Nice build! The MPPSK gets better with age and I hope you have access to 93 Octane, the pops and burbles are loads of fun. Enjoy!

I personally like the blue eco gauge better.

Looks great. I got the digital display but disabled the color changing so I can have analog gauges all the time. But it presents a lot more information than the standard cluster in my opinion. I just wish they used the center area more, but with HUD they move a lot of the data above the dash so you can see it easier while driving.

OP, I love your car. I am considering this exact build, different color though.
Do you have any additional comments after a few more days?
I am a little on the fence about the MPPSK. I think I would love the sound, I like to put the top down and motor along on twisty backroads. Just don't want to be too loud, especially cruising on the freeway or driving around town. I've read the sticky post on MPPSK and it seems good, although there are a few comments re loud startup.

I think the MPPSK is def worth it. I love the sound on the start up. If you are cruising around town or on the freeway, you will likely have it in eco mode or comfort mode and it definitely not too loud. It's a very comfortable, fast and good handling car. I get a lot more enjoyment out of it than my boxster. I've found myself driving it with the top down at 40 degrees. With the neck warmer, heated steering wheel and seats, I'm not cold. The airnet in the back works really well. With the windows up, I barely get any wind inside at all. I also love the convertible top with zero blind spot. My boxster was really bad about this.

It gets louder in sport or sport +, but it's a good loud, not an annoying loud.

I also like the aluminum dark carbon trim more everytime I see it. I've gotten a lot of compliments about this trim so far. It's almost like a cheaper carbon fiber.
No other regrets other than the apple CarPlay is neither good nor worth it.

You will love it.

Feel free to ask any other questions.

Thanks for the reply, this all sounds great. Glad you like the car.
