Here's my Turbo build. 2 weeks in the making 😂

Frozen Blue over Limestone with turbonite trim and rails retained, mirror caps and sideblades in carbon fiber, and turbonite-painted 21" Turbo wheels, and a bunch of fluff I probably don't need but still want.

I welcome any advice, feedback, or suggestions over any details I may have missed.

And any regrets by a current owner regarding any options/specs you've chosen that match mine.

Only 2 weeks to check everything but the Passenger Display
This is just loaded and well-designed on the color front. I give up, cannot pick on anything.

May be one, spoke too soon, Porsche Design Clock, you are aware that it is not readable at night. Sports Chrono Clock is nicely lit up, but limited functional value. Design Clock is like a wristwatch with glow paint for hands and markers that do not get enough light to glow in the dark. The backlight does absolutely nothing to see hands or markers.

Since you are already pretty much going all out and spending $132k, why not throw another $1000 at it and take delivery at a PEC closest to you? I’ve heard only glowing reports from those who did this and I was planning on it, too, before we bought our 4S off the dealer lot.

haha, yes I’m fully aware of the low readability of the PD sub-second clock because I already have this optioned on both my Taycan and 911. I wouldn’t say unreadable though because on both cars when I do turn up the backlighting via PCM menu, I can actually make out the time at night, but just barely. Doesn’t matter anyway - I just like the look, especially during the day, and as an Apple Carplay user, there’s always the time displayed on the main screen anyway for when the PD clock becomes less readable at night.

My 50 cents

Brake Calipers in High Gloss Black is maybe better with frozen, than default red ones?
considering all the carbon you’ve put, you could add Heated GT Sport Steering Wheel with Carbon Fiber Inlays. I didn’t take it, and I’m sad

and this one, which makes me smile each time I take my car: Door-Sill Guards in Carbon Fiber, Illuminated. So niiiiice!

You never know, so add Preparation for Porsche Dashcam.

Depending on your needs, you can save a lot with sticking with the Bose sound system

I thought about it, but neither PEC are close enough of a drive that I’d be willing to do on an EV. Atlanta is the closest and it’s still 726 miles away. Next time I buy 911 or other ICE model, absolutely! But I’ve already experienced my share roadtrips on various electric cars and have come to the conclusion that I just don’t have the patience for it even on a Tesla using Tesla’s great charging network.

I have not completely ruled it out though. It will all depend on how busy I’ll be this summer.

I hear ya on the whole EV roadtrip thing. Might be worth seeing if they’ll let you “take delivery” at PEC to take advantage of the hospitality and track time in a “similar car”, but have the car shipped to your local dealer for the real delivery thereby avoiding the 726 mile EV roadtrip.
