I got the RAS. Still undecided but, its too late to change! Worst case... Get a Turbo S!

I got RAS too. I’ve never had it but am curious to try it out. My mantra for this build was to keep it pretty simple but focus on items that are either unique to the T, such as the T exterior trim, T interior and no back seats, or not available on non-T base models, such as RAS and manual. Having a theme made it much easier to sort through the dizzying number of choices.

Forgetting the up-front cost, do people think the Aero Kit will add or subtract from the 911T’s resale value.

On one hand, I actually like the look of it, will be a rare option, but wonder if it conflicts with the 911T’s retro/minimalist vibe. So I can it see it affecting value either way.

Your thoughts?

I had a similar thought regarding the carbon roof--not as much whether it would affect resale value, but whether it was consistent with the minimalist vibe of the car. In the end, I decided against the carbon roof as too flashy for the T. I have the same feeling about the Aero Kit.

Irrelevant.

I had the gloss black aero on my build but changed to the regular aero package last week-- I decided the gloss didn't fit the titanium wheels and accents -
but I think it looks great - and gets rid of the goofy up and down wing in the back which the old cars didn't have either by the way.
Looks more like the retro sport model --- and looks cool as well and if they don't kill it as an option is fairly rare as it is often not available.

My dealer thinks that with the regular aero package that the top of the wing could be in the titanium color rather than the body color but he is not sure yet.

My build works out to $149,000 with the base python green T interior and Python green exterior. Why they did not offer the T package in shark blue or maybe yellow of the new neo rubystar seems off. Why offer the Rubystar and not a matching T interior package -- both standard and leather T in Python green only?

I went whole hog - green -- green instruments as well -- and thinking of green vents and stitching --

Porsche seems to want to see a lot of T's in Python green for some reason-- All my other Porsche models have been in blue so I thought I would go for something different-

If you like it, spec it. If you don’t, leave it out. Who cares about resale? It’s your car built it how you want it.

It’s a T, not a GT3. Makes the aero kit juvenile at best and an affectation at worst.

I owned a 1999 996 that had the factory Aero package, the "taco" spoiler. At first I thought it was too flashy or just odd, but then I loved it. And I can tell you, it was very rare, turned a lot of heads and got a ton of attention and even respect in the Pcar community at a time with 996's were the red-headed step child. My car had a base price of about $65k and an MSRP of $103k. And that helped the resale value a lot. Some may not like flashy cars, but those that do will pay top dollar for them.

That's why I ordered my 911T in Python, full Aero and side skirts, along with the "T" Lizard interior. In for a penny, in for a pound! I'm all in!

As I am reading through all the codes I seem to be the only one with the Sports Seat Plus backrests in leather with decorative inlay painted in exterior colour. Anyone else?

Curious to see who will consider adding this option after seeing pictures of mine!

When I decided to do the deviated stitching on my build, I had to unselect other options and unfortunately I removed it, but I think it would have looked great on the IGM and nicely tied to the painted inlay free option. Looking forward to seeing pics of yours!

If the car was a convertible I could see spending money on the back of the seats - but in a coupe where the back seats are never seen and not even a rear hatch like the Panamera- what is the point? Better to spend the money on other options.

I have the lane keep for example on my 2021 - Targa 4 and it has saved me a couple times avoid an issue with an inadvertent lane change. Even if your insurance pays off on a totaled car it could take years to get another allocation,

Agreed with previous poster. I have had painted seat backs and leather seat backs on other cars over the years. Too hard to see in a coupe (particularly one with back seats.). On a convertible they really shine. They are beautiful and sometime I order options just because I know they are there.

I gave some thought to this... But basically I decided that Rubystar on the interior would just be too much. If I could get Rubystar Stitching as someone else mentioned today, I would have in a heartbeat... but ruby on a black interior (and mine has yellow belts)... It just made me a little nervous. I really really wish they had offered at least one more T interior package color too... I think we can all agree this SLATE option is kind of WORTHLESS! Should have been yellow or even Chalk would have made me happy. Slate is so hard to see

I always order the leather wrapped steering column even though no one ever would notice this option except me also leather sun shades - I like the stitching on the sides of the sunshades.

somehow on my GT4 the leather door thresholds were added for $700 - which really seemed like a waste of $700 - and way too easy to scratch up.

I was wondering what the dealer does if they had to repair something inside the steering column if you had it wrapped in leather?
