I finally found the car I've been searching for... (3 pictures)

Last week, after months and months of searching, I finally found the 996 I've been looking for. It is on the transport and should be delivered in one week. This is going to be the longest week of my life!

Here are some pictures and a list of the options...

Longhorn911

PS - sorry for the crossposting to Rennlist, but I've been waiting a long time for this car and I can't help but post a few pictures... ;-)

Looks good, but I don't see the aerokit which includes sideskirts (only see the aerokit rear spoiler). Am I missing something?

kunal,

The side skirts haven't yet been installed. They're going on in a couple of weeks after the car arrives here in Texas. I'll post some before/afters once they are on...

hey thats my car. mines just like it with out the tail. same tips,painted counsel, shifter,except i've got the painted sport seats.congratulations. i accually went to the local dealer to look at a black cab but they had mine in the show room and i just couldn't stop staring at it. i kept saying what a beautiful car. funny story, they asked me if i wanted to take it for a ride i said sure. so they pulled it out of the showroom pulled out of the the lot i wasn't in the car 2 min and a stone hit the winshield and broke it. wasn't even going 50 mph no one in front of me. they freaked but i said i have to buy it now it's a sign. only have 1200 miles on it. every time the garage door goes up i still can't get over what a beautiful car it is. i have a 2002 boxster s that i love but the carrera is one hell of a car.

That car looks great; the center console is so bright it almost looks photoshop'd....

Congratulations.
