Not loving the McDonald's seat belt/interior combo.

lol...that is pretty clever dude...I have to have yellow seat belts and haven't yet made the final decision on interior color, Bordeaux looks very good to my eye but black is hard to beat. Regardless thanks for your input.

Nice! Yellow works for me. The sticker on the door doesn't feel quite right and in general I really like them. Maybe it is the length it covers. I like how you kept the black on silver throughout on exterior. A lot of folks might struggle having black calipers...but hey it is a Turbo S I think that speaks for itself .

Curious.

Why do you have to have yellow seat belts?

I would think silver would go better with your overall color scheme.

I think Porsche must’ve had some other interior color in mind when they put yellow belts/dials on the option list... perhaps agate/chalk?

The carbon roof, the Porsche stickers on the side, the fact that it’s a turbo S, it’s all very aggressive/sporty, but you’ve chosen the most elegant wheels... I was thinking the chunky forged turbo wheels would look good here.

Beautiful build and a classic look, however I'm in agreement with the yellow seatbelts comments. Trying too hard imo. If you're looking for something more distinctive inside, think about black leather seat inserts. Also, you may consider black trim on those wheels. It gives them a bi-color look making them much more striking (and expensive!). Good luck.

IMHO GT silver looks much better on 992
TTS is not a GT car, so I recommend you to change carbon roof for glass sunroof and of course to add club leather interior.

Love the GT Silver for the TTS. I'm a bit biased though.
I agree with the silver accent seat belts over the yellow in either red or bordeaux interior.
The side decal for me looks a little 911T like. I prefer the 911 Turbo S decal that sits closer to the lower front of the door.
Car is a real beauty. Good luck with the build.

Yeah Porsche is not dumb, they used to charge for yellow calipers and now those are 0 and the shiny black is now extra. As for the sticker I think most people questions the length as all the others went the full length of the side molding...but I really dig it. I took special care to make sure it says Turbo S no where on the car...Hey what is she? She's a Porsche, haha.

I like the Carbon Fiber roof so it stays for sure, not set on the interior leather/colors but I did not care for any of the club leather colors so they are a no go. My next possible option is all black with the chalk stitching, hard to beat that in any color exterior.

Well the car, if I follow through, will be a PTS Gulf Blue and probably black interior with chalk stitching...as to the belts, I just really like yellow seat belts and yellow dials.
