Default GT4 Special Wishes Build

I picked up my GT4 last year and have been wondering how I might get some details on the build. As you can see by the window sticker, there is a 15K charge for Special Wishes. I'm not sure what that includes. The car is swathed in leather, black endplates on the wing, and black mirrors, which appear to be painted. It also has stripes which I always assumed were decals, but I'm not sure there either. The entire car is covered in PPF so it's not so easy to be certain. Is there a path to get the details on the Special Wishes?

Wow, That has got to be the one of the all time highest msrp for a non-PTS 981 GT4. Looks like it’s an option for those that just want to do something different to their car. Google search turned in the following…

it looks like pretty much every option was check on this one. the 15k for the special wishes build cant just be for leather wrapped air vents - thats outrageous. might help to throw some pics of the interior up, might make it easier to see what else was done. but if the stripe, mirrors and wing endplates are painted and not stickered - thats probably part of it as well

Some regular on here had a special wishes GT4 with painted stripes; to my memory it looked exactly like that, and when he listed the car on here for sale he made a big deal out of that. Should be findable with some searching.

I had a $150,000 996TT X50 back in the day with $35,000 worth of options; the X50 was $17k of that and the 0ther 18k ($32,000 inflation-adjusted) was leather, and this on a car (Turbo) that already covers everything in leather! Additional costs (from memory) were for upgrading all leather to their premium, Aniline Dyed leather, seatbacks, rear console, speaker grills, instrument panel (underneath the plastic, the part the 5 instruments were in was leather), coathooks, fuse box cover, and a few other places. I picked it up used at 17,000 miles and paid maybe $5k more for it than a standard $115,000 Turbo was going for at that time, and all of that was for the X50 Powerkit option. The leather brought nothing.

Well, searching the forum I found a post from the individual I purchased the car from looking for the same thing, information. But so far nothing is definitive on what "Custom Tailoring" entails. I've reached out to the dealership where the car was ordered.
