Default Roast my 7MT GTS Build

My GTS is due for delivery Nov 8th, starting to get excited after more than a year of waiting. I have a feeling some people on here are going to hate this GTS build. Let the comments fly, this is exactly the spec I've been dreaming about.

Short shifter, H&R springs, GT3 sideskirts and some HRE R101LW's already piled in the garage. Dealer will install full body PPF.

Why would you upgrade your wheels from the factory and then buy aftermarket wheels?

They are a free upgrade on the GTS - so wanted to get the RS wheels at no cost. May also use them as winter wheels and I do like them better than standard Carrera wheels

Probably about my perfect spec also. Minus the red seat belts/tach.

You mean standard GTS wheels, which are Turbo S wheels in black.

You skipped premium pak but selected ambient lighting, bose, storage separately; why not just do Premium and get surround view also? I love surround view; esp when parking in tight spaces. LCA is great as well. Pretty big miss imo.

i'd skip the red accents, aluminum footrest, and fire extinguisher. the extinguisher is just tacky and posuer to me.
get the premium pack.

I didnt realize AG was back on the menu.

Not much to roast. Red belts with truffle is the only thing Id do diff. The resale on the vehicle will be great.

I like the red bits inside. Ties the interior with the red calipers on the exterior. Also color is fun.
Just take the premium package. Surround view is useful. Drop the aluminum pedals. GTS already has aluminum surround/rubber grip pedals. But I guess your build is locked so this is all moot.
And I understand switching out the center locks to 5 bolts if you've already got an aftermarket set waiting.

Aventurine and Truffle is a nice combo (there's one for sale here in Norway https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=317865624 ) - but I'm not too sure about red belts..

Aventurine green with club leather in truffle brown is a stunning, classic combination. But I don’t think it goes with the big Aerokit wing; it’s more of a gentleman's car look. In addition, adding the satin black wheels, you have an under-the-radar stealth look, also inconsistent with the Aerokit wing. To me, the Aerokit look works better with the brighter/louder color options such as racing yellow, guards red, shark blue and neo ruby.

It’s your car, so my input shouldn’t matter at all, but you did ask.

This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for! I agree with you - my goal for the spec was to do exactly what you're saying. Understated car - removed badging etc. but wing, colored bits, new exhaust and lowered stance to clash. I think it will be unique in that way.

Not a fan of black wheels. Not many other issues. But I wouldn’t get the sunroof. Ruins the clean carrying of the body color.
