Two things I didn't order and hope I don't end up regretting: 1) sports mirror 2) dials in black. Personally, I like the contrast of color - hope it sticks!
Two other questions I'm looking for some insights on (right now):
1. I have normal speed bumps at my office building - any concerns with damaging the car under normal driving over the speed bumps?
2. Coming from '13 Boxster, I'm used to road noise. But, a lot reviews point this out as a major drawback. Is it really that bad?
Thanks!

Welcome to the club StevePlaysHard.
Nice build! I think I am a couple of weeks behind you.
I also watched every single Youtube video and the world is running out of content for me to consume. I went through a similar experience a couple of years ago buying a new BMW. That was Euro Delivery, so I had 2+2 months wait with a week of driving in between. The second part was the worst.
Now, it's 3 months in one shot. What I plan on doing in the meantime is go back to the dealer, and take lots of detailed photos and videos of a 911, and use these 3 months to educate myself on every single detail.

Coming from a 13 Box, you will have no more difficulties with Speed Bumps in the new 911. The road noise levels are also very similar, IMO. The wait is indeed the hard part, do you still have the 981 to drive around during the wait?

Dials will be fine with PDK - I thought the tach was hard to see on my '13 BS, so I ordered dials in black on my not-yet-built Targa (both MT).
I originally ordered the Targa on 10/14 but due some "changes" on my part, it's now scheduled for delivery mid-July. Waiting is all relative...

On road noise, if you've got a '13 Boxster and have done a test drive of any 991.x, you know what you're getting. What is quite prevalent is the noise of particles hitting the wheel well. Not sure if your Boxster makes these noticeable, but they are quite noticeable. I'd have preferred a little sound deadening material, personally, but it's not a deal breaker.
BTW, I've mentioned this before, but in my 5 month wait I also collected a bunch of 991.2 videos into a YouTube playlist. You've probably seen most of the interesting ones, but I leave it here just in case.

But you did have a few that were new to me, thanks.
