Thanks for the feedback..does white with aurum wheels look out of place? I think it looks pretty neat as that was my first choice when I was shopping for a wrx sti in the mid 2000s but ended up with blue and gold

No it doesn't look out of place. White with gold or bronze wheels looks really good. Go for it. Also get the red seat belts to match the 12 o clock strip . Also consider getting the PORSCHE on the back painted black so it blends in with the strip.

Agree, doesn't look out of place. I currently have a white GT4 gold wheels and love it.

This is how I would build mine. I would pick the silver wheels though because i have gold aftermarket wheels. If I didn't then I would pick the aurum wheels.

After driving a few thousand miles, you really start to understand how nice it COULD be to not be so selective about parking ramps, driveways, and moderately steep transitions of any kind. I'm not really sure what the mechanical hurdles it would be to add it, but it sure would be nice at some point!
This x 1000. I would go trade mine in tomorrow if this was an option!

Can anyone comment on sport chrono or dash gauges in guards red on a guards red car? too much red? Too difficult to see on a track? Just debating on that (and maybe the bose but I basically never listen to music in my car so as long as I can hear google maps and podcasts when taking a trip, I'm good). But I think the rest of my spec is pretty much set provided PTS doesn't magically open between now and if/when I get a car.

I would 100% get the blue they have in the configurator but that''s not what gentian blue actually looks like

I’m also disappointed that FAL is not available. Probably means I need to move or rip up my driveway.

My quick 2 sense on your build...add the steering column wrapped in leather. Kicked myself after the fact that I didn’t get it. Very minor but adds a nice touch. If you can afford it, best to add an option now so you don’t kick yourself later, especially if you think you’ll hold onto the car for a long time.

Charlie and blackhole nice builds. I will go with he Porsche logo in black. I can't comment on the red chrono, I feel like I've read that here before..the steering column in leather is a nice touch

Default Just something to note...

On my 2019 Carrera T, any color gauges other than stock removed the Carrera T logo from the tach. Something to confirm before ordering if you want the GT4 logo on the tach.

Hope the auto start/stop and cylinder deactivation is as easy as pushing a button as C&D says. That coupled with a bypass pipe for the particulate filters/muffler should make me happy!

Sweet, I wonder what they'll charge for the PDK upgrade.
