Any Aventurine Green 992 Owners?

I've read conflicting things about the satin black. The configurator says that with satin black the spokes on the exclusive wheels are polished. Someone posted that when you order satin black on the exclusive wheels the spokes are a satin finish as well. I definitely want the polished facings on the spokes.
You may want to roll through this thread - https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1167...our-992-a.html - find some exclusives painted black, and PM the posters of the pictures to get clarification on which black they have so you can know.

I’ve decided to go with AG over Black/Iceland Green for my Targa 4S. I’m torn on the Sports front fascia (which would also require me to get the front end lift where I live). I “think” that the sports front fascia is less noticeable with AG (I’ve seen both fronts) and right now I’m trying to decide whether the money is better spent on it or the Burmester. I’m an audiophile, but I also listen to music fairly loud at times when I drive. I’m somewhat intolerant of distortion, but I haven’t heard either system.
This is where I’m currently at with my build

I was out for a ride last Sunday and some people in the car next wanted me to put my window down only to tell me they thought my car was awesome. I’m sure that you will have even more admiring looks.

I must say that the basic music system is a definitive upgrade in comparison with the previous one on the 991
It goes really loud ...

Ok, I listened to the two systems (got really lucky) and I can definitely hear the difference between the Bose and Burmester. Even on the road, the clarity at higher volumes will be worth the upgrade (to me).
I wanted to have a budget and I'm leveraging two options against one.
Do I do the Exclusive Tail lights and the sport side sills, or the front end lift?

Nice build and similar to what I was considering for my cab. Unless you have some serious transition issues where you live, I’d be surprised that FAL would be required on a Targa. When I was considering AG for my car, I definitely wanted the exclusive design tails to remove the red from the car. So for me, the decision would be easy ...

I generally like the black Targa bar, but in his case, the silver ties in well to the wheels and provides vertical balance.

At least here in Europe, the configurator nowadays allows you to select the front lip of the regular bumper painted in case of SPASM. This would have been been a perfect, inexpensive alternative for the SportDesign bumper (unfortunately not available with non-SPASM Targa, I guess) but both bumpers go nicely with AG anyways.
Same thing with Burmester, cannot spec it afterwards, so better to choose it now if you appreciate its benefits (I can definitely understand why).
Looking forward to seeing the car in pictures!

I agree that the FAL isn’t required, unless you have a specifically difficult repetitive use case. Like your driveway. The clear lights and the sills bring it together nicely.
If you’re looking for something that’s debatable, I’d consider the PDCC. It’s expensive and in a 911 not really needed or particularly noticeable. Yes, you’ll notice it if you’re throwing it around corners, but despite that Targa roof and the CG, it’s still very flat. If you’ve driven a Targa with and without, and find it indispensable, then ignore my comment
Considered the Paldao seat backs ? They look amazing in a Cab, but I don’t know how visible they’d be in a Targa.
Its going to be an awesome looking car, even if you do nothing but order it as is.

Overall, I’m very happy with the final build. September build with November delivery:http://www.porsche-code.com/PNI28Y95

New Photos and a Small Update
Haven't seen fresh AG photos in a while, so here's a few...
Did a small update on the tail, anyone notice what has changed?
In overall, I think this works really well. I am also pondering on whether to upgrade the front lights to the black version (purely due to aesthetics)... What do you all think about this? My biggest concern is that one wouldn't notice the change that much, because the darker lights don't stand out as much against the Aventurine Green as they do against lighter and more uniform colors.
New Exclusive Design Tail Lights!
The Model Name in Black could work as well but I definitely like silver in combination with the clear lights. At least, PORSCHE I prefer to keep in silver, taking into account the car's other options that seem to go well together in this set-up.
