I ordered my tt several months ago and tried to figure out what parts were in the carbon packages. I ordered:
803 Carbon Package--I think this is primarly the shifter and brake handle.
EAD Carbon Package Switch Panel--Obviously this is around the switches and air ducts, does it also include up by the windshild?
XMJ Rear Center Console--I think this is just the Center Console piece

First time I have ordered Tip, I have always had manual transmission, not sure I am going to like that. If I don't then I figured I would order a manual and sell the tip. Have any of you driven both the tip and the manual and can offer an opinion?

 

According to my dealer (Chambers in Boston):
803 has the hand brake lever, gear shift lever and the 3 pieces of trim strip in carbon fiber
EAD has the air condition vents, including the one behind the wind shield, I believe the slats of the vents will be covered in leather so will the one close to the windsheild
you're correct about the center console piece

 

If you guys missed out or forgot to get any CF parts let me know... I have all of the MA-Carbon stuff here as well...

 

I'm not ordering any carbon parts from factory, so I'll probably give you a call to get just the gear shift lever and hand brake lever later on. Thanks.

 

Don't miss this option, since you are ordering the Carbon Switch Panel-EAD you might as well get this one !

 

The one I test drove had the whole carbon package over puke savannah beige, just looked ricey, nowhere near as good as the 996 cf version.

 

is it just me or does the CF parts on the 997 look like they're overlays and don't integrate with the 997 interior as well as the 996 peices did? I know they're not overlays, they just don't seem to integrate as well.

 

they are just as nice as the 996 Carbon. The only complaint I have is the fact that there is a mean glare on the 997TT windshield being thrown off from the carbon strip that rund on top of the dash just below the windshield. Other than that I pretty much have every interior carbon there is avalible on the 997TT and its incredible. It is fitted just as good or even better IMO that the 996TT.

 

Monsoonmadness,

Just got my Slate/Black car today, seeing for the first time as it was just trucked in (been waiting almost 3 weeks for it!).

I did the same on the CF, I got all the packages. It does look incredible, I thought it would be overdone, but it is actually very clean and understated.

The Carbon Wheel Multifunction is beautiful as are the door finishers...just awesome. I'll post detailed photos late Saturday when the detailing is completed.

K-E-V, I love the Designo Mocha on your E55, I got the same special paint job on my SLK55

 

Love your SLK too. Saw one in person in the dealership. It also has the designo black / sand two-tone interior, which looks much nicer than my all designo sand seats.

However, I'll probably be moving to a C2S Tip soon and wait for the arrival of the turbo coupe.

 

Congrats on the Carrera S in advance, Mine has the AMG/Red black seats which contrats the elegant paint hue with a Sporty interior plus it has the Designo Curly Maple anthratice Wood Veneer

The Turbo Coupe would be great, If I were you I would modify the E55 AMG, It has lots of potential, Why dont you do the Kleeman K2

 

I was planning to do a KLEEMANN K2 with Quaife LSD upgrade, but now that I'm getting the C2S, I just killed the idea. The E55 is a little too big for my taste and I really don't need the back seat, so I'm saving the mod money up for the C2S or the turbo. Having back seats here in Boston really sucks coz the medical school that I attend actually asked me to drive my classmates to off campus location to attend clinics. I don't think they can pack in the back seat of the C2S or the turbo.

 

Yeah, They are probably doing this to decrease congestion and providing more parking spaces for the University etc, Any way your E55 is stunning in Designo Mocha and it was Some Designo Mocha Pictures I was drooling of before I Get My Designo Mocha SLK55

 

cf yummy....
