Sorry about how it came out when I coppied and pasted.
So there are a few dillemas.
Color: Atlas Grey and meteor grey would save 2-3k dollars. Do you reccomend either one of those colors and what is the difference between the three in the sunlight.
Leather: Are any other leather options a must such as domelamp, sun visors. Which are worth it and which are not. We are trying not to spend too much but get the most worth it items that are easily noticed.
Interiors: Other options we would go for are standard beige, stone grey or stonegrey black bi color. We arn't sure what stone grey looks like in real life. Benefit of darker colors of course are less reflection from dashboard.
Lastly: Are there any other nice options you guys would go for like painted exterior color panels in the interior or other leather options that are a good idea. Also does deviated white stiching exist?
Thanks very much for input.

Exterior:
http://www.europeanspeed.com/index.htm
That's the place to see the interior/exterior colors, they have a page where you can see all 3 greys together. But the short version is that Atlas grey is the darkest of the grey, almost black like under most light condition. Slate is the next step lighter grey and meteor is the lighters grey.
In my mind if you picture a 1-100 scale with Artic silver on one end and basalt black on the other, atlas grey will be around 90, slate will be around 60 and meteor around 45.
IF a unpainted black plastic strip around the bottom of the car bothers you, then you would want to have the front lip, side skirts painted to match. Be warned that the front lip is awfully low stock and it WILL scrape, it came unpainted from the factory for a reason, as it stands the unpainted lip is about a $200 easily replacable part.
Interior:
I have stone grey leather in my car, it about the same color as the meteor grey car in the about website, obviously not shiny but the shade of grey is about the same.
You would want the leather finish on the sun-visor, stock one is cheap vinyl-looking stuff
The domelamp one is really optional, it basically just replaced the plastic trim piece with a leather-trimmed one, nice to have it but not a must-have other.
If you like carbon fiber stuff, the carbon package look pretty good.
one more thing, you could order the center console lid in logo-ed leather, I saw it in atomic80's car and it really look good. Standard one is un-logoed plastic btw.
This is Porsche, deviated stiching in white is of course order-able, they will do it in lime-green if you really want it, you just have to pay for it
Have fun second guessing your choices, just about everyone here did that and the bottom line is that it's your car and you are the final judge on what you want in your car. Hope there isn't a long wait for you.

The full leather is standard so there shouldn't be a upcharge on that. I went for the Meteor, looks great and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Porsche really rips us on the options IMO.

I have inserted my comments:
Couple other things, if you really think you want to keep it for awhile, get all the goodies YOU want, some are a must, some are frivilous, but who cares, enjoy the car and get all the stuff that will make you happy!

Your spending all that money - spend a little more and get a slightly better sound system that is still covered under warranty...
Adaptive Sport Seats are GREAT!!! Luv Mine!!!

I one thing that I have that I thought was a waste of money, but now love is the stainless steel door guards illuminated. My wife wanted them so I gave in. I just love that cool turbo font light up when I open the door.
