Ordering my first Porsche

I plan to place my order next week (or at least, before the 18th). Drove the Porsche, expecting to not like it that well. Was planning to purchase a SLS, Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, or a Maserati GT MC. 1 drive in the Porsche, and I fell in love.

My planned order as of this moment (input appreciated):
4S
18 Way Sport Seats with the Premium Plus Package (memory package)
Burmester Audio Package
Agate Grey with Wheels Painted Platinum Satin (20" Carrera S)
Full Leather interior
Park Assist Front and Rear
Power Folding Mirrors
Model Designation on Doors in Silver (iffy on this one)
AeroKit Cup
BiXenon in Black, with PDLS
PDDC and PASM
PDK
Power Steering Plus
PowerKit
Adaptive Cruise Control with PAS
Luggage Net in Passenger Footwell
Sport Design Steering Wheel
Seat backs covered in Leather
Carbon Interior Package
Center Console in Carbon
Door Sills in Carbon, Illuminated


This car will not have to be my daily driver as I own a 2012 Jeep SRT 8. Although, I may end up driving the Porsche most every day. Previous car was a 2008 Corvette Z06, before that a Z4 M Coupe.

Nice to meet you all

Besides you can order vinyl stickers for far less money. It's the same thing too.

Check with Ki Studios one of our sponsors. I'm positive they can do it for you.

Are Sport Exhaust and Chrono including in any of packages you ordered? If not they are must haves. I agree on side decals, no need for them...

Congrats on the new Porsche. That's a helluva nice spec you have there. It's gonna look totally awesome!!

Btw, I would pass on the power steering plus.

Nice build! Congrats!

Personally I would pass the model designation on the doors and the illuminated door sills. I would get non-iluminated carbonfiber instead and opt for the black painted wheels. Given the fact that you opted for the black headlights, it would look very agressive together with the black wheels and the agate grey exterior with aero kit cup.
Just my personal opinion of course

C4S over the Gallardo and the R8, maybe you can share what you fell in love with. Interesting other choices you considered.

Sport exhaust and Sport chrono come with the powerkit he opted.

Why not LED instead of bi-xenon?
