I think you nailed it. That is a stunning and unique build. I love the interior.

Congrats! I also have a chalk 911 on order. Due end of August. I went with espresso natural interior. Turbo S. I’m excited and nervous with chalk but I think it’ll be ok. After seeing my wife’s gt silver targa 4 gts with all the black badges and bits, it’s gonna be tough to look as good as hers.

Very interesting color combo...will be interested to see how well the chalk leather matches the chalk paint...seems like a lot of different shades of colors could be either really cool or painfully miss matchy. I actually liked the idea of the all black interior with a little pop to it (granted not in the form of chalk paint but it wasnt going to look as bad as some thought here). Either way, VERY unique and that thats pretty cool!

That's incredible! Don't forget to have your sales rep add Voice Control for $0. If he just copies your code, it will not keep VC on the order (since it's not on the customer-facing configurator--only on the dealer configurator for some reason).

Thanks my friend.....yes, Jay added VC along w/ Ornamental Porsche Crest ($0.00) before i ever even asked him to (way back on the first build).
He has maintained my previous build, but made the changes from my my most recent code from today, and already sent the confirmation back to me this morning!

Appreciate the peer check and all your help along the way.

Do you think you will be able to get some discount off MSRP?

Not a lot, but fair...evidently these allocations are somewhat rare.
But my SA is taking care of me and knows I will be a repeat customer.
