I have a C4S as well and am very impressed with the build. The only thing I've heard mixed reviews about is the power steering plus. I don't have it and don't have any trouble parking. Have you tried the car with and without to see if it's right for you?

SWEET!! So glad to see you got blue, the sapphire is really pretty. What color deviated stitching? Can't wait to see pics!
I had one 911 with white dials and now two with black, I really like black better, because I didn't know that at lower lighting conditions the white look grayish and you don't see the details as much. Just something to think about.
That build is going to be gorgeous.

Nice.

I think the multifunction steering wheel is perfect with the 7MT.

The deviating stitching is currently silver, but I might change that cause on the dealers builder white wasn't an option. I was going to match the gauges with the stitching. I might also consider switching it to a blue color if they can get something that is close to the exterior.

I would have loved to get a turbo but not having a manual in it is a deal breaker for me. I have drove the 911 with a pdk transmission at a track event Porsche Canada had and it works awesome on the track, for daily driving though I still prefer a manual.

No never really got to compare the two when it comes to the power steering plus. The dealer told me it makes turning the wheel with a finger easy.

No SportPASM or PDCC?

Seems like a pretty (nearly ) complete package to me.
I'd always add leather trim on the center console because it creates a more coherent interior look. (Uprated) power steering is not required for most of us, but you probably know that judging from the well balanced package you already selected.

The Burmester Audio Package = bliss. Very nice indeed.

Where I live the roads are full of potholes and unevenness. Can't afford to be any lower to the ground. And probably not going to track the car, it will be just a daily driver car.

Nice build. I'd remove the power steering plus and add PDCC as it will not be a track car anyway

Great build! Since I'm spending your money, I would:
1. Get center console trim painted exterior color.
2. Try to get the deviated stitching in blue.
3. Interior package in leather (I personally don't like the shiny strips and, when you open the cupholder, you'll be touching nice leather).
4. Add heated steering wheel (and drop the power steering plus). Canada. C4S. Winter. Brrr.
5. Since you wanted a TT, maybe consider the X51 Powerkit, especially since you are already getting PSE and SC.
Congratulations!

Glad to see another 991 ordered with the manual transmission. I bought my 991 off of a dealer's lot and it had power steering plus. I actually like this option as it makes the car much easier to maneuver at low speeds. Cannot tell the difference at higher speeds between a 991 with this option and one without.

Power Steering Plus is a terrible option. Steering feels light and artificial at low speed and you can feel it transition. I passed on a car because it had this option.
