Thanks Woopsi. Glad you had such a great experience.
Could you elaborate on the options that were previously not available as i have a June delivery car and want to be sure i have missed nothing.
The major one is the anti-glare matte carbon trim option for the interior. On regular order, if one takes that option, the highlight trim will be gone, it will be all black carbon. There are a few cars on the production floor that had that option and their dash is all black. But at the factory I was told if I want to keep the acid green trim together with the matte carbon, I can. And I did switched.
Second was the painted key, and the pouch. Since acid green wasn't a selectable colour at the dealership ordering level, I picked black to match the car, but which is kind of pointless as it looks like the regular black plastic piece. At the factory I was offered and changed to acid green for the painted panels on the key. The accompanied key pouch can be also be customized beyond the standard black leather with acid green piping, I can have all the leather panels in green if I want to or pretty much infinite combinations.
There are also other interior trim combinations that can be had, like picking leather colours for individual panels instead of accepting the standard configuration as the leather panels are all made right on the floor piece by piece, unlike standard cars where the panels are 'mass produced'.
I guess this is on par with going through Porsche's Exclusive program.
