I have a base on order, have been waiting for one year and three months.
My build is extremely similar to yours.
Agree with Tobeit that I wouldn't get ACC; if you check this forum you will see that there have been some problems with it, and some people having the car stopped abruptly in the line of traffic putting them at risk for getting T-boned.
I also agree with not spending an amount that is hugely marked up for the race tex items. Difficult to clean, absorbs dirt, not a good choice for visors or your fingers are getting wiped off on them.
My last suggestion is very subjective. Very few people get the rhomboid shaped base exhaust. If you look at the shape of the black plastic bumper area, it really seems designed for this exhaust. I like the looks of the exhaust.
The price of my build is almost identical to yours but includes paint to sample.
I am not ordering Bose for multiple reasons. It adds weight because of bigger speaker magnets.
The base stereo has improved versus what it used to be in the gap is not as large.
911s are fairly loud and I'd rather listen to the engine. When driving more slowly with less road noise, I will be perfectly happy with the base stereo, and I am an audiophile.

Not bad, I'd loose the chalk stitching, surround view, and Lane Change Assist, if you wanted to get that price down. The beautiful thing about 911's is that they truly are to each their own.

I use my C2 as a in town daily and touring car and couldn’t be happier. Anything more (power) for me would be a waste, I don’t track. I have tried to break the backend free during some spirited driving on back roads and thing sticks like glue to the road. On-ramps to the highway you will hit triple digits before the car starts breathing hard. Steering is perfect, had a 986 Boxster before and the 992 is just solid, balanced and spot on. By far the 992 is the best auto I have ever owned

Great build! Unless you really need the comfort systems (LCA, Surround Camera, etc.) I ditch those and save the money or put it to the sport exhaust. Either way you’ll be happy with a C2.

+1 on the standard rhomboid-shaped base exhaust. I like the way it echos the radiator openings in the front, from a design perspective. The engine sounds great when I put my right foot down enough to overpower the tire noise. :-)
I don't have the front-axle lift and not missing it. But if you spend extra $ for the sport extended front lip, you may want to add it for insurance.
