Got the call GT3T
I have a GT3 Touring on order. Car locks in 5 days. I’m pretty sold on my build; there is just one option I’ve gone back & forth on..
I currently have the gloss CF trim to tie-in the buckets. Though I really like the aluminum look in the 992. 🤔
Opinions welcome. Anything I should consider adding/dropping?
EDIT 2/22: Changed build to silver pack, silver wheels, black PCCB, black interior w/ GT silver stitching, black brushed aluminum.
I think the bespoke silver bits exclusive to the Touring better suit the car. I couldn’t help feeling my original blacked out build (satin wheels, black pack, black PCCB, black leather w/ black stitching) would better suit a winged car. I plan on keeping this car; so I wanted a classic look that will last forever. It’s a look I know I can live with long term.
I like that the silver stitching ties-in the silver exterior elements with understated black PCCBs; which still provide a nice contrast behind silver wheels. It’s a pretty nice option that hasn’t been offered on previous gens until the Speedster & 992; which in-turn will be less common. The car will look all business; so I just let my heart decide. I don’t think I could have lived with satin black wheels & blacked out everything TBH.
Huge thanks goes out to @Carrara Design for helping me visualize my dream! 🙏🏻

Carbon interior is a personal choice. I personally prefer the standard option.
I'd strongly suggest getting extended range fuel tank.

Just curious… did dealer say allocations dropped? Or was this a one-off or something?

I am not usually a carbon fiber interior trim fan, but ordered it to match the buckets and I am now really happy that I did. Add the extended range fuel tank. Nice specs.

I vote for carbon fiber interior
carbon fiber roof
extended fuel tank
if the build is locking in 5 days , most likely this is an old allocation that someone backed out , or the dealer built it as a stock car and now changed their mind and decided to sell

With several members mentioning matching the the buckets to the CF interior trim. Unless they changed it in the 992, the weave/pattern (1x1 vs 2x2) in the 991.2 was different between the seats and interior trim. Personally - that bothered me a lot, as they are in close proximity and visible, and hence why I didn't opt for the CF interior trim as it was not really 'matching' the rest of the car.
PS: congrats OP!

^^ Looks like a match to me
Anyone have comparisons between standard aluminum trim & optional black brushed aluminum?

I prefer the look of the aluminum. I also think the the carbon on a touring clashes with the embossed leather on the doors and dash. It's too much pattern/texture.

Thanks for the example. The black aluminum looks incredible! I loved the silver aluminum trim on my C2S, so I think I’m going to switch. The seats should be enough CF for me.
