Hello everyone! I've been really enjoying this site for a few months and trying to do a lot of research on how I want to order my new 911. I'm planning on finalizing my order by next weekend and its tough with just to many options but I believe I have it set except for a few items and I need your advice.

My car will be a white 7 speed MT with Carrera classic wheels painted platinum grey. I won't bother you all the options now but I will share next week when I have completed it. Here are my questions with the base car listed above. I am on some what of a budget to make the wife happy so I have to be selective

1. Do I go with the sunroof in glass which make the whole top of the car black which gives nice contrast with the white car and dark colored wheels?
Or go with the new front sport facia ? Which I really have not seen on the street much.
2. I know this has been a huge topic on here but PSP (power steering plus)?
I can't seem to get my hands on a car to test with and with out this option.
This one is really frustrating me. I think it would be fine with out but at low speeds does it turn into a wrestling match? It's not the 270.00 it's just about how the car acts.
3. I've decided on the carbon fiber options as I really like the look of CF.
Multi function steering wheel CF
Center console CF
Question? I think I would like the door sills in CF but I can not find any photos of this option and on the P web site it lists these but with no photo.
Anyone have any?

By the way I'm new to Porsche and coming from 2011 BMW so I'm really excited about this car!
Sorry this is so long but thanks for taking a look at it as I value all of you guys great info.

 

Welcome to the forum. For a pic of the carbon fibre sill, go to the Suncoast parts page and you will see pictures there of the various sills.

 

1. All about personal preference, but I would chose the sport fascia. You could even vinyl the roof black.
2. Don't get PSP unless you actually think to yourself that regular steering when parking is too tough.
3. CF trim is amazing! But I feel like you cant pick and chose, so you would have to get all the cf options. I've seen some pics before on here and it just looked superb.

 

Skip the sunroof. I have them on all of my cars except my Audi and I never use them. My 991 is white and I think it looks better with a white roof.

 

Go with the sport design package. Here are some pics. It is awesome on a white car. You do'nt need power steering plus the regular steering is excellent and feels better to me than the 997 and my "other" car (R8 spyder).

 

Thanks for the info guys! I will skip the roof and go with the sport facia. I'll also skip the PSP. I am just gonna go with the front sport facia as I have a plan for a rear wing in the future.

 

I had a similar dilemma, but I opted for the glass sunroof, PSE and sport fascia kit. All looks very great! Love the platinum wheels. All of the Porsche options are personal preference!

 

Similar to your build I went with the MF CF wheel and the center console CF trim. I added the door sills - illuminated ones. One of the Porsche Design Consultants talked me into it and there are pics out there. I went with the dash/door trim strips in leather instead of CF because I felt like it might be too much CF. I definitely wanted as little of the shiny metal looking trim as possible - even did the air vent surrounds in leather with deviated stitching. Some like the galvano/aluminum looking trim accents but they always bothered me on my 997.

 

We can get an inner door sill in Carbon Fiber too. Congrats on the car!

 

Dochusar, I have been looking at a lot of different configurations for some time now and a few weeks ago I seen yours for the first time and it was like I just got smacked in the face . I said that is it ,that's the one I want so with that said yours is the one I am modeling mine after so I hope you don't mind. That car is freaking hot . Yours is slightly out of my budget but looks wise mine will be close. I'm gonna have to skip the roof and mine will be a base 991 but other than that yours is my dream!
I probably could skip some of the CF stuff for more performance but I just really love CF so I have to get that stuff. Thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks Suncoast I was on your site last night and was able to locate that part and other stuff I maybe ordering from you.
