Default My Carrera 4 GTS Build

Ordered for end of April delivery. After seeing the carbon fibre in person at the LA auto show, I am wondering if it is a little too glossy and not as matte in appearance as I would have hoped. Under the white lights of the auto show, it almost appeared to have very bright white lines separating the small squares. I'll post pics on that in a moment.

1 991440 911 Carrera 4 GTS
2 U2 GT Silver Metallic
3 BH Two-tone leather interior in natural leather Espresso - Cogn
4 031 Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) combined with PASM sp
5 345 Steering wheel heating
6 498 Deletion of Model Designation
7 583 Smoking package
8 602 Full LED headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
9 638 ParkAssist (front and rear) with reversing camera
10 653 Electric glass slide/tilt sunroof
11 671 Voice Control
12 712 Deletion of model designation "GTS" on side doors
13 714 Elimination Alcantara
14 844 Multi-function steering wheel
15 970 Two-tone leather interior
16 998 Natural leather interior
17 P07 Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way)
18 P3G Prem Pkg Plus i.c.w. Adpt Sprt Seat Plus
19 P3K Burmester® Audio Package
20 XAJ Side skirts painted
21 XHH Gear lever in carbon
22 XHM Center console trim Carbon
23 XSC Porsche Crest on headrests

It will be my first 911 and second Porsche after a 2013 Cayenne.

Nice build! It'll be a long couple of months, but the wait will surely pay off!

cool - seems like so far most people are speccing their cars as Sapphire Blue or GT Silver!

have you driven a SPASM/PDCC car before, just curious?

Congrats, looks like an awesome build!

Question, did you purposely leave out the carbon interior trim or is it just not included in your list? As it reads right now your center console trim and shifter are in carbon but the door/dash will be in the standard black aluminum trim?

7MT or PDK?

I actually am not sure. I tried out two 911s this fall, but that was to test out PDK vs. manual. I can't recall whether I had or not.

Thanks, Vise. I was kind of worried when I read your question because I thought I had forgotten to ensure a match and my order is locked. I asked my SA and he said that I did indeed have the carbon fibre on the doors. Not sure why it wasn't in the list of options that was emailed to me.

you might save yourself 3K by ditching the PDCC ... IMO its not worth it... I think you should also drive an SPASM car to ensure you enjoy the ride quality over PASM

Not just the doors, the dash as well... to be safe I would confirm that you have the option below, since you don't have the GTS Interior Package the carbon interior trim (dash + doors) is a separate option on the GTS.

EGA - Carbon interior package (with leather interior)
