Already have side skirts on there I believe.

I kind of like the red calipers!

I 100% disagree. FAL works flawlessly and has saved me plenty of times. The GPS system is great. And for the GTS, which rides lower than my Targa 4, I wouldn't spec the car without it unless it was a garage queen. And even then, you'd still be in trouble in many areas and/or need to slow to a crawl frequently.

I thought we had selected mirrors the same as body color but guess it got lost in the build. Will def add that back

Ah ok, I stand corrected on the steering wheel. It works the opposite way round on the uk configurator. The GT wheel is in racetex unless you specifically pick the alternative one that says leather in the title.
I was careful with it as my interior is full extended black leather with 930 quilting, yellow deviated stitching and no racetex at all.

I’d agree that FAL is essential. I use it a lot as we are blighted by speed bumps and car park sleeping policemen in the UK. Almost every car park barrier entrance has a high bump to traverse. It’s not just the front lip either, it’s banging the underside of the chasis on the way down.
Burmeister sound is wasted unless you’re driving with the roof up. Roof down with sport plus active exhaust growling and wind buffeting you really will not notice and appreciable difference in a more premium sound system than Bose. I have the bose and it’s excellent sound. More than adequate.

If an extended range tank is an option that’s something you’d not likely regret having.

As far as FAL, I’ve had the C4S and GT4, which ride lower than your Targa GTS. No issues with speed bumps or driveways. Learning to angle you approach and awareness works very well. It’s a personal thing. If you want peace of mind, go for it. Really expensive to try and add later.

Great looking car it will be. Cheers!

Take a look at the Porsche sub second clock-much nicer than the sport chrono clock with the big second hand mindlessly going around.
