Default 992 Manual Build - Feedack Welcomed!
I've got 2 builds, both similar but different color combos. This car will be my daily, I live in CT so I need a 4 and will get separate winter rims. My 1st 911, always wanted a manual and after driving a manual 991.2 last week, I'll save the PDK for my next one. I've added the surround view as my office parking lot is tight and if it saves me once, it will have paid for itself. Other than that, and the rear wiper, I've tried to keep the build lean. Am I missing anything? Comments are appreciated!

Looks like a reasonable options list. I'd go with the silver ext and red/black int combo personally. Silver will stay nicer looking for longer, especially on a daily as swirl marks will be more difficult to see.

I like the silver and red/black combo. It's classic.

But UD1, really? Seems a bit extravagant and unnecessary, but if it works for you, go for it.

Not a UD1 fan either, and I believe the power fold mirrors already come with courtesy lighting.. so that option is a little bit of an overkill.

x3 for silver. Also consider blacking out the "PORSCHE" on the rear, I think it would blend nicely with the black exhaust tips.

I think I'm going to black it out. Had it, removed it, and I'm glad you suggested it. I like it.

UD1--it's only on 1 of the 2 builds I posted--not sure how it got there. It's gone now. That's why I posted! Thanks!!

I had a GT Silver over Bordeaux/Black 991.2 and loved that combo. Go for it.

I vote for silver, but save the money and instead of 4S, go S, and add PDCC and RAS. AWD is unnecessary in this car.

For every one person that believes AWD is unnecessary, another believes PDCC & RAS is unnecessary.

OP, I too am struggling with Gentian vs GT Silver, so I can't be of much help there. If you go with Silver over Red/Black, I'd consider adding Black Deviated Seat Centers. It's inexpensive and I think it makes for a much more interesting interior look. I'm surprised more people don't add the option. In my browser, I can only see it in the configurator in 3D mode. Take a look. You may like it as well.

I've made some adjustments to my GT Silver Build. I really like the black/bordeaux interior, but I'm afraid to pair that with Gentian Blue. Should I reconsider Gentian w/ the black/bordeaux interior. Curious to hear some opinions.

GT Silver with Black/Bordeaux is perfect, but Gentian with Black/Bordeaux, not so much imo. GT Silver with Black/Bordeaux is my second choice, but I too am having a problem trying to come up with the right interior combo for my first choice, Gentian. I you're interested, load code PL124I62. I don't think it renders properly for everyone, but look at it in 360 mode to see whether the seat centers and seat backs render. It may be an interesting way to make an interior with Gentian more interesting.
