instrument surround, steering column, interior package, door panel, rear, dashboard trim, and contrast cognac stitching on the espresso pieces that allow it
• Exterior upgrades: SportDesign side mirrors, rear fascia PTS, model delete
• Random stuff: personalized floor mats with contrast leather edging, key painted, smoking package

I might also add black magnetic rock guards since they looked pretty good on the True Blue Speedster from a few years back. Anyone have an opinion on this, pro or con?

MerlinsGarage

Are you talking about guards in the lower rear hip area, similar to the early turbos?

Montesquieu

Yes.

MerlinsGarage

Kewl! Where did you find them?

GSIRM3

That will be a beautiful car.

too much black, you have the roof and wheels in black, keep the body pure

can't wait to see your car
