Wow, congrats on the new car. I also have a Carrara white C2S on order. I was considering getting the sea blue interior until they showed me a white Boxster with it and I didn't care for it: it looked like dark blue ink. I'm thinking maybe it was just the lighting conditions because we were in a large room with all fuorescent lights.
Please post pics of you interior, I'd really like to see how it looks.

Enjoy you new car!

thank you very much.. when i saw the sea blue in a convertible i felt the same way, it seemed like a lot of open air.. and too much blue.. in the coupe it looks awesome.. will post the pics this weekend.. hey congrats on the C2S, i fell in love with white.. and i am sure you will love it, it looks really classy with a light smoke tint..

are you thinking about doing any modifications?

Not sure. I tried to get the dealer to throw in the X-51 power pkg but they wouldn't go for it . From what I've read here, it seems like, short of getting a s/c, the best you can do is get an exhaust, intake, plenum and maybe a flash to boost performance but don't expect to much. I felt like the car was pretty fast in stock form anyway, but eventually I'm sure the mod bug will start to bite.

Looking forward to you pics.
