Welcome! Nice car. Love the black PCM (your other pics of the interior in other thread). Did you order it that way or was that something that was added afterward?

They all come standard graphite gray (plastic texture), unless ordered as an exclusive option. Yours looks very cool. Enjoy.

Rookie:

I would not do a thing beyond clear side markers and clear bra. Your vehicle is outstanding, especially the Sport Design wheels. I have those on my 2006 black/black C2S. IMHO they are the best looking wheels - stock or not - on a 997. Only drawback is they are hard to keep clean.

In my view, too many of the "mods" we see here detract from the pure lines of the 997, especially 20" wheels in black. Porsche engineering and design are next to perfect as is, plus you won't hurt your resale value.

What a great car. Looks fantastic. I love your choice of tiptronic with power pack.

I was wondering what the 0 to 60 time is for a auto C4S with the power pack?

I think it's just about the perfect car.

Excellent choice of car...enjoy her in good health (and don't forget the wife either - I assume the honeymoon was for newlyweds)
