Opinions configuration targa 4 GTS
I have been reading this forum for a long time and learning from you, and I thank you.
I have a manufacturing date of February 7, 2023 and I wanted to know your opinion regarding my final configuration.

Couple thoughts:
1.) Puddle lights that say porsche - I had this on my 2020 992 C4S, did not do it on my 2022 Targa 4S - not worth it in my opinion
2.) Key painted and Race-tex - I have this on my GT3 Touring - you can do aftermarket for much less and get Agate that matches your car. I would save the 470 and just spend less than 100 and buy them off ebay. They sell the key fob shells and the race-tex pouch.. (or any color leather pouch for that matter.
3.) It shows in the picture the sports chrono in red, but doesn't seem you have that checked (config issue maybe) - the sports chrono gets a lot of window glare, I would opt for black (which I think you did on the chrono) - the tach is fine red and helps your accents (belts, stitching, etc.) but I would opt for black on the sports chrono.
4.) FAL - if you need it due to steep driveways, etc. The Targas do not have the -10MM drop that the coupes have. I did not opt for FAL on my 2022 992 Targa, as it sits pretty high. If you need it, you need it, but I haven't found any entry that I have had a problem with, as it sits nearly 6 inches of clearance. Just wanted to throw that out there for you - in case you are wondering if needed.

You're configuring a Targa 4GTS, arguably the most impractical of all 911s.
Throw caution to the wind, and scratch every itch you want.
RE FAL. Never hurts to have it, but on a Targa, I cannot fathom a situation or type of driving environment where it would be a daily necessity -- once in a blue moon necessity, maybe, but not on a daily basis for a Targa.
Have fun waiting and congrats.

I passed on FAL. I have scraped about 5-6 times over the 7 or so months and 8500 or so miles. No visible blemishes from any of these scrapes and, in each case, I was surprised when I scraped and would not have had the time or forethought to have activated FAL.

Cool thing is if you go over those spots again and remember to activate it, the car will remember it and do it automatically going fwd. Hmmm does it still do so if you stop subscribing to Drive?

Solid build. Pisses me off how much better this version of configurator is compared to the US one. The thumbnails are so much easier to decipher what the options really are. Would've probably saved me hours. Who am I kidding..I enjoyed every one of the 99 interations.
