1. I didn’t want SPASM (lowered) or ventilated seats so I didn’t get sport or premium package. I plan to use the vehicle as a weekend toy and for road trips.
2. Understood that it’s overspec’d—looking for input on what isn’t needed.
3. Should I not spec it with the intention of keeping the car for the medium to long term? I’m new to the brand and wanted to build something I’d be happy to keep long term if I did’t get the chance to build something else before everything goes hybrid.
4. My SA suggested almost a year ago to go with a CPO for the first one, however, CPO prices were at or above MSRP so I just waited to spec my own, I couldn’t justify paying MSRP or above for something that wasn’t spec’d with my non-negotiables.

1. I haven’t spent a lot of time in person with the various wheel options but RS spyder were the only ones I liked. Any suggestions for aftermarket? Is it sacrilege to go with 19/20s for a little more sidewall?
2. Agree the brown steering wheel isn’t as nice as black. Might go with black interior vs truffle I didn’t want the interior-exterior combination to be too plain. If PTS was available, I would’ve gone with Brewstergreen.
3. Noted on the paldao seat backs, you're right it won’t be as dramatic as in a cab/targa.
4. Been going back and forth on red vs black calipers, if I go black calipers I’d also want to go with exclusive design taillights, which is adding more cost to an already bloated C4S build—might be worth it for me though

I thought I saw some reviews that the Element extinguishers aren’t very capable. Felt it was reasonably priced to spec it and unbolt it for most driving applications. It’s one of those options that’s costly to retrofit so I might as well add it?

From the input received, significant changes were made. I'm very appreciative for all of the insights so far.

This is where I'm currently at.

I like that combination above a lot more .

Wood belongs on a Bentley . I can't handle it on a 911 . As I looked at your build I even see a few mistakes I have made . Fortunately it was not on my 911 . Burmester is a lot of money and because there was a stop sale when I ordered my Macan I bought it. It is a total waste unless you subscribe to an HD service like Tidal . My 992 is Gt silver which I love but since my Macan was my 6th I decided to try something different . By a process of elimination of former colors I landed on chalk . Its a year of chalk now and I hate it !!! In overcast sky it looks like stale mayonnaise. . Its as if Porsche took white , added cognac , threw in some gloss , and ground up 3 thousand dollars of mine .

I agree with others on sport package along with premium . On gentian I like carrera classic wheels . On chalk anything black works . That is the one main positive of chalk is that it goes with black and carbon fiber . I agree on PCCB's . They are amazing .

Ionizer ? ACC ? The only thing that I think is nice is LCA

When you figure in taxes and fees, you're over $50k for what I paid for my very well equipped 2020 C4S, out the door, in 2019.
You're paying that for a car with standard wheels, painted, but standard wheels. 🤯

Now, I know that the market has changed since 2019, but it's also a matter of some option sheet discipline. If I am spending that kind of money in 2024, it's on a GTS. You can over option these cars and you should not expect to see all of that back when it comes to trade-in or private sale. If you're spending that kind of cash, spend it on the highest trim possible.

This build is much better and looks really nice. Remember you are making it for YOU, not others, all of our input is helpful, but your' the one that needs to be fully satisfied in the end. Proceed.

sums it all up well. I agree with you… I wouldn’t even have asked for an opinion.
