Looks awesome...save for the painted grill slats in the front bumper. My car has most of those leather parts...it would be interesting to see how much sticker was on my car orginally...wonder if info is possible to get now?

I'd opt for a CF shifter and handbrake.

Where are the leather pedals?

Color is freaky...

Benjamin Choi is infamous around these parts

I agree about leaving the front grill area unpainted. Otherwise, I love the color. You can do better on the wheels and it needs to be slammed.

I like it, but if you bought that baby for list, the only way you could suffer more one-day depreciation would be to buy a Maser at list!

Options add up fast - I had 160K without sport electric seats (1200 per side option), alu look PCM kit (2400 option), center console with turbo embossed (800) and PCCBs (8000)

I was going to say, MSindi's car was THE highest priced 996 Turbo I had ever seen. If he had ordered paint to sample and the electric sport seats, it probably would have been higher than this car!

Mansour goes all out when ordering cars!

That car has been there for a LONG time. They have a few crazy turbos in inventory like that with tons of custom options and a crazy price to go with it. They aren't going anywhere....

I like the color, pccbs, and wheels. Other than that, I'm not diggin' the interior or all the other options. For a buck 70 I'm going down the street to look at the Gallardo!
