Help needed...997TT Cab order...opinions

OK, I decided to sell my F360 and buy the 997TT Cab...I have an October 07 build date. Here is what I currently have ordered:

Meteor Grey/ black convert top
Natural brown int.
Floor mats natural brown
Sport Chrono Pckg
6 disc cd changer
Axle-differential lock rear
Metal door sill
Multi function steering wheel
Steering column in leather
Porsche Crest in headrest
Rear center console painted ext. color

Any thoughts? The dealer said I do not have much time to make any changes.

Which steering wheel? Which shifter/handbrake? These are things you touch every minute of the driving experience (well, hopefully not the brake!).

What about Adaptive Sport Seats full leather?

I would not get the multifunction wheel. Instead I would opt for the thicker steering wheel option. In my opinion the multifunction wheel is too thin and all I do is change the radio volume with it (half the time I forget and use the **** on the radio.) Just my 2 cents.

OR you can get the thicker multi-function steering wheel (CPA I think it is) 2 Things that bug the hell out of me and I wish they were leather in my car is the door finisher as well as the defroster trim. Looks SO much more finished especially with the natural leather. Sport shifter is always nice.

Definitely look at this thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ad.php?t=95746

I would add:

1. Adaptive sport seats
2. Heated seats (especially living in NJ)
3. Short shifter

I would consider with all your leather options:

1. leather sun visors
2. Option CDZ (see above thread)
3. Option XZD dome light cover in leather

I would consider deleting

1. CD changer (get the denison unit from Eric @ Bumperplugs)
2. Multifunction wheel (terrible design...I had it with my C2S) Get the thicker wheel (XPA)

I dont like the look or feel of the multifunction steering wheel....way to big and goofy looking

first off ask yourself if you will keep it forever or plan to sell it one day. If you plan to sell it dont get ceramics you will never re sell a cab with ceramics you will loose every penny.

Mine is atlas on black auto heated seats.

make sure you get heated seats in a cab its a must and will help you sell it if you dont plan to sell.... option that baby out like crazy

Eric, I went with the leather brake and the multifunction steering wheel...I just didn't like the feel of the sport seats...
