+1, Here's Seal Gray with black wheels and HRE's

I have Seal Gray and I love it, but after seeing Tom's car, I would not hesitate to get a yellow turbo, and I'd get a raw carbon trunklid, rear decklid and wing as well. Along with matte black wheels. Simple awesome color combo.

So, if I get SG, then you have your old parts waiting for me?

Got some stuff for ya here bro! Can't wait to see what ride you decide on. You have great taste so just use your intuition and you for sure will pick the right one.
Any idea on mods yet?

Ha - thanks Alan. Well, ideally I'd want someone else to have bought the mods already and then I'll buy them on the car at the depreciated price However, I am also trying to keep my entry costs low. So, we'll see how that balances out. From what I've been looking at, here's what I like thus far:

Yellow/Gray/White exterior - Black interior
Interior:
- White gauges
- CF steering wheel/shifter/ebrake
- Silver bezel around shifter
- Sport seats with backs exterior color matched or black. Otherwise, non-supple seats.
- Black seat belts
- Up in the air on stereo as I'm normally fine with just the radio, however the non-Nav is so boring looking - I'd prefer the nav just for the updated radio look. More comments here but I'll stop at that.
Performance:
- K24/X50 + software
- PSS9s (superseded with PSS10s?)
- Mild Exhaust (or maybe just stock X50?)
- Silver Wheels, (simple style, easy to clean) (I may just stay stock as a place to cut costs)
Exterior:
GT2-sytle wing (something on the smaller side)
Clear Bra

Warranty a plus
I also like the look of the rear valence painted (showing off the bottom vent), but not sure how that would wear.

That about sums it up Now give me that with <40k miles and $50k

Oh, and one other option for interiors which I have only seen in this one 996TT:



I can't quite place it, but I feel like I've seen it somewhere else before I'm not sure that I'd get it again - that might just be TOO similar

Speed Yellow is a flashy color as compared to the other colors and it is also a cop magnet color as well.. but on the other hand I think it really stands out the 996TT very much.
