Yep, and I hate it, but that’s another thread..lol.

i hate it more. At one point during the programming, it somehow managed to reset my entire garage programming including the ability to open the garage bays using the keypad as well as the homelink in my other cars.

That is unusual and I'm guessing something you accidentally did outside of the car and at the main HomeLink unit in the garage. Modern car HomeLink programming, like in the 992, should be pretty easy.

The issues we are all reporting about HomeLink are with the PCS integration and relying upon GPS to show the button at the right time. The HomeLink signal is not at issue, but triggering it is.

Perhaps ... but the car did go in for PCM reset & update because this was one of many weird things it was doing (including locking the doors with the key inside)

Stunning!
Is it night or gentian blue? And your interior?
Just placed my order and going for the same outside configuration (night blue) but struggling with the interior. Thinking of slate/chalk but truffle could be quite elegant.
Thanks

I'm on the list for a targa 4s... was told i'm number 3 right now but at a dealership that has no loyalty to me so we'll see how long it actually takes. Not sure I believe them. If it pushes long enough I may ask to swap it to get in line for a Targa GTS. I don't really care for centerlocks but the lower ride height looks amazing on targas and I've never been a fan of modding suspension to drop a regular targa. Maybe somebody knows from the 991.2 GTS. Could you order other wheels on it? I also want silver roll bar vs black.

@ipaneda I have a gentian blue and slate gray with all leather chalk deviated stitching. It is a stunning combination IMO - also gets a lot of compliments when I have it out. The other two options I thought of was Truffle (but i think Night exterior would complement it better) and slate/chalk.

ipaneda

thanks for that! Your combination sounds great. Will look into it. Thought long and hard about gentian, but I think it is for a younger guy... i am in my 50’s and night blue seems more appropriate somehow. I would have never thought about night and truffle, but I have seen one and it is stunning. I think that is where I am headed. On top of it, I have truffle in my Panamera (with Vulcan gray) and I love it still after three years!

Loving the BRG on the pic above, Mine is one order now, BRG over Truffle brown with chalk sticking.

Build freeze nearing and have decided to change from Agate Grey to GR ( last 4 vehicles have been grey/black) with these options: http://www.porsche-code.com/PMLBM7F7. Any feedback welcome. Still not sure...

Looks like a friggin awesome build to me!

Car looks great. Just a couple things.
1.) I wish I would have ordered the aluminum shifter. The black plastic one looks cheap and many have complained it cracks.
2.) the Sports exterior pkg looks unfinished without the side skirts. I'm very happy with mine.

Personally I would skip the sports package exterior-- not a big enough improvement for $6500. Use the money for red instrument dials, and red seat belts, with column in leather maybe add leather sunvisors. Also what about the performance package- that gives you a lot of the items you added individually? Carbon fiber outside mirrors- seems over priced. HAve the regular black bottom wrapped in carbon fiber film. I am going to do that to the mirrors and have all the gloss black shift panels wrapped in carbon fiber film also. My buddy used that film on the black plastic pieces in his engine compartment on his c8 and it looks great. No one can tell it isn't real carbon fiber.Might wrap other black plastic body panels also in the carbon fiber film. The real carbon fiber is not adding any performance benefits anyway--

Adaptive cruise control is nice -- also --

not a fan of the black rollbar--kind of kills the look of the targa bar especially if you tint the windows.

painted center caps on the wheels?

I regret not getting the chalk circles on the instruments mostly.on my Targa.

Also heavy price to pay for the Targa 4s to get the manual -- which makes the car back close to the speed of the Targa base.

I used all that extra money saved by not getting the S and spent it on lots of visual and comfort and technology options.

No design is wrong --

But all these options are daunting--



Conclusion-- add more options than you think you want--I should have added a few more --

Muhney

LOL, yes don't get anything you want on "YOUR" car. Some responses and recommendations crack me up. Some of us think the sports pkg looks awesome as well as the carbon fiber mirrors. I also way prefer the S over standard 4. The staggered wheels are something that really sets the look. Your gloss black wheels come with the colored crest, I have the same wheels also gloss black. The matte carbon fiber is a big improvement over the previous version. I have the bordeaux seat belts and white dials and could live without both but I like the look and when I built my car I ordered what I wanted based on my past experience owning 911's. The bottom line is you really can't make any bad decisions with these great cars, unless you let some stranger on a forum build it for you. Good luck and enjoy the process.

I just looked at it again in a little more detail - you might want to consider leather sun visors - I think with the top open you will notice them a bit more.
