175,000 MSRP GT3 991 - help me finalizing the order

I'm placing order for new 991 gt3. The car will have almost every available option. I would like to have 6speeders feedback on some options and make sure I'm not missing anything. The car basically will have GT silver exterior with full red stitches ( wherever possible), carbon fiber and some interior components painted in red. Some options required porsche approval like
  • center consol painted red in combination with carbon interior package
  • custom floor mats
  • red roll cage
  • personalized logo for the door panels

Porsche Exclusive Department has been very helpful facilitating this order. Much better than our local dealer who have been pushing me away from placing this order. All good so far but I need some help in the options highlighted below

OPTIONS
  • U2 GT Silver Metallic
  • 68 Black leather interior, seats leather/Alcantara in conjunction w. option contrast seams in Red
    should i ask for seat center in red like the gt3rs 4.0/gt2rs ?
  • 082 90l-Fuel tank
  • 602 Full LED headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +)
  • P13 Automatically dimming interior and exterior mirrors with integrated rain sensor
  • XUB Painted headlamp cleaning system cover Exclusive
  • XYB Fuel filler cap with Aluminium Look finish Exclusive
  • 250 Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
  • 450 Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
  • 474 Lifting system front axle
  • 431 20-inch GT3 wheel
  • 447 Inflatable spare tire added
    should i keep it or remove it. $500 option
  • 003 Club sports package
  • 583 Smoking package
  • 630 Light design package

    [/B]
  • XES Preparation outer door-sill guards, illuminated Exclusive
  • CXX Individual CT-option (only after consultation) Exclusive SAR 0
    1)Roll cage painted in guards red, 10 working days, approx Retail price

    Porsche is charging nearly $4000 to change the color from black to red
    2)XYG center console painted in guards Red, approx retail price $500

I have similar interior in my gt3rs 3.8 but it is missing some options like red stitches on the gear ****, steering column, etc.
  1. Do i need to add/remove any options
  2. Any area missing red stitches from above?
  3. should i keep the red roll cage or do it after car delivery ?

I used porsche Configurator to give you an idea on how the interior will look like




my gt3rs

A, that car is going to look quite stunning.
Specific to your question, I would leave out the spare tire. The primary reason being that in the event of a puncture are you going to have the strength to undo the center nut? I tried it once on my GT3 and could not. Just my experience.
Also $4k is a tad much for red painting of the roll cage and for me even if money is no object I would leave it out.... spend the money on charity or Porsche Driving School.
Congrats on the spec....it's awesome.

i love it, like my 997TT interior...just make sure since you did the red stitching that every conceivable piece that can have it does have it...i missed a few and had to do it later which is a major PIA...sunvisors, gearshift, anything and everything, otherwise it will be grey stitching and will look outta place

How does the Spare tire work? Comes with a one lug wrench, Jack, airpump, and can fit in trunk for $500? Not a bad deal.

Are you taking delivery in US or KSA? Thought the spare was a requirement in KSA.
