If only carmine red were that red. Bring back Guards Red!
For what it's worth, and no insult intended to any red lovers, red just never struck me as a true Porsche. Teutonic designs often look the best in harder colors. Silvers, blacks, hard blues and greens and oranges. Alas, the Italians kinda own red. I know, but this isn't flame bait. I just think that Porsche has always offered a both understated and shock approach. More clinical than passionate (even though the latter abounds). Candidly, it's why the basic shape of the 911 from any year since inception looks amazing but Ferraris are essentially unrecognizable from their ancestors.

(I'm ducking now so as to avoid any tomato projectiles).

At one time I lived in Stuttgart on work assignment, and the word I heard most frequently on the street was "genau" (precisely or exactly), hence my username. Since then, I've spent a few vacations with Italians celebrating "la dolce vita" (the good life). It is fascinating how language expresses the personalities and thought processes of a people. Opera provides perhaps the starkest comparison between these cultures. Regarding cars, while I'm entertained by a sports car that sings with Italian emotion, I prefer the German intolerance for non-value added drama. That said, Cherry Metallic is ausgezeichnet!

I'll add the rear axle steering and go with Dolomite Silver instead of Ice Grey. I also removed the Taycan sign at the rear, it looks a bit cleaner without it (in my humble opinion).
Smart!

Re. the 21" wheels, I'd definitely prefer to go with something a bit smaller, but I really want black wheels so I guess I don't have a ton of options...
Well, you could simply spec the base wheels and sell them on ebay.

Then buy wheels like this:
