Oh, thanks for the pics Jason. After seeing that, I'm definitely glad I didn't get the grill painted as well.

Congratulations. Cobalt is my favorite color but, just as this is your last "fling" with an in your face color, my wife says, at 56 and living in a small Western Pennsylvania town, I should stick to more subtle colors. Therefore it's GT Silver for me with some "bling" inside. I also did painted front & rear spoilers along with rocker panels but did not do the front grills. Just thought it would be too much. Just my opinion!

My current C2S is GT silver...IMHO, the best of the silvers. Classic.

I am now starting to doubt the DAJ option a bit...maybe I'll change it...

I'll just use my Bluetooth headset with my Verizon phone. Why oh why doesn't Porsche have a Bluetooth solution? Even Aston Martin has Bluetooth...Grrrr....
I was thinking more from the perspective of the relative ease of changing channels if you later added satellite radio.

Congrats! Beautiful car. A few more leather tid bits goes a long way. Consider leather door finishers and leather trunk release option? You know how much i love leather. Listen to Jason CDZ is a tiny option but it goes a long way tieing the center console with the shifter. Here are 2 photos showing the recommended leather options:














Hey Ashokn225, I hear rumors that LZ might do a reunion soon? Wonder if John Bonhams son (Jason) will fill in for his father?

Well...thanks to everyone's suggestions, I'm decided to change the look a bit...I thought the painted interior would be too much and I wanted a "sportier" interior...thus carbon!

I will delete DAJ and replace with:

CNE-spoiler lip painted
CNG-lower rear apron painted

Deleted painted center console and door finishers and replaced with:

803-carbon package
XMJ-Rear center console carbon

Thanks Atomic for the pics of CDZ and, therefore, added CDZ.

Thanks for the help everyone!

Don't forget the side rocker panels painted. The car will look odd with just the front & rear painted but not the side.

Well...phhbbbtttt. It turns out that PCNA accelerated my order and sent it to the factory for a 7/29 production date. The good news: I'll get the TT by late August, early Sept. The bad news: after mentally masturbating over options for the weekend, I can't change my initial order. The dealer is offering to change out the carbon pieces that I wanted to change to, but I figure I'll see how it looks with the painted interior parts before asking the dealer to swap them out.

Anyways...I have some 2008 option prices if anyone is interested:

Base price 2008 TT 126,200

Nat grey interior (05) 1510
Adaptive seats (P01) 1145
Standard rocker painted (XAJ) 750
Heated front seats (342) 500
Sport chrono (640) 1920
Floor mats (810) 140
Porsche crest in headrest (XSC) 270
Axle-diff lock (220) 950
Parking assist (635) 530
Headlight cleaner ext color (CGA) 200
Sport shifter (XCZ) 765
Lth sun visors (XMP) 560
Thicker steering wheel (XPA) 310
Rear center console painted (XME) 730
Storage lid with logo (CUV) 295
Door finishers in ext color (CDH) 830
Exterior package painted (DAJ) 1985

Destination charge 860
