I'm not sure which aluminum package you are refering too, but you should also get the package that includes alu dials, sills and X54 tips. Get the alu shifter and handbrake too. I have the full electric sport seats and they are nice too.

I think Porsche now allows you to get the front grills, lower front bumper and side skirts painted the body color. You should order this too.

Depending on where you live. Heated seats feel great with the top down on a chilly evening.

On a Cab you should always order heated seats. Even if you will never use them yourself.

Your resale market is the entire country and in most areas people don't even look at a $130k+ toy unless their a$$ will be warm.

Midnight Blue looks great with Natural Brown Leather/Black Carpeting; Consider this combination.

I too like the idea of MB with NBL but with Metropol blue carpets and a blue roof. I would order the rears of the sport seats, rear center console, and PCM in MB. Also, I would get the large leather package and steering column leather so that all the black plastic is NBL leather. That would be one sweet cab!

Anybody seen any pictures of this option? I'd love to see what guards red or speed yellow looks like with these...I don't recall it as an option when I ordered mine (May delivery).


As for the original poster: I think you've picked out a real nice car. My option list is just as short.

thanks everyone for input

this is what i ended up ordering:

midnight blue/black/black roof

black mats
cd changer
no hard top
heated seats
sport seats
porsche crest in head rest
large alluminum package
aluminum steering wheel
aluminum shifter/brake handle
center console in midnight blue
back of sport seats in midnight blue

thats everything at an msrp of 137 K

should i order the electric sport seats, or should i leave them the way they are. the electric is 1200 more. is it needed?

i also want navigation. is it included on the '04 turbo's?

other than that i dont know what else to get on the car.

Sorry about the late reply, but if you leave the top down a lot, as do I, black seats will really fry your butt. Went with natural brown and don't have this problem.

I have black interior and have had my car in Miami all winter and actually have found the opposite to be true!
