Ditched the CAB replaced with Coupe

Well - after many times back & forth, I decided to ditch my cab idea and go for the coupe after all - I love convertibles but as pretty as the 991 Cab is, it still doesn't like right to me - the coupe has a phenomenal line - the cab still looks chopped up... (no offense meant to those who ordered the cab).

My final (i hope) build is:

Exterior Color Z4 Basalt Black Metallic $710
Interior Color AZ Black leather interior $3,330
Exterior 425 Rear windshield wiper $360
748 Electric folding exterior mirrors $320
Performance 031 Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) with PASM sport suspension
$4,050
176 Sport Exhaust System $2,950
250 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) $4,080
640 Sport Chrono Package $2,370
658 Power Steering Plus $270
Wheels 427 20-inch Carrera Classic wheel $1,170
Wheel Accessories 446 Wheel center caps with colored Porsche
Crest
$185
XRP Wheel spacers, 5 mm Exclusive $490
Interior 276 Automatically dimming mirrors $420
342 Seat heating (front) $690
541 Seat ventilation (front) $840
583 Smoking package $0
630 Light Design Package $510
P05 Sport Seats Plus $800
XSX Seat belts in Guards Red Exclusive $540
Interior Leather 840 SportDesign steering wheel $490
XHS Center tunnel rear in leather with
decorative stitching Exclusive
$1,190
XSC Porsche Crest on headrests Exclusive $285
Audio and Communications 666 Telephone module $265

I am still thinking about PS w/espresso but black/black with red seatbelts probably will look the sportiest....

PCCBs and call it a day...

Seriously, great build. I love the 991. May go to one in the future. Right now, loving splitting time between the Cayenne TT and the California.

Please, please, please post pics when it goes you get it!

Yes, skipping the power seats - i am the only driver so hardly no need to move the seats frequently.... The dealer is talking me into getting the sunroof for resale value... Mmm.. thoughts?

I actually went the other direction. Had a coupe on order then saw some shots of the cab when it was released and switched. To my eyes, this is the best looking 911 cab they have made.

Then they came out with the 981 and it looked even better, but I am sticking to my guns here. When I bought my 987 I regretted not getting the 997. Time to finally try a 911.

When I was ordering the coupe one of the sales people at my dealer also told me that the sunroof was a 'must have' for resale. That didn't sell me completely. When I told my wife that I was thinking of going without a sunroof she wasn't in the least bit impressed. Sunroof was ordered.

Looks like you've got a great build. If you like stiff cars as I do, there's the added benefit of that. I'm not sure 20% more stiffness over the 997 would be enough for me.
