Don't you have it the other way around? Nice weather = coupe? I don't think so....

I'm a little biased but I say keep the cab. You can hardly hear the exhaust or engine in a coupe. What fun would that be? The cab makes sounds that only the coupe could dream of. Imagine what life would be like without that just downshifted off throttle gurgle.

the cobalt is sick!! my first choice too, but a 3k option.

but man, if you're gonna trade up might as well wait for the color you REALLY want. Wait and get the cobalt in the aero kit, be patient - - then there's no regrets!

good luck!!

How much are they giving you for the cab? what options are on it? I might be interested in trading mine and taking yours......

I would keep the cab and install the aero kit. You first have to start with the exterior color. If you are not crazy about a color - DO NOT GET the car, everytime you see the color you wanted, it will remind you and you will be chasing your tail on what to do next.

YES trade it! i love the lines of the coupe. the roof line on the cab is "off". if the difference is only 3K then really that's just the price of the aerokit.

i may be in the minority here but i like the aerokit. has nice wheels too.

If you want aerokit, wheels, or exhaust, you can have all of that on a cab. The 997 aerokit is not very impressive to me. I think when the 997 GT3 comes out, Porsche will get the aerokit right.

It's an S 6 speed with PCM, PSE, Full leather, the 19s as you can see and some other miner options 103 msrp , they are offering me 90. But I think I am gonna wait and find a Cobalt.

I would stay with the cab, but I am biased. I do love the lines of the coupe, but the wind and the open feeling of the cab can't be beat imo.

The aerokit will scrape a lot more. It looks like the coupe has big reds, vs. black calipers. Black is harder to take care of, but it is beautiful. Cabs are nice for our OC weather.

It's what you want.

I agree. The black calipers are the clue.
