Default New 992 Build Feedback Please

Hello, I'm in the process of finalizing my build for a basic 911 and I'd love some feedback. I'm not 100% sure if I need a little color contrast on it. I was considering having the same wheels with satin black, bottom of the mirrors high gloss black and the window trim high gloss black or just leave it with the clean look. I'd appreciate your feedback. (I know it's mine to decide, I would just like a little input.) Also, I added a poll but if you'd like to share more you can reply. (Like what about those aluminum pedals?) Thanks!
Ice Grey Metallic
Leather Interior Slate grey/chalk
Sports seats 14-way
20/21 Carrera exclusive
Premium package
Sports Chrono package
Sunroof in glass
Crest on Headrest
Mirrors in body color
Window trim in silver
911 Logo in body color
(And, I thought about aluminum pedals?)
I MADE SOME CHANGES DOWN BELOW ON A SEPARATE POST. IF YOU WOULD, PLEASE CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. THANKS!

Love it, Nice simple yet clean look. Very similar to mine. I did the wheels in gloss black and painted sport side skirts to match the mirrors.

Mark, thanks so much for replying! Yes, I really like and have considered the side skirt, but more so because I would have to add it to get the exterior paint package which I really like. I just wasn't too sure about long term upkeep, such as: the likelihood of the side skirt getting damaged.

Nice config! Some suggestions:
Exterior
- Exterior Mirror Lower Trim in Exterior Color and Base in High Gloss Black
- Tailpipes in black

Interior
- Would go for Black leather with chalk stitching or Deviated Stitching Interior Package. I find that the light interior is easier to get smudged (eg. by clothing).

If you really want contrast, get black wheels and ditch the silver trim by the windows.

Thanks for the reply, black wheels are just too masculine for my taste. Because I'm a girly girl.

Side skirts are easy to replace if necessary.

The interior is the favorite part of my build. Though I wish I could have chalk with slate stitching but I didn't see that as an option.

Thanks for saying that, because I really do like that look. That change I think I will make! Thanks again!

Consider upgrading to the quad exhausts which look much better IMHO. This is not the sport exhaust, just an upgrade over the rectangular exhaust.

Default Made some changes - I Appreciate all the feedback!


I added side skirts and exterior paint to match.
Added quad exhaust pipes.
Changed the window trim to black gloss.
Added black gloss to the wheels.
Changed the mirror base to black gloss.
Changed 911 logo to black gloss.

Already thinking about changing tailpipes to black?
NOT SURE OF black gloss or satin black on wheels. Is the trim already black and I should just leave it as well as the base of the mirrors. Is black gloss too much? HELP!

And I'm still open to feedback.

Again very similar to mine. I would keep the exhaust tips silver or they will get lost in the black surroundings. (See my pics below) I did the silver window trim ONLY because my car is white and I tinted the windows so the silver kind of sets off that classic 911 coupe design. I would stick with the gloss on the wheels since that is what you added to your mirrors, I did my mirrors in all white as I wanted the sleekest look possible. We are all different, so yours looks great and get what YOU want as the car is for you, not us.
