992T Colour Choice

[bennno]

So which of the these do I choose, theres about a grand difference. Stripper spec - manual, no rear seats, adding heated gt wheel, park assist cam, elec mirrors, alloy filler cap. Leather requires £700 of seat ventilation - but i think 992 interior needs contrast stitch etc

views please....

The option I've gone for (GT Silver with the green stitching/stripe T interior) wasn't there. I think Python Green with the grey stripe interior looks nice on the launch cars too.

I've asked the dealer if they can put GT3 side skirts on mine for the low budget GT3 Touring look. I like the idea of putting green 991R style bonnet / roof stripes on my car but I think I'll bottle it!

I think you’ve got the main “essentials” in there. Rear seats are free - suspect for resale they’d be handy potentially. I added the bling door illumination thing and a red Rev counter and the crested centre storage cover - just cause I like them - far from essential though!

I can't remember where I saw or heard it ... seat ventilation makes the seats less comfortable and I actually prefer Sportex; so I'd do without the leather seats. Other than that, less might be more ... that being said I would want better audio as the standard is pretty dull and lifeless

Would certainly add back in the rear seats (and by definition seat belts) to avoid problems and costs later on and makes the rear a more useable area. No one would notice the weight in all honesty - it’s simply a way for Porsche to shave off their costs on the marketing basis of less weight. It’s Nick Murray and his videos where he talks about ventilated seats being stiffer because of the element matrix within the seat cushion. Personally I think this is an option for much hotter climes rather than the UK…especially if you have ticked the heated steering wheel option.

Useful feedback, so it seems rear seats worthwhile residually.

Not leather / ventilated seats - stick with sportex.

So it’s gt silver with striped t sportex, or plain sportex plus red stitching….

I’m still on the fence about adding the rear seats back in.. grrrrr decisions, decisions!

Anything + leather. Alcantara is awful.

Alcantara isnt an option - its a woven fabric as standard

I've optioned rear seats in mine so the dogs have some where to sit and can be belted in.

I couldn't work out if better with or without for that reason...... less to scratch without and more space

Lots of threads around on specific protective covers for rear seats and dogs etc especially on Rennlist. Or just use a couple of blankets..

Don't want to hi-jack the thread, but recent legislation asks for dogs to be suitable restrained while travelling in a car.
Ok when you have a hatch - chuck them in the boot with a dog guard.

More difficult in a coupe. In my current car, they generally have their harnesses on and are attached to the seat belts when they travel any distance.
works well. Should be the same for the 911.

Sorry for going a little of piste OP
