Sounds great! Might I suggest remote CD, metal door sills and supple leather; about $1500 but IMO worth it.

Sweet!

Are they offering a Sport Exhaust option yet? I also like my white gauge faces but that is definitely a matter of personal preference.

Congrats in advance on the S! Speaking of white dials, is it easily possible to have them installed in a 997 (non S) aftermarket?

FULL CARBON FIBER PACKAGE .... i hated carbon fiber and thought it was terrible ... after seeing a couple of cars here and seeing it in person I regret everyday not getting it ... but i guess it's personal taste ...

Congrats,

You've done well. However, I prefer the lobsters.

Thanks every one. The wait is killing me already, can some one post some pics of slate grey.

Tal, they are not offering sport exhaust yet.

Joe, I will definitely come to socal meet when I have my 997.

Might I suggest getting the least expensive wheel option because you will be changing them out.
