I'm glad I stated the above as I had another change in my order today. (hangin' head, feeling much shame).
I replaced the 19" Carrera Classic wheels (5 spoker), with the 19" Carrera Sport wheels (10 spoker).
The window should be closing in the next week, so perhaps this is my last change.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I gotta tell ya (full confession mode ON) -
The hardest choice right now is the interior color. With the window closing, I can't decide whether to go:
1) Full Black Leather Interior
2) Natural Grey (Full) Leather Interior
3) Natural Brown (Full) Leather Interior with stock black Alcantara headliner and black deviating carpet
I want the car to look "sporty"--I'm not interested in a real "luxurious" 997. I want to eventually add Rennline aluminum pedals.
I originally thought Natural Brown. But when I found out about the stock black Alcantara headliner, I thought I needed to add the leather headliner option. By this time, the cost to go NB was pretty substantial and I thought it wasn't "sporty" enough. However, I still think the NB is probably the best match of color to RR.
I then thought Natural Grey, but I wasn't sure I liked the thought of the RR with a "grey" interior. However, from what I hear, this is probably closer to a very dark grey than a stone grey.
I eventually decided on Black. It was an easy match with other pieces in the interior. It would hold up to everyday, year round use better than any other color. However, its drawback is that it is a "painted" on color and could show wear more easily, especially on the adaptive sport seats.
So, I'm back second guessing my selection--either NB with black headliner, black carpet, black or NB visor and dome console; Natural Grey everything; or Black Full Leather everything.
Here are some pics that I've assembled (apologies if you picture appears, I'll remove it shortly):

This is just pure evil. Now there's something else I have to consider changing on my order, too.

Hey Jeff...
Thanks for all the RR pics! I have to say that RR is now in competition with SY and Orange for my next car,....whenever that is.

My vote is Natural Brown with deviating black carpets. That way the standard black interior bits like visors, steering column, seat belts will perfectly complement the interior without adding additional cost. This is not a common interior found on most Porsches and will add to the uniqueness of your car, if that is important to you..........

Wow! NB with black carpets looks amazing, and I was not certain upon your ealier comments if I would like it. The benefit is that it shows excellent contrast against the black and silver accents on the dash and doors. When I was young, I used to think the car had to look good from the outside. As I began to spend more time in them, I decided that they view from the driver's seat had to be good if not better...
Good luck!
