Great build. I also opted to not get RAS because I’m not sure it’s worth having it. I would not get a Race-Tex wheel. It will clash with the interior and I have it in my GT4 with all its higher maintenance. Silver belts will get dirty as others have mentioned. FAL is needed if you have known steepness to get over but that’s a decision we all have to make. I don’t have it in my 992 and I have a good incline to my driveway with no problem.
the only thing I might consider is aluminum pedals. They maintain a great appearance over time. Not that it’s that noticeable, but a have them in my 6MT GT4 and I have come to like them a lot.
When building my '23 GT3 Touring I went with FAL and RAS and am glad I did.
Depends on your area, but we have an awful lot of steep curbs/gutters here in the Bay Area to negotiate.
GT Silver was my primary color until I thought more about it and feared that it might look "washed" out.
I switched to Agate Grey and am happy I did given how "deep" it is.
But it's all personal preference.
Love the specification. One note with the club brown with deviated stitching is that not all the stitching is chalk. The steering wheel, lower door panels and storage lid will have brown stitching. I was disappointed to find this after delivery on my C2S with black interior. To get all panels with deviated stitching need to go with Deviated Stitching Interior Package.
another color to consider that is just stunning in person. ice grey metallic. like with many porsche colors, pictures don't do it justice.
Thank you everyone for your helpful comments. Arctic Grey is absolutely a amazing color. Thought hard about it, I've seen a 991.2 in that color really liked it. Worried that in 10 years I won't. RAS is nice but I don't think I need it, not planning on tracking it and if my K turns take longer, well, that is just more time driving this car. Plus don't want another system that could go bad. The feedback on seatbelts was very helpful. Going to make some changes to the build, Thank you again everyone.

The car shown is in Ice Grey Metallic and not Arctic Grey. Wasn't available on 991. Love your build! That is one of my favorite interiors. So classy.
You may want to consider the sport design front fascia and I agree I would get the leather on steering wheel. Also consider getting the leather accents in the fascia. I would skip the FAL (unless necesaary where you live) and definitely go for sports suspension (SPASM) as the regular PASM is definitely softer. Having the Spyder wheels I agree with above they are a huge pain to clean from brake dust and so consider adding PCCB (my recommendation) or switch to the classic wheels although it will change car's presence. Beautiful car. I have similar build silver grey/black Spyder/SPASM but with the Tex-Leather interior combo. Love your build.
. . . and so consider adding PCCB (my recommendation)
Agreed.
If you can swing the extra money, you'll love the fact that PCCB's shed zero brake dust. I love not having to clean my wheels!
I'd also go with the leather steering wheel. A leather wheel sets "off" the entire dash a lot better than race-tex.
The difference is dramatic.
if you could, i would add the sport design package (the non-sd bumper) is painted on the sides and is prone to peppering unless you get it PPF'd to death.
Are you talking about the rear bumper? The sd front looks like it has way more paint to get sprayed with rocks to me.

the sd REAR bumper has plastic on the far lower sections of the bumper. the non sd is painted. but with enough ppf on the painted bumper it will hold up.
