Im with Protamine on this one with a kicker: Yellow Deviated Stitching + Matching Yellow Tach & Chrono + Illuminated Door Sills in Carbon Fiber. I figured go big or go home on my build

Mine is this (not my video):

”frivolous” because I don’t use it much, and not particularly cheap…and something you won’t find on many cars…...but it’s saved my *** once while driving on a dark country road.

I thought that was Ruby.

Not sure why I did this but it kept bothering me that my hood ornament in gold and the gold emblem on the steering wheel needed to have the wheels also in gold. Am I OCD?

I saw yellow seatbelts with a racing yellow exterior, and i would have absolutely gotten that if i had ordered the yellow. But i chose blue because i didn't want to draw that much attention. But i was going back and forth on that one...

Maybe my green color matched paddle shifters and tach ring?

I'm a cynical b@stard. Hence the nickname

Just got this today to match the GT Silver paint on the car. Pretty frivolous at $120 but it's only money

Also got this. It's made of really high quality metal and feels really good. What do you guys think? Waste of $$$?

These 2 always make me smile. Illuminated door sills with Porsche puddle lamps and leather wrapped steering column.

No ambient lighting? I suspected that would have been mentioned in this thread.

Your thoughts on the option? There mostly seems to be a take it or leave it attitude amongst those that have equipped their 992 with it.

Frankly, I played with it when I first got the car and haven't looked at it much since. White which is stock actually looks best at night. I set mine to red, more because I bought the option and felt I had to set it to something other than white (LOL).
