sideskirts, they make a huge difference. Car looks lower and completes the look.

You might want to think about getting the interior in red & black rather than all red. Having black leather on the dash will cut down on the glare on the windshield.

Have you thought about metallic black? A little more depth - - - and several people have expressed concerns with chipping / durability of the base black paint

I second that. I was initially going to option mine the same way but plenty of feedback around glare. Ended up doing the 2 tone.

All red leather, gives you “free” chalk deviated stitching......smart

consider black sport exhaust, to tie in with wheels.

beautiful build

No need for spending the money on lights. Same brightness as free ones.

Metallic black will fool the eye into not seeing dust, dirt and little scuffs so is much less maintenance. Pure black will show all of the above and is for people who enjoy polishing and waxing etc. While metallic will be beautifully glossy when clean, only pure black will have the super deep look. Just remember the old saying, black is not a color it’s a hobby.

The clear polyurethane used in the top coat that actually fends off the slings and arrows the world throws at your car should be the same, so I don’t see how there would be a difference in chip resistance.

Nice build. If getting LED Matrix, consider the black LED Matrix. I'd get side skirts with the aerokit/sportdesign package.

Yeah, but the LED Matrix look different. It's an aesthetic choice no different than getting sportdesign or aerokit.

Don’t let anyone talk you out of black. If RL had its way, you’d see zero black 911’s on the road lol

I like your build. If it were me:

Add sideskirts

Delete matrix headlights, door trim leather, & ionizer.

As for the paint, I'm going to wrap the whole car with xpel stealth.

Might look good in this picture. Having seen this car (below) in person - its resounding meh from me.

  • Matrix headlights are a waste of money in the US. Their unique functionality is disabled here and will likely never get DOT approval. Go one step down, stick with PDLS+, and save some cash.
  • If you're dropping $172k on a C2S. spring for the metallic black paint (use the money you save by not going with Matrix headlights). The world doesn't need more black 911s, but if that's how you want to roll, get the good black.
  • Full red interior is a very bold choice. I would go with red black unless you've got your heart set on a red steering wheel.
  • RS Spyder Design wheels are always the correct wheel choice for the 992 generation.

Count me in the group that acknowledges the insane price of the LED matrix for zero additional functionality BUT still optioned then, in black, for the aesthetic. As rk-d stated, we spend huge sums on other choices that are purely aesthetic, so consider this the same.
