Looking for some opinions on my base 911 Carrera Build. Porsche Code is: PMUALVG4.

I will drive it around 5K miles a year and will not track it. Will use it for a few 4 hour drives to Vegas with my wife and a couple of 2 hours drives monthly to Phoenix. We live in north central AZ. It snows a few times a year but will just leave in the garage in those conditions.

Your build is great. I have a couple of recommendations.
The Puddle Light Projector is nothing but a silly gimmic.
There is a question that remains unanswered in regard to Noise Insulating Glass. Porsche does not offer the rear windshield wiper with this option.
Could the reason be that Noise Insulating Glass is easily scratched ?

 

Why the Sports Chrono Package?

Seems antithetical to your build aesthetic.

 

Good points. I selected the insulating glass to help cut down on road noise but maybe it’s not a good idea.

 

Unless you are getting the Sport Design Package, you will rarely if ever scrape your bumper. Even if you do, the front edge is a cheap replacement. The front axle lift system is a total waste of money . If you are concerned, you can have some protection with a scrape guard adhesive protection.
For a real understanding of the options, reference Nick Murray on You Tube. He does an exhaustive two part video on all the options. You may also want to consider the standard lights rather than an upgrade.

 

I keep going back and forth on the Sport Chrono. I figured it might be a fun thing to have but your right I probably will never use it other than a few times. I am not worried about resale.

 

Before purchase, consult an High End after market Stereo Installer. They can quote you whole car sound insulation. Do not allow blow in insulation !

 

My driveway entrance is a little steep. But maybe I don’t need the front axle lift, my Tesla Model S does not scrape.

 

The Standard Black A-1 is a disaster for paint maintenance ! Paint chips will be a monster problem. Better to get the Jet Black Metallic, as it looks so much better. And, I strongly recommend you get a Clear Wrap, for at least the front of your car before driving it anywhere. This color and this car is a chip magnet !

 

You should definitely keep Sport Chrono. You want to be able to get out of Normal mode and enjoy Sport and Sport Plus, and don't forget about launch control.

I would also add Porsche Sport Exhaust and get rid of Front Axle Lift. Get the sporty stuff and get rid of some of the techy features, I say

You want a car that has a completely different attitude than that Tesla

 

Doesn't look like a scrape problem. But, you may want to get this applied.

Slip Lo

 

Unless you drive my like GF (who apparently skipped the day in elementary school when they taught basic geometry), you do not need FAL.

 

I would remove the puddle lights and tick jet black metallic instead of flat black. other than that it's perfect!

 

Ditto

 

Here are my tweaks for kicks...
