agree with everyone that red belts are a must if getting red stitching on interior.
One thing you should know that because of the TFT gauge (which is electronic), when you order a color for your gauges, only 4 of the 5 comes as white, red, etc, and so the look is rather unbalanced to my eyes.
I love white gauges too and had them on my 987 and 997, but I didn't order them on my 991 GT3 for that 4 out of 5 reason, and I still prefer the stock 991 GT3 gauges to the off balanced look of some white some not, due to the electronic TFT guage in the 991 cars.

My question is, would the larger tank = smaller FRUNK?

I think you will kill resale if you don't get the larger tank. Just my opinion. Most out there have it.

I daily driven my 991 GTS with the small tank, a tank only last me 1/2 week. Standard 991 is more efficient than a GT3, so that means even more fuel up for me. Plus, track MPG is probably 6-12mpg. EFT could get me through a day w/o fueling up.

Larger tank is a no brainer, I highly recommend you get the larger tank. As you wisely surmised, the GT3 needs a lot of gas and its nice to not visit the gas stationa all the time. The larger gas tank was free for the .1 GT3, but even for a hundred bucks and change, I would still check the box for the larger gas tank for the .2 GT3.
And no, the larger gas tank does not make the frunk smaller.

No, the tub is the turbo tub, so there's a space in the bottom under the gas tank for the front diff. The larger tank just extends into this space. So the front trunk stays the same size. My 15 front trunk was the same as my cayman, get the front tank, only penalty is the weight of the extra gas, but well worth the added range.

After looking at the photos, you're right. White gauges with the black TFT screen looks odd, especially I'm OCD. So I'll revert the gauges to stock and add Guard Red Belt. How much time into the build that these small changes can be requested? I'm sure it's not too late for me, but just curious.
Also, is CF interior played out or should I just go with the Brushed Aluminum Interior Package (free)? My logic is the CF interior matches with the bucket seats.

I actually light the white dial regardless of the TFT screen. You just need to make sure it ties-in with the rest of your theme. My 2006 Cayman S came with the white dials standard and my 2007 997.2 GR turbo also had white dials. Actually I miss them a little

Op, great spec. White car with all necessary stuff. I can't stand black wheels. So good choice on silver or Titan wheels.
