Did you benefit from the price rise, fall or both?

I benefit from the rise. Bought in march at 34.65 (kept faith and followed my intuition) and sold last friday at 153.00 (+341.5% or in other words: a free 991 and 981 ) I bought AAPL last friday for 454.45 and that's still rising now my feeling says, it goes up to around 500.00-525.00

 

Off-topic: Icahn says bigger buybacks can drive Apple shares to $700. Last time it went up that high I wanted to sell and didn't so I rode it all the way up for $400 and all the way back down. This time I'm selling high.

On-topic: Suzy, how did you configure to get two-tone red/black and showing contrast stitching? When I do it on the C2S, there isn't that option. Did you accomplish that by configuring a Turbo since the two-tone red/black is available on the Turbo and then save that screen shot?

Correction: Just checked and there is no option in the US configurator for red/black interior. Is this something offered only in certain markets?

 

Off-topic: Yes I read that indeed... So I'm holding on to AAPL now. $700 would be very nice!! I'm gaining 386% on my investment since march right now, so I'm a happy girl hahaha

On-topic: Yes I saved screenshots from the Turbo S and layerd that on top of a screenshot of a C4S and erased the parts that showed it was a Turbo S . That was pretty easy to do. The Boxster was a whole different story... There I did the whole eraising and stitching by hand with a Wacom pentablet. But it's fun to do still learning Photoshop. We also use it on a professional base, to make impressions of the appartments we rent, so it works two ways for me to learn how t use Photoshop properly

 

Impressive! Probably due to your left-handed/right-brain creativity that we share with Leonardo, Michelangelo, & Van Gogh. :-)

 

LOL! Can't think of another reason!

 

Something I forgot to mention:


If someone is going for a two-tone leather to sample interior, be aware of what base color you choose.
I chose a black interior and added red parts to it. If you do it the other way around, you'll end up with a black leather covered dashboard with red plasic bits on it.

That was for me the main reason to go to Zuffenhausen and discuss that with the Exclusive department over there.

It's not that I don't trust my salesman, but their knowledge and options in the configurator are limited. Actually, He adviced me to do it that way, because I wanted to be 100% sure that I get what I have in mind.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about the glare. I never noticed it in my car (carrera red interior) until I read this thread, then I saw it. But when my car was in for service today they gave me a Boxster S with a black dash and it was just as noticeable in that car if you are looking for it. You just need to look through it instead of at it, like you would with a chain link fence behind home plate at a baseball game.

 

Since I'm the one who started this thread, in just 17 days I'll find out for myself and advise what I find in the bright South Florida sun.

 

Florida driver here....with a beige dash. While you do wear sunglasses a lot while driving here, both my wife and I are not bothered by the glare. We think that reducing the thermal load on the interior in the Florida summer is quite important and a beige interior helps. We also have Air Blue tint on our windshield.

 

I think Porsche should of hire professionals at the Exlusive area who could offer all the possibilities, maybe hiring external interior design firms, get them capaciteted and charge a fee for the Design.

 

Consider, if it is not too late, black inserts on the seats. I have it and it looks great. I do wish I had a black dash, but I love the inserts in the door and seats in my car.

 

Hi,
I have considered black inserts, but went for the full red seats. I just like that more
The only thing I'm still considering is black stitching on the red parts of the interior. But I still have untill december to decide, so plenty if time.
I may even end u with a different exterior color, but haven't find anything I like more than Rhodium, except for Basalt black, which I have now on my Boxster. But it's a pain in the ... to keep clean (I hate washing cars... I prefer to drive them), so Rhodium is propably the best choice for me

 

Suzy,
Are You using CF 2x2 or 1x1?
I was hesitating in that, I think 2x2 look mor sporty, but on the other hand don't want the car to look pretty much aftermarket. But I think just a little detail like this will look great. What is your opinion?

 

I don't know to be honest. I saw some pictures on the OCarbon.com website. Haven't informed or anything yet. It looked pretty cool and thought it might look good on my interior. I'll see when my car arrives in march if I do these upgrades or not.

These are the pictures I was talking about:
