NJ: Congrats on your order, our cars will probably be neighbors on the production line. One suggestion on the leather sun visors - if you order them with the car they'll come with annoying yellow airbag warning decals. Order them from Gert at carnewal.com and you'll get the visors sans decals (and I think the price is about the same as ordering them with the car).

Their price at Carnewal is 570 EUR (US$670).

That's the reason I got them with the car. The option was $560.

The feeling on the vynil sun visors is horrible. Even a KIA has better sun visors.

BTW, It was the only affordable 911 I could consider to replace my 01 Boxster S

I think the $110 difference is worth it to avoid the risk of destroying the leather sun visors trying to remove the yellow warning stickers. And you'll still have the original vinyl ones if you sell the car and need the CYA of having the warning labels in place.

The underside stickers (the ones you normally see) come off pretty easily. The topside stickers, which cover the mirror covers don't appear that they will come off at all.

Also, I'd suggest you skip the Porsche wheel crests. Get the stock ones that say GT3 and order the ones with the crest from your dealer. I'm sure a future buyer will appreciate being able to get the original GT3 hub covers.
