With the euro/italian specs it's easy since almost everything is "optional" (and of course it's not a free option).
Sunroof? Optional
Bose? Optional
Electric seats? Optional
Tyre pressure monitor? Optional
Tempostat? Optional
Nav? Optional
Phone module? Optional
CD changer? Optional

Many of the options that you list are optional in North America, except the sunroof. It is standard. In fact even the 997.1GT3 had it standard, a point the pissed off many track guys.

I agree. The GT3 with the sunroof makes me laugh a little bit.

Cool

After a while...
- new 997 colored center caps (before I had 996 colored caps)
- painted my sportdesign in black
- red tail lights
- proper waxing and detailing

Now I am trying to chase door entry guards but waiting to come to US since they are cheaper (because of xchange rates)

A lot of pics after the "upgrades":

City (hidden industrial area in Milan downtown)




Countryside (always Milan downtown... Sometimes after 40 years this city still surprises me)

She loves it.
Unfortunately she is scared driving it, or better... She is scared of what I could tell her if she damages it while driving

Well... to be honest... She was loving it much more before the black rims. Now she says that it's in between being aggressive and fast&furios style, for her taste.

Tell her I said she has excellent taste. The silver rims fit the car much better.

I hate you both

But from a certain perspective you are both right.
My ideal solution would have been simply the Carrera Sport but was impossible to find them at a decent price.
Sportdesign in silver were a pain to keep them clean.
