And another one!

so, my dad saw a 2004 996TT cab this week, and he absolutely loves Porsche cabs. as most of you know, he bought a 996TT about 3 months ago. so today, my dad and i went, traded in the turbo coupe and bought the turbo cab. its slate grey metallic, with a grey top and graphite grey interior. it has xenons, nav, heated seats, full leather, supple leather, porsche head crests, center console in exterior color, front grills in exterior color, middle and side vents in exterior color, and instrument gauges in exterior color. it also has the x54 stainless steel exhaust tips, 6 CD changer, wind deflector, its a 6MT, XM sat radio, and the thicker leather steering wheel. heres a couple pics.

now that is a beautiful cab! not sold on the top color but that won't matter as it'll be down most of the time right!?!?

i'd definitely swap out the steering wheel, shifter & ebrake for CF porsche OEM and maybe +/- silver trim gauge rings.

like the gauge faces in body color - never seen that before

Nice. Now get into my office and get painted bumperettes to finish it off!


Lizard...gauge faces are in interior color, not body color.

ooohhh thicker steering wheel - that is nice. i test drove a C4S with one and liked it. about the suggestions - i was just trying to think of something to break up the monotone gray color but to each their own. i had the same interior on my first porsche so i mixed it up with some CF bits

I think the grey interior needs to be borken up as well. But a beautiful car...

I remember when I was in college - my dad bought his first really nice car - a 1986 944 Turbo in pearl white (1 of 100). I was so freakin' excited. I think he put a measly 2500 miles on it over the next 2 years... he's a depression era "saver" - I can't say the same for myself as my list of cars can attest to.
