^^^ Yep, very beautiful cocoa leather interior.

If I could do it over again that's what I would get, as the wife loves the look and wholeheartedly approves of it. The look of the leather, not my ordering a new one.

Ben, a mirror image of my exact thoughts....... wife's input, included!!

That's why to visit the Rennlist FIRST to figure it all out and THEN order! You guys cost me a fortune, but saved me from not ordering what I really wanted!

How long will you keep the car? I have a 97 993 Turbo S with a totally leather interior. It requires serious maintenance, particularly the headliner, as the leather (naturally) dries, is moisturized, dries again, begins to sag a little. About ten hours twice a year to keep right.

I agree and admittedly was not all that familiar with all the porsche options when I bought my 997S. While the wait for the TT is painful I was glad i had all that time to learn and really order it exactly as I wanted.

My wife is great and would let me chose any color I liked, but her taste is much better than mine so I brought her to see Cocoa and she loved it, that clinched it forme

mal28: The option for the crest in the rear console is:

I also did the door finishers in leather and love it because there is a great stiching line just forward of the window switches.

That's a great leather package!

mal28

tlsmithx, thank you, I love your interior, fortunately, my allocation has not "arrived" yet, so I can make changes, I will add some more leather!

We have had over 2 and 1/2 feet, yes feet! of snow in the last 2 days! All lake effect snow, so the Porsche 996 (I am waiting for the ordered 997 to arrive) , cleaned and polished and ready to enjoy Spring, sits warm and comfy in the garage.

Hope all you in nicer climates have a healthy and happy Easter/Passover

mal: Sorry for the lag - but it's the first time I looked in the car, since then. My '05 headliner is Cocoa Alcrantra and the visors are plastic, but Cocoa. ..and I don't have a copy of the build sheet ..and they don't put those little bits of paper under the front hood that show options...

Damn, tismithx got a helluva shopping list. That'll be a beautiful car.

Wow - what a leather package... look forward to the pictures.

Jim - the option sticker should be in the inside front cover of one of your manuals. The dealer should have placed it there.
