That is a pretty awesome interior, congrats. What did dealer say about the MFD? Can it be changed?

Car looks great. I see you went for a lot of leather. I have espresso leather coming in my GTS. Please share impressions once you get to drive it.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

I went to visit my car again this morning and took a couple more pics. I'm going to let it go right into storage without even turning over the engine. I figured I'd rather do the whole new car experience at once - put the top down, hear the engine, drive on some twisties. So I said goodbye for probably two and half months.

I'm thinking two things after seeing the car today. The lowered PASM Sport stance really makes a difference. Funny to think the 20-inchers look a bit small without it. I'll be following how Larry does with his investigations. Also, I think it's generational and I think the exterior color matters, but I don't think that the satin black wheels work for me with DBM. I think they'll be fine with Sapphire, Carmine, GT Silver, etc. Anyway, my dealer is considering swapping out the regular silver/black Turbo S wheels for me. We'll see what happens, but they've been incredible to work with so far.

So the PCM has the correct logo (see pic below). We checked out a GTS2 and a GTS4 coupe that the dealer had in stock. Both of them had the correct GTS logo in the MFD. So it's either just my car or just Cabs. They're investigating this week.

Ya, I really like the more sinister exterior look and the more luxury interior look. It works for me. After three 911s with (full) black interiors, I have to say that the natural leather interior is a big, big improvement in quality. Good leather makes a huge difference to my eye. I realize that some people don't "see" it, and for them, the additional price is crazy. But for me, every cent is well spent.

Ha! I think of them as a bit boy racer, but they put a smile on my face every time I open the door.

I'm not sure that the quality will come through, but see the pics below.

It goes to the dealer's warehouse this week. Top up, car cover on, battery conditioner, etc.

Congrats, car looks awesome. DBM was my first choice for many weeks. What is your interior colour combo? Is that cognac?

My 50th always shows 911_50. I'm sure this is something easily fixed. What a beaut!

Nice car, congrats.
I'm surprised espresso/cognac works well on DBM.
Always love to see leather vents + deviating stitch.
Did the dealer miss ordering deviating stitch for steering column? Or is it there actually?
