Review my 992 gts build!
hi! I was able to get an allocation for porsche 992.2 4GTS. And I need to submit my build soon, was wondering if I'm missing anything that I should consider? I'm really stuck on the colors between white, ice grey, vanadium grey, and gt silver. I know I'm not adventurous haha Thank toy for your time! https://porsche-code.com/PS4AH965

I would choose the Lane Change Assist and the Surround View. You want to minimize the chances of banging up your baby when parking and changing lanes. I personally also really like the Carbon Ceramic Brakes. The only thing I don’t like about them is the price. They also will not shower your wheels with rotor rust when you wash your car, and will dust your wheels a lot less in between washes. Controversial, but I personally think they perform a lot better too.

Of the "boring" colors, Ice Grey Metallic is my favorite. There's a thread floating around with Ice Grey pics and you can see how many different hues there are in various lighting conditions.
For seat selection, I'd really suggest sitting in a set of 4 and 18 ways prior to ordering if you can. It ends up being a really personal choice and people are always surprised at which fits them better. I found the infinite adjustability of the 14/18 ways to be really useful especially on long road trips. Depending on your climate, ventilated seats are a game changer too
There's also some relatively cheap options that you should throw in that'd cost a lot to do after the fact. Smoking package, roof transport, dashcam prep, etc.
Otherwise, the build looks great to me. Congrats on the allocation and hope you can enjoy it soon!

At this price...
- add the 18-way memory sport seats which will include Comfort access functionality (seats and steering wheel retract when car turns off) Electric adjustment of memory function for seat position settings, both exterior mirrors, steering column and other personalized in-car settings plus the additional 14 seat adjustments are worth the $3K over standard 4-way sport seats.
- add the Premium Package with Remote ParkAssist ...it includes 3D Surround View which IMO better than the standard surround view and adds Remote parkassist for an additional $480...don't know many people that use Remote ParkAssist but for the additional cost, the 3D camera views are worth it.

Love it, but I'm biased as this is very close to my car. IGM is incredible in person and there is no bad hue on this metallic--ie it looks terrific in every lighting condition.
Things I would personally add... 18 ways, ventilated seats, and crests on the headrests. Excellent spec otherwise.

Your missing PDCC, if you want that. Im not sure if its available on your build, but from what I hear its not an available option till later. For me, its a must have.

I don't believe so...3D surround view was only available in 992.1 with Active Parking/ Remote Park Assist options.
Opting out of the Active Parking/ Remote Park Assist option or Premium Package option that contained those features, you were still able to select the standard non 3D Surround View option.

I'm not a fan of red leather interiors. I think they are too polarizing. It will affect the resale for better or worse. If it were my car - which it isn't - I would go with a truffle brown interior. Anyway, I took your build and made a few suggestions...minus changing the red interior since that is preference.

If you are into listening to when you drive, consider the Burmester-it is significantly better. Is it worth the extra cost?- at your price point I would not settle for "good enough"
