Finally placed my order

Hi guys,

A long time lurker, I've finally placed my order for a 991. Originally I was all set on a Carmine Red GTS, however, I made a last minute decision to upgrade to a Carrera White Metallic Turbo instead. Interestingly enough, it is a Model 2016 year. So I guess the 991.2 is set to be a 2017 instead.

Anyway, here are the specs:
991 Turbo
Carrera White Metallic
Two tone leather interior in black - garnet red
Sport design mirrors
Electric glass sunroof
Bi-xenon headlights in black - PDLS
Sport Chrono
20" Turbo S Wheels
Porsche crest embossed on head restraints
Aluminium PDK gear selector
Burmester high end surround system

Originally you could customise the stitching on the steering wheel as a z option. Now, it's not on the configurator anymore. They can do it so I've asked for a quote for it.

I had one previous dilemma. I originally wanted guards red on the instrument dials and on the sport chrono dials. However from the 3D visualizer, it seemed a bit too much. What do you guys think? Does anyone have the red instrument dials?

Allocation is either June or July. If June, the delivery ETA will be August, if July, then September. The end of summer cannot come fast enough~

Thanks!

Seen the red instrument dials in person. They're very bright - much brighter than the carmine rev counter on the GTS. I'd skip them. Have you considered white dials? Might go nicely with the exterior.

The red is also different because its guards red, whereas my interior is garnet red. If they had a choice like the GTS where they only colour in the rev counter that would be good.

White dials I did consider, but I wanted to keep everything in 2 colours in the interior - red and black. I think I might just stick with the black.

You mean white for dials or white for exterior colour?

Unless I'm not understanding you, option CLU is:

"Steering wheel rim with deviating stitching Exclusive" $6,800.00

This is from your configurator. It is listed under leather options.
