Turbo Cab - what options should I get?

it's time to upgrade my 996 cab to a new turbo cab. got the option list from my dealer and am having some fun going thru all the choices. at this rate it will be $175k by the time i'm done....

what are the must have options?
what are the nice to have options?
what are the "under no circumstances get this" options?

thanks, alan

Must have option number 1...a roof! (just kidding)...

I really like the adaptives, sport chrono...all else I could take or leave...

I would also add the ceramic brake set-up.

PCCB's
If a light paint = white, yellow, silver, red, cobalt. Get painted seatbacks.

PCCB's are a must when ordering. Less brake dust and if you decide to upgrade the power of your car you will want it. This option costs over 20k if you add it later.

sport chrono- must
sport adaptive seats- must
thicker steering wheel- must
small carbon package- up to you if you like carbon
deviated stiching- depends on color of car

need more info. to go further, like exterior and interior colors

Check out this thread on Rennteam. Goes through the options list for a 997TT pretty clearly.
