Good call on the silver wheels if getting black exterior!

Nice build, so much of it is personal preference, so I wouldn't listen to anyone too seriously! I think the added aerobits on the GTS are nice enough that I wouldn't get the aerokit, but up to you. Not a fan of the white dials, esp with the second pod being black due to the screen. Also consider the two-tone interior with black/platinum grey.

Might also need to confirm that you can get the car configured that way for a GTS, haven't seen the configuration online yet for the US. Assume you already have.

Enjoy!

Nice, but how will you fit "MEGAHOMELES" on your license plate? All kidding aside, glad you are excited for the new GTS. Your build looks great. I hope you get good value for your C2S (that will be the toughest part - trust me, I know the pain).

Perhaps you should consider the premium package for Sport Seats Plus - it has heated seats and auto dim at $320 vs. $1110 as presented in your build.

I have the glass sunroof and love it. If you are getting a sunroof already maybe think about the glass. It gives a very open feeling to the cabin. Also, I think if you get the aerocup kit you loose the rear black grill which I like.

its all subjective, I'd change:

- bin PDCC, just get SPASM
- aerokit cup, just add the ducktail to the GTS
- honestly, since its a GTS I'd keep the alacantara and the dev stitching pkg
- no BOSE?
- model delete on the rear too busy by far
- prem pkg (plus?) for the 18-ways
- glass sunroof

Leipzig? - get it from the mothership Zuffenhausen

As for the wheels - sadly they are not for some reason offering all the 5 lug options available for the 991 on the GTS... 1st thing I'd do is replace them with some nifty aftermarket rims.

enjoy!

Starting the configuration on a new 911 is so exciting. I think the GTS in dark colors will be awesome. Partly because I'm not a fan of the black engine cover. I think I'd go with the all stealth look with black exterior and black/platinum wheels. But the silver will also look great, so pick the one that strikes you. All that matters is you have a GTS with manual . SPASM is fantastic. Agree with Larry about maybe dropping PDCC. I never feel that the ride is rough even in the sport damper setting. What do you think about the glass sunroof. I love always having light coming in the car. Great build.

Thanks to all for the comments. No glass sunroof as I'm thinking of moving to Vegas in the spring. Still tweaking the order but have rethought the PDCc.
