Grade a build for a 1st timer - a bit of color help
#46
I haven’t sat in 992 18 ways but for me when I drove 991s, 18s were night and day, a must have. At least in the 992 it’s a dark plastic
9k for ccb would be great but I just can’t justify it at this time. Maybe On the next one
your car has been an Inspiration the whole time.
Another vote against truffle with carmine red. Truffle is a better match with silver, black, white. The standard black/mojave beige interior looks good with carmine. Isn't truffle a $6k option? Use that on ceramic brakes instead and thoroughly enjoy brake dust free living with the carrera exclusive design wheels. Don't forget the matching yellow seat belts.

I updated the beginning - ditched the truffle
Down to a few final questions - skipped leather on the backs of the 18s for ACC and some alcantara.
Final Question: what color belts for the Black with chalk stitching? I'm not spec'ing a sunroof so some color would be good. Could add a SC/Tach in color too.
Safe: Chalk
Daring: Yellow
Not sure how theyd go with the exterior: Bordeaux or Guards
Added the pics to the top.
Thanks!

I agree. I'd shy away from yellow belts. TBH I'd avoid colored dials and seatbelts and use that money for more leather options or other options you like. On an Aventurine/Truffle C2S Cab build I put the money into leather steering column casing, 18 way leather seat backs, and 930 leather package quilted stitching.

No Yellow or Red Seat belts! Seat belts should be ever present but IMHO they should not draw the focus of your eyes. They're not even supposed to be the "Supporting Cast". Please don't make the walk on, silent "Extras" the "Stars" of the show.

Surgeon here, 5 years out of fellowship. I drove a Honda Civic my first year out but quickly moved into Porsche (Macan GTS, Panamera 4S) and just took delivery of 992 4S this week. Absolutely amazing car and you will be extremely happy. Interestingly, one of my partners actually had a patient say, “my cardiologist is excellent and he drives Porsche, so I’m wondering about you as you are driving a Honda.” So it can go both ways, but after having Porsche vehicles for 4 years now, I’ve only received positive comments from patients and staff. My partners are into cars as well so no animosity there when one of us gets a new one, as we are actually excited and help with optioning! Life is short, go for it!!
