Congratulations!! When is it meant to be produced?

 

Don't know yet.
Should be like April time frame.-Richard

 

Did your dealer say painted dials will be available by the time the car goes into production? Thank you

 

Very nice configuration and kudos for having the courage to take this baby out in the Wisconsin winters I was hesitating between a year round DD C4 (lease) or summer-only C2S (buy)... Went for the later though in the spirit of keeping it long term and sparing me the stress of obsessing about the road abrasives on that fancy paint.

I am a big fan of the painted model designation/logo, nice touch. Surprised it's not popular in the builds posted so far.

 

Didn't say one way or another but after driving the 2013 Boxster with black dials, I am a fan of black. I Noticed that this is a no cost option for the S models. My wife's 2011 XC70 came with silver dials and you can't see a thing most of the time, really.
The painted vent slats should put just a touch of color into the interior.-Richard

 

Car will be clear wrapped. Had the entire front end of the Boxster clear wrapped and you can't tell a thing and still looks great.
The 3D modeling on the config supports just about all options so you can look at your config. I had the Boxster interior photoshopped in Mexico Blue before finalizing the order.
Now obsessing over carbon fiber mats which require I delete the Fire Extinguisher. The Boxster mat has to be bent to insert under the extinguisher and I can only suppose that the carbon fiber can't be bent?-Richard
BTW has anyone considered using the front end lift option for snow, you would have to compress the snow with the body but that shouldn't be a problem and you would get more ground clearance so you don't plow?
I also wonder about whether PTV would be useful in snow for side to side stability?
Any knowledge or thoughts apperciated.

 

My 2013 Boxster, I got 4% and asked for more on the 991.2 and obtained it. My sense is not a lot of orders for a market such as Chicago. But the transaction took less than 30 minutes so it ain't costing them a lot of sales time and effort.-Richard

 

I can imagine that the Front-Axle Lift could help go through an unplowed driveway/side street for example. That (ridiculously expensive) option could make a lot of sense on a winter car. Since it deactivates itself as soon as you reach ~20mph though it won't help in all situations...

 

My dealer in suburban Chicago told me today that Porsche might release the colored gauges in February.

 

Great. Thank you for the input.

 

Colored dial just showed up on Configurator!
Now have to decide what interior pieces to paint to match Guards Red exterior?
Choices are , Belts, Instrument Dials, Sport Chrono, Vent Slats, Air vents(trim around vents) and Dash and Center Console Trim.
Right now I'm thinking Dials, Sport Chrono, Belts and Air Vents.
Trim will be Carbon fiber.
I also just noticed that you can get any steering wheel heated and with Multi function control. I think I will add those especially the Heated Steering Wheel for Wisconsin winters!-Richard

 

Excellent news. Updated my order. Now if I can just get an allocation...

 

I think there are plenty of allocation spots available. Where are you located?

 

hmmmm, to update my order or not. Will have to think about it this weekend.

 

Exactly!
