Bose is also a good idea

That's a pretty disciplined build. I am surprised that you're not doing Sport Chrono. I would add LCA (Lane Change Assist) -- that's the blind spot monitoring.

Full Leather and Sport Chrono are the 2 main ones you might want to think about. And I agree with LCA also. If someone is sitting in my passenger seat, I can't see my blindspot.

For an understanding of the options, reference Nick Murray on You Tube. I found it to be very helpful.

I love the guards red belts (have them in mine) - is this the only red thing you’ll have in the interior (or exterior)? You might consider doing the tach in red too so the belts “match” or are more cohesive with other parts of the interior.

I don't have LCA on my 997 but do on my XC90. I sort of drive my XC90 like it wants to be a 997 but still I'm not sure LCA is really critical. A 911 driver should know where traffic is, without having the car telling them in my opinion.

I'd ditch the ACC in favor of Sport Chrono. Colored gauges and belts (especially red or yellow) look ghetto in my view. Standard window trim in flat black matches other exterior black bits; high gloss just doesn't work IMO.

Agree w/ dropping ACC & adding Sport Chrono. Attached for your reference is my ghetto interior. I also have the gloss black window trim - it is a nice contrast w/ light colors. Also has ghetto aluminum trim & shifter.

I have been driving my car for a month now. There is no blind spot if you set your side mirrors correctly. They should be set further out than most people normally do. Should be minimal overlap with rear view mirror.
I agree that ACC is a waste. I drive my own car. I am very happy with 14 way seats and full leather.

I have a cab. Coming from a crossover with glass all around it’s just taking some time getting used to it because of the higher rear deck and thick top side panel. I moved the passenger seat forward a couple inches so I can see out the behind it now. Will adjust my mirrors.

Default Think backwards

As we think about cars of yester years, there are themes that emerge for those models that become near and dear. Sometimes it’s a limited run with goodies that speak of an era, sometimes it’s tech that was pioneering, sometimes it’s a bold design and sometimes it’s plain nostalgia. The 911 will change soon, forever. Why not make it represent!!
In this vein, I’d recommend as follows:
Full leather with contrast stitching, trust me. It doesn’t have to be the Manufaktur package, just a contrast with full opulent leather. We see old Ferraris look timeless inside mainly due to the ***** to the wall leather.
Sport Chrono is about stance, throttle mapping, and sense of occasion to the driving experience. You gots to option it.
Save money on Autopilot and lane keeps because it’s quite inferior to my Volvo, for example. Unless of course, you have long trips planned.
May even save on the PDLS plus etc, it will be the first thing that gets outdated, doesn’t add much to the driving experience unless there are lots of night driving.
The rest are more personal and less significant in my opinion.
Good luck!
