Comment on These Options?

Well, I'm about 70% on the TT purchase (almost grabbed a used Z06 but passed). I kinda go back and forth on it, so we shall see. Right now I'm focused on a Black 997TT with black interior that is not claimed and due in town next Sunday. Here are the options:

CDJ - Gear Lever Trim Exterior Color
CMH - Door Finishers Painted Black
CMG - Switch Panel Pkg.Painted Black
CXB - Door Entry Grds Stl Steel Illu
342 - Heated Front Seats
220 - Axle-Differential Lock Rear
XXZ - Foot Rest Aluminum
XMZ - Rear Center Console - Leather
P01 - Adaptive Sport Seats
CMF - PCM Package Painted Black
CMP - Instrument Surround Pntd.Black
CMM - Trim Strip Painted Black
810 - Floor Mats - Interior Color
640 - Sport Chrono Package Turbo
459 - Leather Steering Wheel
CPA - Thicker Leather Steering Wheel

Anyone have any comments or pics of these options? Probably a little more options than I want, but oh well. Feedback much appreciated and thanks in advance.

So you're going to pull the trigger on a 997TT? Nice choice. I guarantee if you went with a Z06, you would've wanted to sell it in a few months. I know you man!

Since it was an ordered car by dealer or customer who backed out, perhaps there is some wiggle room on price on some of those more pricy options.

Just a thought.

That choice of steering wheel is not the greatest. It seems you are getting the thicker triangular hub steering wheel, WITHOUT the multi function?

The only reason to change to the triangular style wheel, other than cosmetic reason, would be to get the multi-function operation.

This car's steering wheel lacks multi-function, lacks thumb rests, and is bigger than the stock sports wheel; none of these is desireable IMHO.

Looks nicely optioned to me, but If I were getting a turbo I would probably go nuts and get FULL leather, yellow belts andyellow stitching or white stitching and belts! Goodluck man, 997TT's are awesome!

Don't forget this!

CDZ Gear Lever Trim Leather


Another view


And another option highly recommended would be:
CUV Storage Cmpt Lid W/Model Logo


These two options would go very well with the leather rear center console that you've got on your list already.

Atomic is on top of it man, brings up this option that almost always is overlooked. Ties everything in on the stickshift/PCM console. All of this though, if I understand correctly means nothing if this particular car is inbound. For what its worth all the biggies are there (leather center console being one of them). It looks real good and is probably as close to exactly what you want as it will get. The steering option is the pricey one with the rectangle center? At least its the thicker leather option. These cars are always best made to order but if you can't wait this car is optioned nicely! If you want the "turbo" logo on the top of the center console and CDZ you can use my Vin to order it (I have both w/black interior). Be prepared to pay more and the wait is usually long but its do-able. Another member ordered the center console turbo logo using my vin#.The CMF (PCM in Black) is very pricey but I think it looks killer with your blacked out vents, etc! Should be blacked out to the bone!
