After 7 years I finally have another 991.... Picked up a 2012 C2S Cab 2 weeks ago and couldn't be happier.

I see you just changed out the side markers (they are orange in one photo). Well done! It's looks great.
The black paint looks like it's in good condition...now to keep it that way!

PDLS and Light design package??
Porsche entry and drive -
Sport Chrono Package - the Sport and Sport Plus are the ticket..
PSP
Premium Pkg Plus

Changed the side markers to clear, thinking of changing wheels to Classic II

I changed my wheels to Classic IIs. Against the black paint they look great. I am very happy with the results. An added bonus is that the darker inner portion of the wheel hides the dirt and brake dust.
I repurposed the wheels that came with the car (Sport Design in my case) as winter wheels, and mounted snow rubber on them. If you are not planning to take the car out in the colder weather, you can sell the wheels in eBay - probably between $2-4K

She's not my DD, so I haven't decided if I want to keep winter tires or not. in Dallas area and probably have 3 down months where temps are below 40.
