Nice build!
I am debating seat belt colours, too (and Sport-Tex vs blue graphite leather interior lol; night blue ext). I also thought chalk seat belts would stain too easily. My SA suggested silver grey belts, and I checked the swatch. I thought they compliment the brushed aluminum package that I’m contemplating. I think silver greys would work with the aluminum in your trim. Another option (maybe too out there): truffle brown belts to match the Paldao wood.
I also agree with your thoughts on exhaust! I think the quads look great, and I can live with the lower volume/higher pitch. I don’t want to get PSE just because many reviewers say it’s a must have. Need to decide soon!
Best of luck👍

Hey Guys, Finally I got my TYD link sent to me and the first picture of the car in Body Shop. Could anyone got your 2nd picture in TYD let me know when usually the 2nd picture will show up if I have the luck, after production complete or before on-board of the vessel on port? Thanks!

Not to be the bearer of potentially bad news, but I never got the second picture. And I think some never got either one.

So the answer is--you get it when you get it, unless you don't get it :-)

Good Luck! Mine has been sitting at the port of San Diego now for about a month. The "My Porsche" site still shows the car in step #3 and the only picture I have is of it exiting the Paint Shop. I've requested assistance several times and in several ways from Porsche. Absolutely nothing has come of my requests. I'd guess that this TYD program was someones baby and they either got promoted, died or retired before all the bugs were worked out of the system. So now it exists in a Half-A$$ form that is tantalizing to the customers (that'd be us) and is presently driving the Porsche Dealers up the wall and tying up the Customer Assistance Phone Desk with folks like us trying to get what TYD was supposed to promise. I predict that this TYD program will die a slow and agonizing marketing death. The Dealers will kill it. If I were a Dealer and I knew what I know now about the poor performance of this system, I'd want it gone yesterday. It's almost certainly not helping to sell any cars. It HAS to be consuming/wasting the time of their sales staff for no good reason that would help their bottom line. However it certainly is pissing off the customers they do have. So there is that!

Totally understood the situation here. Just try to stay in a positive attitude, and look forward to the best result,

I am 100% with you, sir. This TYD product is definitely not fully tested and the QA team should be fired as well, LOL. Maybe some offshore DEV and QA team's masterpiece to make customers like us suffer.

I hate mentioning this as I don’t want to freak anyone out but I’m here at my Porsche dealership getting snows on the Cayenne and ran into my SA helping me with a 992 scheduled for 2/21 delivery. He says most cars come in fine but that he had a Cayenne sit at the port for 4 months and received it with water spots he could never fully remove.

Does that make sense? Even if it could happen wouldn’t Porsche remove them as part of normal prep?

I was one of the lucky ones and have both pictures. If your car has completed production and you don't have the pictures then you probably never will. Porsche as much as admitted that they don't take pictures of every car. But, if you ordered a chalk 992 with carerra satin black wheels, feel free to use mine. No one will know the difference even with FAL active.

I just realized that maybe I can Photoshop your picture into Miami Blue and it'd be pretty close to my spec :-)

I'm terrible at Photoshop, but this is kind of close. I could probably use it on my avatar and I wouldn't even notice :-)
