Placing an order ... any comments appreciated.

Hi folks,

Long time lurker and finally about to place an order.

Also, trying to decide on an 07 or 08 -- any thoughts?

Thanks, very much appreciated.

BTW I am a big fan of the sea blue interior it is very sharp. I would think about adding the following options:

1) Center console in artic silver (or have bumperplugs do it)
2) silver seat belts (or get them from suncoast later and install)
3) Heated seats if you it gets cold where you are (please fill in state and country into your profile)
4) painted center caps (or get them from Ralph Boothe - boothedesign.com)

But none of those are an absolute must, just trying to add a few things to spice it up...

Easy for me to spend your money, but have you considered GT Silver? I think with the blue it would be so nice. Lastly, I would see if they can either do the rear badge in black or delete it -- silver on silver is kind of a waste....the car sounds like a beaut, though, enjoy!

I agree that it all looks outstanding with the exception of the transmission choice, but to each his own.

You must post pictures!!! I have never seen the color scheme that you are talking about and I am dying to see the blue interior with the artic silver exterior. I think that is going to be a sharp combination.

Hi,
I got a deal for the 08 production. But, I decide to hold off on it. I think there might be some small changes. Base on what the dealer told me. Before the plant shuts down for a month of vacation. They will produce about 300 units of CS for 08 production year. If you have to order the car. If your dealer can not change one of their allocation. You most likely is going to get an 08.

You car options are everything that I want it. Except I will not get the PASM. I don't know if I really need it. I will not bring it to track and not a crazy driver. By the way, what kind of deal did you get?

Thanks,
pecon

Seems like a pretty nice spec! Now my .02.....

The sport designs are nice looking.....but a horror to clean properly......you might want to think about the carrera classics, carrera S, etc.

Does Porsche have a sport steering wheel for a Tiptronic?.....if so, get it.

As K-Man S said, get the silver belts and maybe some interior pieces painted exterior color......it would look so cool in a Sea Blue interior.

How about full leather?......really upscales the interior.....

Great spec. As for Pecon's comment on PASM, you do not need to bring it to the track or be a crazy driver to benefit from it. It makes my daily commute nicer (this only my opinion, which is generally shared by those who have PASM and generally dismissed by those who don't!-see other threads on PASM for more discussion than you could ever want).
