Looks great! Personally I don’t like the wood trim on a brown interior, but that’s just me. I like the wood trim, I like brown interiors, just not necessarily together.

Beautiful build. Love the MT. Consider getting a Numeric shifter for it. After adding one to my 991.2, I made my deal so "delivery prep" included installing the Numeric and Function First shift **** (I drove the car home from PECATL so I experienced the difference in the 992 as well).

The Truffle Club leather is well worth it IMO, as is the Paldao trim.

Just like you I just received an allocation - September 23 build, October / November delivery.

I have ordered a base cabriolet shark blue, blue top and black interior.

I like your build other than the colored dash and steering wheel. I just can't get my head around those interior features not being black.

But that's why every Porsche is different.

Enjoy your wait !!!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Why the numeric shifter? Is it better quality than the OEM one?

Good build.

I would suggest the premium pkg. You have pretty much everything selected, and for another 470.00, you would get Surround View, a 1430.00 option standalone.

Another consideration: the sport Chrono dial is visible in the windshield and a number of Rennlisters who have selected the white SC dial have complained about its reflection.

It's a short shift that really tightens up the feel of the shifter. I believe most people who have bought one would absolutely buy another (like I did) for this 7 speed manual. The Function First shift **** just feels better in my hand, but I must say the OEM shift **** in the 992 feels better than the 991s (but I had pre-purchased both the shifter and shift **** before the car came in). No relationship, I just like both products and have had good dealings with both.

BTW, those turbo wheels look great but are not fun at all to clean. If I were redoing my build, I MIGHT still get them (since they are forged and look nice), but also would consider the Exclusive wheels painted black (which are also forged). Liked the look of the Classic wheels, but couldn't bring myself to pay extra for cast wheels.

I looked at your build. I didn't add it up, but I can't imagine that getting the Premium package won't be a better deal than all those individual options?
If you haven't been in both seats, you should try (which may be difficult) to compare 14s to 18s. They feel different and we greatly prefer the 18s.
Agree with some concern with white sport chrono dial.
I'm not saying it's worth $1200, but it is odd staring at that single sport chrono hand sweeping around the dial. I think I might have ponied up for the Porsche clock in the dash after living with the car for a couple months.
