PCCB are reserved for GTs currently. They were an option before. Overkill for GTS IMHO. Unless you are planning on tracking it regularly, but that would be better suited for GT4.

Here's my build. I just picked her up few months ago. The buckets are really comfortable for me (I'm 5'7 155lbs) when I tried them in GT4 they had on the lot. It was just a pain to get in and out especially if the doors are only slightly ajar. Which is an issue for me as I have a smaller garage. Not so bad if you can swing the door wide open.

Hello - First time Porsche Owner

Finally joined the club after 1.5 year long wait. Started off looking for Cayenne, but soon realized that would satisfy my driving itch. The 100K Cayenne S felt sluggish compared to the X6M I came from. I was fixed on getting off the M train with their ugly new design language, artificial drive...

I'm having second thoughts about the bucket seats as I'm probably not going to take it to the track.

I'd personally skip on the gloss black trim and use that money towards black brake calipers. Red calipers and aurum wheels remind me of McDonald's. You can get the trim wrapped in vinyl if you really hate satin black trim for much less.

May I also ask if there is a huge difference between the standard (free) sports seats plus, vs the 18 way sports seat plus ?

I understand there are manual forward/back, up/down levers. But is there any additional adjustments that don’t come with the standard seats (like thigh adjustments/lumbar support) that can only be made with the 18 way?

They're the same seats in dimensions in shape, but they are manual up/down and backwards/forwards. They are powered for seatback tilt. You'll be missing adjustable lumber support, adjustable thigh support, adjustable side bolsters, memory seats, and comfort access which moves your seat back and steering wheel up to assist in entry/exit.

For nav, you can enable via SD card method which takes under an hour including downloading files and formatting SD card.

Oak 100 would you do the standard seats again ?

Yes, they are comfortable and supportive to me. I'm also the only driver so set once and forget. You should try out all seats in dealership if you can.

 

[Oak100]

Not that I'd bother doing it (I never drive my 718 where I don't know where I am), but are you saying there is some NAV hack available by getting files to put on an SD card?

Yes essentially free DIY or another member Sima can enable it nonimal fee. the SD card is just used to install software and update maps. Make sure to read instructions or risk bricking your PCM .

UPDATE May 2022 - The method documented below in detail works, however a faster method using only a card has been created. The steps are discussed in Android Auto / Nav etc... Do-It-Yourself-Thread. I will update this thread again with those steps in a little more detail make this easier to...

The general recommendation is that if you are a regular track junkie, then stick to the steel brakes if possible, as the CC rotors are painfully expensive to replace. For fun track days, it's ok.
For street, CC brake advantage is less brake dust and much lower unsprung mass what helps with comfort and steering.

My wife really wanted to push me to have PCCB as it looks good to her

One helluva way to reduce brake dust, but they are yellow .

Full front and rear rocker PPF here.

 

[Oak100]

Cost for PPF various based on location and skill as labor is majority of cost. I paid almost 4K (in bay area California) for full side, rear rocker panel, and strip behind rear wheels. Find a highly experienced shop or you may end up with PPF coming off at edges or worse small knife mark between panels.

Hi everyone
Regarding the special colors (carmine red, shark blue, python green etc) are these metallic paints ?
how do they stand in the long term compared to metallic paints (such as gentian blue, aventurine green etc)?

The standard special colors are solid colors. In general metallic paints hide minor scratch and imperfections compared to solid color paints. Metallic and pearl paints are harder to color match on repairs.

Hi everyone
I have my final build all figured out. Had my entire family give their input on everything and I feel really good about it !
I want to thank everyone here for their help.

718 Cayman GTS 4.0 | Porsche Car Configurator

Can someone please confirm one thing for me ?
I selected the rear logo designation to just be 718.
Is this in color black still?

the build picture came up as a bright color for some reason and I just wanted to make sure it was black.
Thanks !

Very luxurious interior. Yes default is satin black unless you check the box for gloss black or painted option.
