I am being required by my wife to reduce some options to try to get the price down another $1000 (or as close as possible). What should i remove?
Jet Black Metallic $0
Two-tone Leather Interior in Umber/Light Tartufo $430
Reversing Camera with ParkAssist Front and Rear $655
Stainless Steel Skid Plate (front and rear) $1,480
Panorama Roof $ 660
Wheel Arch Extensions in Black $990
21" 911 Turbo II Wheel with Arch Ext $3,965
Seat Ventilation Front $800
Light Comfort Package $250
Porsche Crest on Front Headrests $285
Steering Wheel in Anthracite Birch $365
Anthracite Birch Interior Package $345
Jet Black Metallic $0
Two-tone Leather Interior in Umber/Light Tartufo $430
Reversing Camera with ParkAssist Front and Rear $655
Stainless Steel Skid Plate (front and rear) $1,480
Panorama Roof $ 660
Wheel Arch Extensions in Black $990
21" 911 Turbo II Wheel with Arch Ext $3,965
Seat Ventilation Front $800
Light Comfort Package $250
Porsche Crest on Front Headrests $285
Steering Wheel in Anthracite Birch $365
Anthracite Birch Interior Package $345
jet blk/blk $0 car
18'' wheels $0
1. PASM $4K
2. PDCC $3.5
3. Bose $1.6
total about $9K,... you save $1K and satisfy your wife "requirement"...
...additionally I would take:
1.1. PTV Plus (Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus) $1.5
1.2. sport steering wheel w paddles $0
...and satisfy my soul.
If she starts complaining, it's time to update you wife too and lease another younger woman... take a trip to Ukraine...
But if you decide to keep your selected configuration and your current wife, then eliminate the insignificant "froth" and just keep the real coffee "substance"...
"froth":
1. Two-tone Leather Interior => get just standard black interior $0
2. Stainless Steel Skid Plate (front and rear) => useless, unnecessary $0
3. Wheel Arch Extensions in Black => useless gimmick, too little difference with standard, not much real extension $0
4. Seat Ventilation => insignificant, not much ventilation $0
5. Porsche Crest on Front Headrests => gimmick
6. Steering Wheel in Anthracite Birch => get standard black steering wheel or sport w paddles instead $0
7. Anthracite Birch Interior Package => get standard black interior instead $0
...as a result you save much...and communicate that optimistic news to your wife...

I, for one, do not think that the front skid plate is cosmetic. It protrudes slightly from the plastic bumper and is highly effective for mowing down coastal manzanita bushes with no visible markings beyond cleaning off the brush blood. It also took a direct hit from a Golden Gate bridge pylon with no damage beyond scrubbing off the yellow plastic residue.
That said, I do really like the look of the skid plate, so call me vain. I did not get the rear, as it is redundant with the tow package, and pure jewelry. I got the front from Suncoast, at a sustancial reduction in price.

...i would spend $10K differently. Instead of ALL your selected options I would take JUST 3:
jet blk/blk $0 car
18'' wheels $0
1. PASM $4K
2. PDCC $3.5
3. Bose $1.6
total about $9K,... you save $1K and satisfy your wife "requirement"...
...additionally I would take:
1.1. PTV Plus (Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus) $1.5
1.2. sport steering wheel w paddles $0
