OMG....there are quite a few. I can't say they are for me....but somebody spent some serious coin on it. The car is not far away from me.

I like the Carrera script on the door with the red accent (but not the goofy GTS part). I like it when people tastefully mod their cars to make them unique. This car has a lot of very nice mods, but there are just too

many of them. Kind of like Joey's outfit in the Porsche episode of Friends.

Looks like a bone-stock '99 Carrera 4 GTS :-)

Seriously, neither the interior nor exterior do much for me, but I'm surprised that after all that the original owner left the CD holders and OE shift **** in place. I would've expected the CF shift **** to match the e-brake handle.

Anyway, I hope the seller gets his number. A rising tide lifts all ships.

Just fits with the overall patchwork interior. Blue leather (though the seats look black to me...), some aluminum trim, some dark CF, some light CF, the red CF around the ignition, painted parts, and the wood.

It's just a whole lot of wow packed into a tiny little car.

What the **** happened in the interior? Looks like a friggen light weight circus tent with a life jacket for a seat belt.

Like KC said earlier, a few tasty mods here and there. The rest is crap!

BTW, what with the refrigerator defrost pan under the rear apron?

What's with the red color under the front lip?

What's with those ricer center caps on the wheels?

.... And that "GTS", not once but 3 times around.

OK I kind of like the red stripe around the wheel but not the "Porsche" writing. Too flashy. "Hey look; I'm driving a Porscha."

Yes a tribute to bad taste.

Looks like price at dealership lowered to $26.8k if that helps anybody stomach the rainbow interior.

What is a reasonable offer for a car 'optioned' like this? Is it easy to remove all those ridiculous stickers from the paint/wheels without damaging them?

Why settle for just one color when you can have all of them? Looks like Ronald McDonald chose the palette.

I think some of the CF might be DiNoc as well - the door bin covers - but I can't tell for sure.
