Clear side markers are again a DOT thing and not PORSCHE's fault...Euro cars do come with clear side markers (otherwise we wouldnt have the parts

)

1) Litronics / Xenon's

4) Euro M030
5) GT3 Seat option
6) Red Calipers
7) Colored Wheel Crest - Maybe
8) Short Shifter
9) Onboard Computer
10) Bose - Maybe

I believe 2,3,4,6,9 are standard on the C4S. That, and the beautiful **** are why I got one... The only options on my car (off the lot) are Xenons, heated seats and auto-dimming mirror/rain sensor.

So, the pedal's are okay then ?

Well for me, some decent pedals is a must, even my last Merc had alloys pedals.

Yeah ! I agree. For the price of TT, aero kit should be included.
Anything with Porsche logo should be included, embossed logo on seats, color-crest center caps, etc. After all it's their company logo.
I guess we should count our blessings that Porsche does not charge us ( extra, that is) for the logo on the hood or the turbo, carrera or GT3 emblem on the rear.
I wonder if they charge extra for sales people to have color crest
logo on their business cards. I assume black and white logo is a standard item.
