One thing I would consider is getting the 20" / 21" Carrera Exclusive Design Wheels and getting them in Satin Dark Silver. I think it is one of the best available wheel choices available for the 992.2, and most people don't know that they exist. See pictures below.
those wheels look like they belong on a macan or taycan, not very 911 imo. needs to be sportier or give a nod to OG 911s for it to work well.
My suggestion would be to skip the sunroof, unless you love the idea of one. And add in the Premium Package, which will pull in LCA (required IMHO, and should just be standard on all cars), Bose (that you have separately), and Surround View (having lived with it for a few months now, I love it, even though I was not sure about it when spec'ing my car). Other than that, very personal selections that you will enjoy. And love that there will be another Carmine Red 911 out there - looks stellar on the .2 with the decent amount of black exterior trim bits. A good balance of black and red works really well.
the glass sunroof is gorgeous and well worth the money spend (i wouldnt go metal as it doesnt look as nice). the fact that LCA isn't standard, let alone required, on every car these days is ridiculous. of all the driver assist tech, id say its the least "nannie" of em and probably the most useful. and who doesnt love black and red...
PIck a price limit and go from there. Its a nice build. Hard to pay $4000 for vented seats as you said. Silver tailpipes. Keep those wheels. The other ones painted are 5k and you can get good aftermarket for that.
Get rid of some of the extended leather and the power steering plus and get the Burmester if you are into music. There is a big difference between them according to my ears.
Black Tail pipes on red as someone mentioned.
that leather package is a bit stout on price, i would down grade that and use the money for the premium package and the seat vent its definitely needed in almost any climate
but especially in a climate that has hot summers..
I'm an ACC and 360 proponent as well, we have vowed not to get another car that doesn't have at least ACC...LCA is pretty useful also.
You curb those expensive wheels one time and you will be kicking your self for not getting the 360 view... we really like it on both our cars...
recap... rims go cheaper, leather go cheaper... get vented via Premium or standalone, get the 360 view as well if the premium package gets you both job done...
as far as cheap options like PSP, pre-wire, LR fuel tank.. any Porsche option which is under 500 ducks i'm checking it... think resale and what a prospective buyer might be looking for...
1) Tailpipes in black or silver?
2) Amazed that I can't add Vented seats this the 4 way Sports Plus seats. Adding vented will cost me ~$3800(800 for the vent, 3000 for the 18 way seats)
3) LCA? old Boxster has it, I never EVER used it. Forget it was there TBH.
4) and yeah, this leather is expensive especially on a base build, but DAMN I like it!
Worst complaint I can level against it is trying too hard to look like a Ferrari, but classic is classic for a reason. If this was my build I would consider adding the colored center wheel caps, but I can also appreciate the subtlety of the standard caps.
Get rid of some of the extended leather and the power steering plus and get the Burmester if you are into music. There is a big difference between them according to my ears.
I wish I could get rid of the extended leather, Cognac requires it as mandatory add.
