Im in the market for a 2001 turbo and wondered what the most desirable, and undesirable options are. Is supple leather less durable? It always looks a bit stretched out in pics. What about the different carbon fiber packages, what is included? Also does anyone know what build dates did away with the bumperettes? Anything else I should look for? thx

 

I like the leather dash and CF interior.

I like carbon fiber everywhere, sport seats, and deviated stitching. You can pretty much keep the rest of the stuff for all I care. lol

 

You should ask yourself what things you might want to do, i.e. wheels, wing, interior, engine, etc. and find a car closest to that b/c you will save alot of $. Otherwise, most options don't add much $ in the retail market despite what dealers will have you think. It works out to pennies on the dollar so grab as many as you can.

 

Get it with as little as possible. You can ...and will add any mods and bling on your own.

 

Supple looks so worn after a short amount of time.

 

Jasclass is right, had supple on my last two 996 and hated how it looked after a while.

 

If you can get the Pam Anderson passenger option it's worth it
