Thanks!
Wow --that's some list .
I don't see the PASM option .
I question the carrera red touches on the natural grey . They provide contrast but I prefer using eithet aluminum or carbon so offset a stark interior.
I like the black carpet idea .
I like all the other choices.
Great car color too!!

i think pasm is standard on S - it is in Canada.
i would do the centre console in aluminum instead of exterior.
the sport rather than sport design wheel - less busy.
crested head and arm rests - cheap but great option.
did you consider the red deviated leather on the door airbag strip instead of the whole insert?
do the interior air vents in aluminum - goes nice with the shifter.
leather around the prk shifter trim.
btw - wicked build - there will only be one of those and it will be hot

I saw a car the other day that had the aluminum look, wasn't too crazy about it. Have you seen it in person at all? Personally, I would go with painted exterior color or carbon instead of the aluminum. As someone pointed out to me as well, be careful what you do in what color. You don't want someone to step into the cabin and have the first thing that catches there eye be an air vent. You want to draw the most attention to the most important parts of the interior - wheel, gauges, etc.

It matches up great with rennline pedals.
Plus I love the Techart steering wheel . I chose leather for simplicity and more hands on personal appeal but the carbon is gorgeous.
yrralis1, car looks great in the pictures, I'm sure it looks even better in person.
One question that I had for you, and sorry to thread crap, is do you know how exclusive the "Exclusive" program is? Aka, if I'm willing to pay, will they do a PDK multifunction in Alacantra? I hopped into a GT3 today with Alacantra wheel, shifter, and brake handle, and it had much better grip and feel then standard leather. The online configuration does not have a multifunction PDK in Alacantra, but I didn't know if it's something that could be ordered regardless.

To answer your question --OEM is never cheap and some things are must haves but others are not. The aftermarket fills the gap and some things are more expensive than OEM and others are not . My leather steering wheel is in the ballpark of 2500 bucks (then -- and worth every cent) but the console was under 250 .

I have no opinion about the appearance items. Those are solely personal.I'd make sure that you get the PASM system and I don't see the (lowered) sports suspension (-20mm). For me, that would be a must have.
I'd also lose the parking sensors. They really aren't necessary, prematurely beep if you're trying to get in to a tight spot, mar the look of the rear bumper, and preclude you from changing the bumper should you choose to do so in the future.

There are a couple of things that I don't get or like... The new aqua blue metallic looks lovely! But I suggest that you go with the Dark Gray Top. Also, I don't mean to disrespect but why are you getting Red inlays on a blue car? I don't think that it will match up... I suggest that you go with a gray interior and add Carbon Fiber trim on the doors, console strip, etc... Also remeber that Aluminum gets waaaay too hot under the sun!
Everything was ok with me.................until you said RED inlays for seats. I really would be ok with it if the car was black, red, or meteor gray, however with aqua blue exterior, center console exterior color, all the black and gray and aluminum trim, the RED will just stick out like a sore thumb.

All those exclusive options are in the order guide, but not on the website build.
ie: Alcantera seat inserts for instance - they are listed as deviating color alcantera seat inserts or something.
