The complete configuration:
My aim is to have the car set up for potential all-weather use over long, meaning cross-continental distances. Ergo: PDLS* headlights; PASM; PTV; Convenience Package (windstop, auto AC, heated seats) ; seat ventilation, smoking package (for covered compartment and additional** 12V source.) Painted wheel caps (the side view needs a touch more color, and to help the transition from the Agate Grey Metallic to red calipers.) As previously mentioned: blue top and Yachting Blue partial leather interior.) Lastly, model deletion***. The tail is on the verge of being too busy looking, and I feel the model designation is just crammed in. The important word is still there, and it's a nice [i]homage[/i] to a more traditional look. If there was simply "981" that might be ok, but then there's the Cayman's identical designation. The Boxster S order designation is "981330" but that would be a bit much, too. And speaking of tradition, I'm getting the 6-speed stick.

* IMPORTANT NOTE for prospective buyers: Bi-Xenons themselves are standard equipment; it's the dynamic system (PDLS) that's optional.
** Near as I can tell the primary one, along with the Aux connector, is [i]in[/i] the glove compartment, an odd choice.
***Another note to prospective buyers: when using the 3D configurator, you'll see that the vertical position of "PORSCHE" changes depending on having the model script or not. The 3D view will also show the ride height change with PASM.

ps: I did a little creative letterspacing to avoid having semi-colon/parenthesis combinations turning into winky smilies.
