I am not a fan of the "Porsche" spelled out on the roadway as it is rather self serving, but I do prefer a puddle light for obvious reasons - so as to avoid stepping in a puddle. I ordered it anyway. On my BMW, the puddle light shines as whiskers and is cool looking.
I did take the body color options to heart. My 991.2 is GT silver, so this time around I wanted my 992 to have some color to it. I was hooked on Miami Blue, but was convinced that I should order a more conservative color, so aventurine green. That color does not photograph well, but still, it is quite conservative. I am really torn on that as I have had a Porsche severely keyed for other no reason than being a Porsche, so I am hesitant to draw attention to the car or me. I would rather have guards red, lave orange, or Miami blue. I am still at the configurator, lol.
Also, I have been thing about the sport tex interior, but all of my cars have had black interiors except for my TR6. The two-tone interior meansI need to add seat ventilation. I'd like to have the sport tex for added comfort. Torn on that one, too.
Anyway, thanks Nick for stirring the pot.

Not sure if serious, but I'll play. I didn't realize OP was Nick Murray himself! 
Your vid at ~38:20 you indicate that PCCB is good if you'll be beating on your car on a track etc. I'm refuting that with the article on autoblog where the Porsche tech says that PCCBs are basically for people who don't like cleaning their wheels. You and I agree on that point, BTW - I wouldn't pay 9k for not having to clean wheels. I'm not a clean freak w my car tho - I don't mind em a bit dirty sometimes.
Anyway - thanks for the vid, mate - enjoyed it overall. Cheers

Funny for sure, but it does strain credulity a bit. That the instructors would just hush it under the table with some random track day attendee is hard to believe. What would make them think he'd go along with it. Why would he go along with it in the first place - he's a journalist, of sorts. Some additional color is required for me take this as fact.
