nice build
suggest another leather choice . Not personally crazy about blk/red combo . To my eyes always looks warn out
heritage interior will look great with black

Thats a solid basic build. I'd lose the innodrive as I find LKA annoying and add surround view.

Sun visors in leather is something I would get. I touch them a lot and was always annoyed when I felt the standard vinyl ones.

Oh and the Matrix headlights are 50/50 for me. I only wanted them cause I knew I'd get them hacked. On the other hand it's a turbo. Sorta chintzy not to have them for resale and such.

My input:

1. the LW glass, it’s expensive to replace and you’re not saving much weight without the rest of the LW pkg. issues with it cracking in GT forum too. (I have it as part of the LW pkg)

2. All the drivers aids, not really necessary on this little car. I don’t have a single one and have never thought about any of them once. (It’s a sports car?)

3. Power steering plus, don’t think it’s needed at all. Along with FAL. I don’t have FAL and have some terrible roads and inclines, approaching at a bit of an angle, I’ve never scrapped anything and my car has the sport suspension so it’s lower too.


The sport suspension is a nice add so the front end doesn’t look like a monster truck.

The red interior can get old after a while. Consider the heritage interior or some deviated stitching? Subjective

The stock Bose stereo sounds great to me, the upgraded stereo seems expensive for what it is, depending on your needs. I have never once thought the Bose was lacking.


Search on here there is tons of posts and info, lots to consider. Have fun!

Angry makes good points about the LW glass and the SPASM.

As for the interior I think he's sticking to a budget. Deviated or especially heritage are big ticket line items. And personally, suggesting interior color is like telling them you don't like their nose. Haha.

Angryinch

If you get rid of those driver aids, the stereo, FAL, etc, you got room to spice up the interior more. (If working within a budget)

The only reason I mention the red is because my first build and instinct originally had the red interior too. I wanted something different, but it’s actually pretty red in real life and not so much that darker red wine color.

Being black I see you want something different inside. That’s why I said heritage, but you will lose the ventilated seats with heritage.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! Please keep 'em coming.
I'm really struggling with the interior/exterior colors. My first exterior choice was the green but my dealer says it's not available for my build cycle and would delay my delivery by a couple months.
I hadn't realized the red interior was RED RED rather than the darker wine-like burgandy. The chalk stitching does help somewhat. Being in Florida, I feel I need the ventilated seats, which eliminates the possibility of the Heritage interior.
Due to the comments, I'm about the lose the lightweight glass and the front axle lift, then add the sports suspension and leather visors. I'm still undecided about the driver aid packages. I definitely want the Burmeister and the adaptive cruise control.

My two cents, since you asked; live in Midwest & stay in FL during winter months.
A blk exterior & even a blk interior car in FL is an absolute no go for me. My OCD can’t handle the exterior upkeep & heat soaked interior. YMMV.

Racetex sun visors will match the roof, you can also add seatbelt outlets in racetex which will then match the roof and pillars.

I did black interior with red stitching and seat belts and red tachometer and clock which helped to add a little colour to the black interior.
I also added the carbon fibre seat backs and am very happy with this also.

I didn’t order power steering plus but my car came with it at no charge so not sure what that’s about but maybe it just gets added without ordering on the TTS because of the four wheel steering.

I did order Burmeester and don’t really notice a difference from the Bose in my previous 911.

I didn’t really want the FAL due to cost, complexity and weight but did go with it and have needed it several times so no regrets, glad I added it.

I am happy I got the Sport Package which is the only way to get the wheels that I liked and the carbon fibre roof, side view mirrors and window triangles look amazing and I don’t miss the sun roof which I had on my previous 911.

Extended leather really looks good in these cars.

How about Gentian Blue metallic exterior w/graphite blue w/chalk stitching for the interior?

Gus22

Stupid but small point. Order the aluminum pdk shifter. The standard all black one just kind of looks/ feels cheaper. Personal preference

Your spec is a solid hit and run to first base but why not live a little?

The greens look great, especially the Olive Greens and even the British racing green. Personally Id be willing to wait a couple of months to get that right.

With green you can mellow out on the interior color and look at the Beige/Couio type leathers.

Some excellent advice here. I agree with passing on Innodrive and FAL.

Might as well pass on SPASM because most of us do lowering springs anyway

By the same token could pass on the sport exhaust bc most of us replace the exhaust anyway (you'd have to keep the quad tips which to me looks great anyway)

Splurge on the interior - its what you see and interface with 99% of the time. I'd consider extended leather on dash and doors, steering column. I'd consider deviated stitching too.

I'd keep Burmester just bc the speaker grills look better lol, but the sound is better

No matter what you're gonna love it bc you ordered it to your liking. Don't order for the next guy

Go check out the bordeaux interior. To my eye it isn't at all red red but more wine, burrgundy colored. I'm sure your local dealer has more than one car on the lot with that optioned. Black is sooooo ubiquitous. If you want to make yours uniquely yours I'd 100% recommend against black.

Sailmorc

You've talked me out of the black exterior/interior, confirming my hesitation about it. I like the gentian blue but wife's taycan S is that color. The exterior green isn't available as I mentioned, so now I'm thinking the Agate Grey metallic exterior. What interior would complement the agate grey? Grey/grey looks very plain.

Those that advocate losing the front axle lift and adding sport suspension: Don't you have issues with the parking lot bumpers scraping in the front?
