Ditto with @Vernin -- this option wasn't available for MY2023 T! I did the personalized door sill, which makes me smile whenever I open the door. I have the Porsche crest on the armrest, but it's so far back that I hardly notice it.
Does the other T in town have: a Motorsport stripe, Exclusive Design wheels, or Sport Design package?
I do not believe so, I have a friend getting a T here in ABQ but it also will not have any of those, and the stripe got rejected :/ I had customized my aluminum door sill to say the same thing as my signature here on Rennlist but it got rejected as well as the aero kit, and leather options like the extra leather doors, then I tried the sport design package after I was rejected from the aero kit, then that also was rejected and just about everything else I tried was rejected that was exclusive manufacture
Working myself on a new 992 T. Had contact with my dealer today and he already had an allocation I could get. So production week 2 of November already. Now we just need to work on a nice deal. The new T is €10k more expensive so I will not lose much on mine. So I will leave some options on the new one saving that money difference. But I also need to add some options like the exterior color. Could opt for white though. No more sunroof as explained before since I will skip all the alcantara options. No more 18 ways. But adding the LED+ and the Bose. So all in all it would be more expensive. But I am willing to pay something of course.
Any suggestions and advice? Although speccing a car is really my thing already, but wondering what you think or maybe I forgot something:
Don’t want to add the other leather options. Want to keep it clean. Just like my current T. But it’s hard for a leather and deviated stitching lover. But the T ethos remains less luxury to me and so I tend to leave out the extra leather options. Back seat leather with blue inlay however will probably be the only food for thought. Also thinking about the sport design. But I don’t like the SD front on a T and €4650 is not exactly very cheap. My point was to safe money and not lose any money on my current one. So left this option out.
Will you be able to get a good trade-in value considering how many unsold T's are available in the Netherlands?
I love the deviated stitching on my Shark Blue T. Speed Yellow stitching would really make your interior pop. I am not a fan of the Gloss Black inserts; the Shark Blue inserts are eye-catching on my car. But, it might clash with your yellow details.
Besides color, what are the other differences versus your existing T?

There are multiple 992 Ts in town. One in nearly every color other that Guards Red, Racing Yellow, and Ruby Star. Edit: At least to my knowledge.

My lock date is approaching, and I wanted to get some thoughts on a few remaining options for my 2024 T.
- ER tank – are folks still having some issues with the tank rattles on cars built after 2023 MY? It looks like there might have been a TSB campaign on 2020-2022 models? I can go either way on this option.
- Power steering plus – my SA is strongly recommending. Is it true you can option and then turn off later if you don’t want it? I prefer heavy steering.
- Still considering FAL – does this require any periodic / yearly maintenance? Never had a car with it before. Just seems like it could be a big issue down the road if it goes out.
Thanks! This will be a big upgrade from my 997s.
Get the big tank. It's great too fill up every 500 miles. And the "smaller" tank is the same tank with a baffle in it anyway. And usually when a TSB comes out on something, the running change is made on the line for new production. So shouldn't be an issue any more. My 2023 is fine.
If my SA suggested Power Steering Plus, I would tell him he's been selling too many Macans and Cayennes. You do not need or want this on a 911.
FAL is very user-specific but the clearance on the T is larger than I expected. But I came out of a 991 GT3. There is no yearly maintenance on FAL.
Here's the driveway I'm working with. I think the angle approach will work. Let me know what you think. My other house has a completely flat driveway.
I'm probably way overthinking this for the FAL but want to get it right on a $150K car... (Car has SD package optioned)
Was faced with this recently. Had to angle it a lot…almost sideways,ha. I used to drive slammed (I mean melt coils to max slammed cars in my younger days so just becomes habit after awhile). U can see all the scrape marks. Not sure how much u can tell from pic, but driveway is several feet going up/down. I have a standard front bumper but was ok on this so your driveway may be easier to deal with. Hope this helps….
This is a different link than the one from yesterday. It is a complete conversion kit. Not available yet.
Just called and confirmed. The kit will contain everything needed, they just can't fully itemize it fully yet until its all done. No estimate on when it might be available either.

Get FAL. The slope then flat is the worst for scraping.
So, after reading all 16,890+ posts in this thread - keeping up regularly since the T announcement in October - I'm about to take some time off. In just over half an hour, we're heading to the airport for our flight to Munich! On Monday, we'll take the trains to Leipzig, ahead of my T delivery on Tuesday afternoon. It's been over two years since I first went to my dealer, and over 5 months since the car was built in March - can't wait to meet my T and drive the **** out of it in Europe for 16 days!
@bobert75 Super excited for you! The long wait will only make it that much sweeter! At least that's what I tell myself with a May build date and mid-October Stuttgart delivery date

Looks great. With yellow accents, I prefer it without stitching. Can't make out the options very well because it's not in English or USD but looks like a proper spec'd T in a nice color combo.
Mine doing the same. Brought it to dealer with a few other little things and when I picked it up they said 'their was dirt trapped on the window'...next day driving, put the window down, squealing still there. Agreed it’s a small thing, but in the summer it’s a daily occurrence so I'll report back with whatever I hear on the actual fix.
