I love the ducktail and went with the standard PASM and not the Sport PASM for ground clearance issues. Everyone I see gives me the thumbs up and loves the look. You don't need to add a bunch of extras to the car to make it look more exotic. My build was $115,000....

Brett, does the car still have the rear brake light in the engine cover, even after the ducktail with its own brake light? I'm curious.

Curious to know why / what your thoughts were on it, Brett...

I know it's all personal/emotional, but I'm curious as I've only ever done PSE or Sharkwerks on 911's.

Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread.

Congrats Brett on the gorgeous 991. As you well know the color, the ducktail, along with that interior are sweet!

I have 500 miles on her now and am really loving the car! Need another 1000 miles or so before she is really broken in and ready for a track day! I am getting a few interior trim pieces together and will post up when I get them installed. If anyone wants a brand new Fab Speed Exhaust:http://www.fabspeed.com/porsche-991-...xhaust-system/ at a great price please email me.

Awesome, Brett! Awesome! Really glad to hear this.

Would you mind sharing the interior trim pieces that you're getting? Just in case I want to get them for a future car. Feel free to email me privately if you prefer.

Thanks!

It'd definitely get more traction and attention.

Brett, great - and unique - config.

I've doing amber orange (a 981 color) deviating stitching in my C4S cab. Do you know whether amber is also available as a deviating leather in the 911? Any chance you have the available individual components with deviating leather with their prices?

Default 'Customization Package, Gear Shift Lever' - Option Code CTX

Brett: Congratulations. Outstanding build and a beautiful vehicle!

Just a small point to clarify for other folks interested in this subject matter, which is dear to my heart. 'Porsche Exclusive' does offer an alternative to the standard shifter. Brett was probably just too excited with his order that he overlooked it! This option is specially useful when you are ordering deviating stitching in other parts of your interior (seats, dash, doors, rear panels, etc) since the leather shifter boot is very visible and centrally located on your car! The option is called 'Customization Package, Gear Shift Lever' and it's code is CTX. It costs $1,035 in the US. Some of you might remember that Rennlister Montesquieu ordered it on his 'Mexico Blue' Carrera S cabriolet (last photo). Please do remember to tick this option box if you are also doing other deviating stitching in your Porsche's interior!

Saludos,
Eduardo

Yes, there is. The option is called 'Customization Package, Gear Shift Lever' and it's code is CTX. Brett is totally wrong about this and should have known better that to give that answer at our forum!
