Looks great, good choice on the full leather although some might see it as unnecessary. I'd maybe lose the PCM also, seems irrelevant to me in a car like the GT3. Your one of the lucky ones!

 

The options seem more suited to the standard GT3, not the RS. If it were me, I'd leave it pretty standard with the interiour options, and keep the car and experience focused. Either way, congrats!

 

Delete the stitching. IMO, b/c you can't get the whole interior in deviated stitching, the partial deviating stitching looks half assed.

Keep full leather.

Not a big fan of CF b/c it's a laminate that gets glued to the underlying plastic. Pretty much CF paint that may peel eventually.

Sport Chrono is silly in the GT3/RS b/c it adds nothing other than a stopwatch. For the money, get an accurate timing system.

PCM, no need for an RS, especially if you delete Chrono.

Instrument surround in ext color can be annoying/distracting. May want to think about other bits around the cabin that you can have painted.

Otherwise, you picked one of two colors that the RS should come in.

Revision #2 looks pretty good. I am asumming you meant J5 "Green"? This is definetely a car where less is more. Consider leaving the green on the outside and probably even the yellow. Good luck, that is an agonizing process!

Alan,

J5 Special Paint Green
78 Black Full Leather
810 Floor Mats - Interior Colour
640 -This breaks up the clean dash, but would be nice at the track? 640 Chrono Package Plus -
P16 PCM 2.1 - don't need, but it is a street car so nice to have in conjunction with 640 - you can do a lot of data logging on track.
450 Ceramic Composite Brakes - PCCB
P74 Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package
XSY Seat Belts - Speed Yellow - go with black - will not look good with green stitching (which will be very cool).
XXZ Foot Rest Aluminum
EZA Interior Package Carbon (Deleteable) - delete if you go with painted ctr console
EZB Carbon Package Switch Panel (Deleteable) - same as above
XME Rear Center Concole Painted Ext. Colour - go carbon
CDP Instr Surround Painted Ext. Colour - stay stock
24901 Dashboard Stitching Dev. Colour (Deleteable) - go dev. stitching it will look great in green! - I will post my car when I get (all same dev. stitiching in Orange) next month, you can decide then
24902 Door Stitching in Dev. Colour (Deleteable) -
24903 Door Handle Stitching Dev. Colour (Deleteable) - same
24904 Dev. Stitching Side Center Concole (Deleteable) - same
24905 Rear Side Panel Dev. Stitching (Deleteable)
24911 Door Pull Handle Dev. Stitching (Deleteable)

My car, completed today, due in 5 to 6 weeks:

Orange/BLK
full leather
PCCB
Xenon
PCM
PCM painted black
Rear Center console painted black
All dev. stitching options

Check out this poll I put up and see what people choose for options:

http://www.rennlist.org/ then go to 997 GT3/GT2 and do a search for 997 GT3 RS Options Poll - most popular items were Xenon, Full Leather, thicker steering wheel and PCCB - otherwise not much concensus on the balance, all personal preference.

Good luck

JCM

 

Now your making sense!

 

Yellow belts must go.

Congrats

 

#2

Congrats on such a great car Alan! Enjoy!

 

Post your final options once you make your final decision. It's great to have to ponder these types of decisions - congratulations.

 

Agreed. Yellow belts will look hideous inside a green RS.

In an RS, i'd follow the KISS (keep it simple stupid) philosiphy.
