Thanks! I originally picked Neodyme since my wife liked it and it gave some pop. A few weeks later and I'm still undecided on it (my wife now feels neutral about it) so I'm considering taking it back out. Plus, it would take $1200 off the bill.

Anyone for the Neodyme?

I see Neodyme as one of those things like gold faucets/ and trim in bathrooms looks real dated, I believe it will become old really quick. You have subtle pop with the matte carbon fiber and red seatbelts.

Interesting take. The Neodyme isn't as brightin person, but I get where you're coming from! I like the neodyme infused carbon fiber much more than I actually like the neodyme strip. You've validated what's been on the back of my mind: Neodyme being a style that loses legs really quick (if it hasn't already).

Do you mean matte black aluminum? The only carbon fiber you can pick in the GTS has a gloss to it and I'm not sure I like that gloss look on the trim.

More opinions/votes always welcome!

Your initial post said you already selected "MATTE CARBON FIBER "

Here's my build https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSVRHEH8

I went with the deep brushed aluminum with the black leather interior. To be honest I have the Carbon Fiber in my current S Coupe and it was over $1500. I just don't think it's worth it. There is too little of it. Just a few strips.

Well in the GTS its under a $1,000. I had red seat belts in MY23 GTS. it did the trick. Did you get a chance to look at my build? tell me what you think.

"MATTE CARBON FIBER" is with the Neodyme option. I read your message as still having the subtle pop if I remove it from the build, which is why I was asking for clarification.

Thanks for the tip! That makes sense. Even just the black aluminum, it seems like it'll bring some character to the interior while still being subtle.

The red seat belts will definitely do it, I had the black brushed aluminum also. That's gonna look sharp

i think the only thing unusual about my build, which was pushed back nearly a month after it temporarily froze, is the pre-wiring for dashcam. anyone else getting that?

Your build looks great. I guess the only thing "Door-Sill Guards in Carbon Fiber, Illuminated" for $1610 seems a bit much. They just get dirty. My build.
