Leather sun visors popped up for builds after Nov 1. They're the sort of thing you'd never miss, but I had them on my 997.2 and with them, you realize how much the regular visors feel like cardboard. Talk about first world problems.
Lovely choices, it will look great - love the blue roof. I see you decided to keep the Cognac carpets rather than deviating to Espresso. You may want to at least get Espresso mats. Can you still add any non-standard deviated stitching or did you decide this was the "right" amount for you? We all have to stop somewhere...

Unfortunately, you cannot get ANY deviations with the GTS. I'm working with Exclusive and am hoping that they'll at least be able to get the deviating Espresso carpets for me.

Fwiw, I think (hope) that the standard Espresso/Cognac interior comes with Espresso mats (I thought with Cognac stitching). If I'm wrong, that's an easy thing to switch out.

Great build! Can't wait to see pics. I for one think the espresso/ cognac interior over DBM will look stunning (well dressed gentlemen are never afraid to pair blue and brown).

Yep, all too familiar!
You have done it extremely well - congrats!

Now just change it to Euro Delivery (they could push it back into the spring, if you beg just so... )


Cheers,
Martin

Thanks Martin. I think mine is a launch build so I'm not sure it could be moved. If I had gotten a build later in the winter, I would've done an ED, but I've lived, worked and traveled in Europe pretty extensively. I've also done five BMW EDs. And although I'd like to do a Porsche ED, it would mean that I'd loose about three months of my already shortened driving season here in the northeast. I'll do one someday, but for now I'll be able to get my GTS on the road by (hopefully) by the end of March.
