Prelim Specs - Have I lost my mind?

Prelim Specs - Have I lost my mind?
I'll start by saying that my choice of color and options will likely have a polarizing effect on the critics, but I would like to hear your input.
I'm especially worried that this spec is 'over the top' although this is coming from a guy who drives a 3400 pound yellow hi-liter.
While I feel that all Porsches are special, I want this particular TT to be my 'extra special' one that I will likely keep until the next generation 911 turbo comes along.
The basic car description is:
An Orange paint to sample 997TT coupe (same color as RS)
6-Speed,Sport Chrono, LSD, sport shifter
Black Leather, Regular power seats with heat
Bluetooth/iPod
Full Orange deviated stitching
Orange paint on shift trim, trim strip, belt outlet, door pulls
Extra leather goodies

I am passing on the Adaptive Seats because I just don't feel comfy in them and my 997 serves as my DD.
I am also passing on the PCCB. I will likely have the calipers painted Orange though!
So,....now that I've shown you mine, please show me yours (your OPINION that is).

Dave, it sounds good to me, but I'd be careful with the orange bits on the inside (the painted ones). Those combined with all that stitching can get a little out of hand. Other than that, I'll buy it when you get your new one! I'm officially calling first dibs...

I'm definitely worried about being too Orangey on the interior bits. I wonder if I should do just deviated stitching or just orange trim.
Some of my interior would resemble this one minus the alcantara:

The spec is good, some things I would do different:
std. taillights instead of all-red, all-red might blend in a bit much with the orange paint.
I would also skip the multi-function wheel, it only allows you volume control and I believe to pick-up and hang-up the phone, not to mention it's kind of ugly compared to the standard rounded off wheel center.
Overall I like the spec, sounds unique and fun.

I know people just seem to love them,...maybe I should try them out again. When I spec'd my first car, I opted against them because I couldn't get comfy in them mainly around my shoulders. I should pop by the dealer again and see if my ASS fits the A.S.S..
