I would get the red. I would also get the center console and seatbacks in Arctic.
Furthermore - if having a raw sports car was my goal - I'd have an Exige S or GT3.
Part of the appeal of the C2S is that it has both sport and luxury (at least with the full leather
)

If you get the red stitching everywhere, you better REALLY like it, as it's in front of your eyes every second you're in your car......
Personally I like the idea of deviated red on the seats and leave the rest of your classy full leather treatment .....mono....
Full leather with deviated red looks very busy!!!
But then it's your car!!

I think your right,the front dashboard in deviated color is too much. My buddy has a F 430 with deviated stiching inside his car and it looks very busy to the eye.
The red stiching on the seats will make the seats stand out and won't bother the eyes when driving.

Nice, I bet you can't wait.
How about heated seats, I think it is a worthwhile option especially in the climate you are in, no? I've listened to the audio in cars with and without the Bose, and frankly I would personally opt for no Bose and use the savings there towards something like the PSE (definitely a better sound option
).
I've often wondered about the 5mm spacers. Do they serve any practical purpose other than fill out the wheel well further for cosmetic appeal (for example, can you use a thicker tire, say 315 width with the spacers and avoid rubbing)? I know the jury is out on them, some people feel negatively for a long list of reasons. In fact, I'll post a thread on this

I got the Bose and Heated seats for free, part of the reason to keep us Canadians customers happy and make us spend our money on Canadian grounds and not in the US.
5mm spacers not only look more appealing but also widen the track of the car,which serves in improved handling.
For the PSE I'll install it in the future,I'am hoping someone on the forum will sell me the PSE when they decide to upgrade.

Before you buy the car , test drive the Turbo . You are going this deep , one drive costs nothing but time.
If you buy the 997tt --without the "stitching" etc (things which are fancy) you are there spot on with this car .
The C4S is very nice , but adding all the dressings price it very close. Plus with the facelift coming out it faces a larger depreciation as the 997tt won't change until model year 2010. I lookled at the Canadian pricing on the configurator . I hear ya .
Lastly --many of the "options" come standard on the 997tt.

At some point I was considering the Turbo.
The total diffrence between the turbo and my C4S was $42,000.
I wish this amount was not a great big deal for me, but the truth it's alot of money especially that in two to three years I need a new winter vehicule. If I'am looking into a new SUV which is what I need with all this snow it will cost me around another $60,000. At that price it's not even a Cayenne.
So therefore I'll content myself with the C4S and keep my hunger for the turbo in the future, who knows maybe when I'am 40, it's only 8 years away!
Thanks for yor opinion yrralis,

I would get the red on the dash since you've already done it with the seats. It will tie it all together. Without it, it could come across as if the seats were added later. Make it harmonious Looks $$$ too.
Also save some money and buy H&R spacers, same quality and cheaper. I personally am not a fan of spacers (would rather wheels with different offsets) but 5mm is conservative and like I said, don't let Porsche rip you off on those.
