Default What would you change in your build?

For those who have taken delivery of their Turbo/Turbo S, is there anything you would have changed about your build after living with the car for a bit?

From Gentian Blue to Guards Red or Carmine Red
Sports exterior package in black
Suspension -10mm
Model designation in black

Quite happy as it is, but in the spirit of the thread, I'd add ambient lighting.

I'd change a few things, in order of annoyance. If my GT3 falls through (what a wild goose chase that's become), I'm going to try to find another TTS allocation to order another one.

1) Chalk --> Carmine Red
2) Add "Preparation for Roof Transport" option, which I thought was included with my sunroof, but apparently that changed going from MY21 --> MY22 due to parts shortages
3) Add CXX Option for Contrast Stitching on the 930 Leather, or remove 930 Package. I optioned extended leather everywhere with deviated stitching, and it annoys me that the 930 package stitching is black. I think it looks fine on the seats, but on the door cards the mismatched stitching really stands out.
4) PCCBs in Gloss Black. I wanted the "classic" yellow caliper bling, but it's essentially a distracting focal point for the whole car, when really the overall presence of the thing is what should stand out. The ceramic rotors are georgeous and make a quiet statement of their own also.
5) Porsche Logo in Black. The standard chrome tends to catch reflections and it's like it's constantly screaming "PORSCHE." I ordered black letters to change this myself, but since I'll probably trade the car, just going to leave it alone.

Since I asked, the only things I would change (as of now) are:

Deleting the ionizer - it's not that I don't like it, I can just never find it in the menus
Not speccing Innodrive. I've never turned it on and it's not something I look for when I'm driving the car

Like, do you stare at your $550 leather wrapped steering column?

1. Pick Burmester over ACC...hate throttling in traffic but love cranking tunes more
2. Non-ED Turbo wheels and use them for winters...got aftermarkets coming for summer and use the ED turbo wheels for track

Some features may not work as well or not as useful as you anticipated - looks like Innodrive and ACC are in those category. Another one may be front lift - I had front lift on my GT3RS, but that car is quite a bit lower. I'm on the fence if it is needed on a turbo, even with the 10mm drop. My sales advisor says NO, the turbo doesn't need it.

you're probably right about FAL....but, as you know, it really depends on your environment - ACC is pointless for me, as i never use it, and wouldn't order it again (i should've known)

I was thinking not needing FAL, but every now and then you confront a steeper driveway out of a shopping center say and having the FAL allows you to breathe easier. I'm happy with all my options, especially removing the sunroof.

Door cards matched to my deviated stitching and deviated leather color.
Clock matched to my deviated stitching, and maybe more leather on the upper dash but those are easy enough to add afterwards.

No idea where to get new door cards, though.
