I Like others have said, I would ditch the FAL. With no driveway issues its a definitely not needed on the base. I have 2023 GT Silver C2 and even when approaching something that I would think could be questionable, it has is always been fine. In really really questionable situations then you can always approach at a bit of an angle to ease your mind further.
On the color. I love my GT Silver and at the same time also love my chalk Macan GTS, so have lived with both types (arctic and chalk while not the same, still in the family idea with one another). Just remember colors like chalk and arctic have become so common place trendy by so many brands, the one thing to say about a GT silver 911 is its timeless and will never go out of style. So perhaps think about how long you intend to keep the car as it may help with deciding your color choice. Whatever you choose, buy for you, not the next owner.
I would do the crests like others have mentioned. I have the full leather in black with sportex seat centers, chalk stitching (which should just be called white) and crests. They are so little $$ in the scheme of it all and add nice touch imo.
Since your interior choice and mine are along the same lines, one thing I wish I would have known was to add the interior trim in "light" silver. I wanted the contrast just as it shows in the configurator to break up the black a bit. BUT, the trim is misrepresented in the configurator. It shows as light silver as standard and when you select the light silver option box, nothing changes. I actually checked this when building my car but did not select the light silver option as it appeared to be no difference, so figured why spend the $. What you actually get as standard what is what they call dark silver, which should just be called dark gray as its not silver at all. This includes the interior door handles as well. On a side note, do not confuse what I am saying with the aluminum interior trim option. That is light silver as well in tone but also takes away the standard textured detail replacing with actual smooth aluminum. Many like the dark silver and I think it ended up looking overall fine as well, but still would have preferred what my eye was seeing in the configurator when building.
Drop the FAL, and black wheels, with the savings you could get the exclusive wheels and add black to those if you wanted. The exclusive wheels look awesome with your build.
I considered it, but I only use it for really long road trips, which will probably not be done in this car. I might use it for traffic but don't sit in much of that.

I would drop power steering plus and upgrade to the 18 ways. I just like the way the seats look, they look more like sport car seats. I would also go high gloss and the wheels since you packaged other high gloss black. I would also drop the sports exhaust (this can be programmed). I would also consider the 930 interior package.
Definitely agree on upgrading to the 18 ways and the 930 package really lifts the interior (to my eyes anyway). The pic attached is my 18 ways in black with chalk stictching, embossed headrests and the 930 package.
This "interior inlays" option, I notice it comes in a lot of different trims - leather, aluminum, the color of the car itself, etc. See what each of them looks like in the configurator.
Good advice above.
You really need to sit in the seats if you can. I’ve had both and my wife and I much prefer the 18s.
Wheels are literally the easiest things to change. Put that money towards an aftermarket set if you wish.
I’ve never had FAL. You can buy a lot of spoiler lips for $3k.
I wouldn’t pay extra for painted logos but I always delete them anyhow.
Agate is less but I’m not a fan of the darker flat colors so just ignore me.

Any real photos to share? I'm interested in seeing the difference too. Thanks Rennlist.
