Now I saw a video with someone driving a 992 with the glass and I wished I would have gotten it I guess I would go sit in a couple 991’s with and without to decide. But end of day just a personal preference like seat belt color. Pick what you like. Although I might worry like the previous poster the red and yellow may give a little McDonald’s vibe
Don't worry about McDonald's, that's a restaurant. But the yellow belts don't quite work IMO...you could go guards red belts or chalk belts!! Also consider chalk gages.

Went with metal sunroof on my GT Silver build because I like the look better from the outside, standing in front of the car.

It's not that people don't like the yellow, it's your insistence on pairing it with a burgundy red interior.

Enjoy your interior with black belts, that red leather is loud enough.

Alternatively all black with chalk stitching or sport-tex, + enjoy the yellow highlights.

Sport-Tex is actually a great idea. Once the interior is black it would look much better with the yellow dials and interior painted package.

well the dealer talked me off the cliff... it's definitely a risk, but it's not irriverasble and I (and he) both agree it's a polarizing look but a look that we both like... proceeding with it, and if I HATE it.. it's $1500 to replace them all with another color later.

Best of luck! If it was your initial instinct to build it that way than stick with it. I'm sure it'll be perfect for you, and that's all that matters.

My build has been submitted since Jan 1st and there are certainly a couple things I'd tweak about it since then but in the end, the choices we make end up working out just fine and we get used to them like everything else in life.
