Default New owner (soon) - anything I should add/remove from my build?

Hello! Looking to get my first 911 next year, I’m waiting for my dealership to call me confirming I can pay a 5k fee to confirm my allocation. He said maybe mid November, so maybe in late spring I get the car, idk

I plan to keep this car forever so I’m trying to make it perfect, but I wanted to get some opinions on the build in case there’s something I should change

hope to join the Porsche family soon!

sorry it’s in Spanish, no idea if it auto translates

I'll leave others to comment on the spec I must say it's a lovely colour combination, refreshingly different from 90% of what we normally see. Just make sure paint to sample is available in your market, folks here say it's not at the moment at least in the US.

In theory since my order is in their system I should be OK, that’s what the guy at the dealership told me, idk if it’s bs or not, but I’m not getting the car if it’s not with that colour

I would consider upgrading the lights to matrix or plus since you'll keep it a long time; also, the ionizer and, at the very least, bose system.

Beautiful color combo! Personally I would have standard seat belt, add the Porsche crest on the seats and do the wheels in satin black; I think they look more like classic Fuchs wheels.

Lane change assist is useful.
Another vote for Bose (or Burmester).
Another vote for LED matrix headlights.
The blue seatbelts might be a little too blue. Black or brown would be better.

Nice build!

I would choose full leather interior. I have both and the leather dash alone is worth the price.

You’re going to get a lot of different comments, but this is the one to which I’d pay close attention. ^^^

And good luck on PTS. Pray hard to the Porsche gods!

Love the colors, my only comment has to do with the transmission. Manual is the only way to go with this car IMO and the biggest difference between enjoyment and not so much enjoyment.
