Oldman40,
I did consider deviated stitching. But after much consideration, I decided not to because of the delay it would cause in the order as well as the extra 3k. I really like the look of the shell on the seatback. It breaks up the leather just the right amount. Also, another reason I did not go with leather to replace the silver on the doors, dashboard and around the PDK shifter. Thanks for the advice.

good reasoning, i'm glad you've put a lot of thought into this, that is the key to long term enjoyment on your custom build imo. looking forward to the pics in a few long months from now!

Wowww that is a loaded build! Very nice!
Have considered white dials / silver belts instead of the red? I personally havnt seen red accents in an espresso interior before, but if you're certain they will compliment each other then go for it!
Have you tried out the power steering plus before?
For the rear center tunnel in leather, does that include the center counsel in leather?
Also, I think you should get the (reasonably priced) folding mirrors with the convenience lighting, especially with such a loaded build.
Oh and get the crests on the head rests! Very nice touch and would look great in an espresso interior.
Here is a pic of my headrests (using flash in the photo) http://flic.kr/p/dxueQZ
Oh and get smokers package even if you don't smoke. Adds a nice cover for the useless cubby hole to add a finished look

Great build! But what kind of phone do you have? I would think that you can just connect your car to your phone via the Bluetooth hand free profile, thereby making the telephone module unnecessary. I thought that module was just for older phones or phones without Bluetooth. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

Hmmm....didn't realize that about the phone module. I have an iPhone, so I can delete that option. Any thoughts on the smokers package? I will consider deviated stitching and the Porsche crest on the headrest.

Congrats on a nice build.
Two points:
Some have stated that the needles are difficult to see with Red dials.
In addition, the jury is still out on Power Steering Plus...
