Damm, photo #3 came out too blue. Photo #1 is in NEF raw format transfered back to JPEG. The others were shot in jpeg format. Here are some interior photos. The photo right above me is with Hoen H-3' s in the foglights and Hoen parking lights (matches the xenon's better than stock). These are still a tad yellow because I just switched them on and shot away. If I waited a few minutes they would have been more white.

Photo #4 is for Jason, he wanted to see what the fuse box trim in leather looks like. My interior is black and some of the photos have too much blue but i am working on it. Anyhow thats it for tonight. Ciao.

triptoo is an unknown quantity at this point
The first pic of the steering wheel makes it look extra fat, is that the same thicker steering wheel as on older 997tt or did Porsche update it?

D200 I see... Nikons have AWB issues with flash or low light shots and my D2X does the same thing. It's easily corrected during post processing but it's lame considering I never have white balance issues with my Canon gear. Anyways..... the car looks great! I thought full leather was nice but you have FULL leather. Sporty but classy!

Its the same one, I just used a Tokina wide angle lens for this photo. They did not change anything and the thicker sport steering wheel (XPA) is the option you see. Looks pretty thick photographed this way. Its plenty thick for me (my 997S felt like a pencil in comparison with the stock sport set-up).

Your right. I stuck with Nikon (have a D100 thats about 5 years old) because I already have an assortment of Nikor lenses. If not for that I was tempted to go the Cannon route myself. I am having a frustrating time with color accuracy especially when printing. The D200 is a fantastic camera but I am still learning how to use it properly. The photos were shot around 7:00pm this evening with overcast and a low light situation like you described. On some shots I used an SB-800 speedlight which helped a bit but most are without a flash.

Is the shifter/brake option DAD or ECA?

With post processing you should be able to correct anything but I have to admit, my workflow is a bit more tedious with Nikon shots. Even though I have a Pantone Color Spyder for monitor calibration and use all of the correct ICC profiles for my printer/paper, I still have a tough time color correcting some of my low light/flash Nikon shots.

MeanMachine, Mucho Problemo. I like all the lowers painted or none of them. makes the car look unbalanced. Must say I like the painted lowers myself. City living and steep driveways (including my own) make it a bad choice.

Eric the option is DAD. Its a bit pricey but a MUST , IF you go for deviated stitching (if not there is no way Porsche will do the stitching on the boot shifter like the rest of the car). They got you coming and going! I didn't get anything deviated.
