Opinions on my 997 vert

Hello Gentleman, I've ordered a 09 cab s, but I wanted my interior to be a touch different, so I opted for a red full leather interior with blk deviated stitching on the dash, seats, doors and back seats. I also opted for a carbon steering wheel, shifting ***, hand break, and cup holder trim, all on a black exterior. I have never seen any pictures of a car optioned like this so I'm not sure how it will turn out. I would love to hear what you guys think.

Thanks in advance

Matthew

just color challenged

the exterior is black with black top. I'm also going to powder coat the wheels black. I really wanted a car that looked special, some might think it's short bus special but I wanted it to pop. It's going to be a leased car so I'm not really worried about the eventual resale of the car. The one thing I did not like about the 911 was its interior which I found a bit bland in black or grey so I decided to spice it up a bit.

Hey Matt. I have a great hook at Suncoast if you haven't locked in a deal yet. I guarantee I can get you a better deal than what you may be looking at in Tampa or St. Pete. Hit me with a pm.

I'm buying in Tampa

The car is actually really basic without a ton of options.

Blue tooth
6 speed short shifter
upgraded bose system
the crazy interior
road adjusting lights

deleted the chrono package as I don't like the way it looks

So it's a pretty basic car. I skipped a ton of options and really just chose the one's I thought I would use. I plan on using the car as my daily driver and this is the reason I decided to go with a Cab. If Clearwater you can drove with the top down all year long. I would love to go to the track with my car but honestly don't think I could go enough to chose a couple over the Cab for its extra track abilities.

I'm actually pretty happy with the deal I'm getting. I'm friendly with the GM at my dealership and he is discounting the car a touch more than ten percent. i think there is only 13 percent in the cars. Of course I could be wrong, but i think I read that on this site. I'm ok with the dealer making some money on me as we all need to make a living.

So far it's a nice combo but having black exterior, well it's nice if the interior will be lighter.

sounds like a nice TT. There are lot you can do with the int. after. But deleted chrono package, does it means no over boost? not sure with 09, but with pre-face lift TT. Sport chrono is a MUST.
