Very nice! I'm waiting for my cold weather setup. I'm getting these wheels https://www.victorequipmentwheels.co...rims-baden.php with Michelin Pilot A/S 3s. I only plan on driving it in the winter when the roads are clear so I don't have to store it.

Are those an OEM Porsche setup.

A bit of a giggle. I didn't stall it until I got to the first traffic light. The PDK, even in manual mode, downshifts to the appropriate gear, but of course the manual doesn't. Trying to start in third isn't on. I found out that when you do stall, depressing the clutch starts it. Kind of cheating.
Car sounds great, I'm not too concerned with the GPF. I can hardly wait for break-in to be over so I can really hear it sing.

That is a fantastic color combo! I stared at the interior picture for a while trying to figure out why I liked it better than the espresso/cognac 991 I just sold. On the 991 the contrast stitching just goes across the top of the flat dash but not down the center tunnel. The extra contrast stitching makes this interior look even better on the 718.

Here you go. This is all I have so far. If there is something specific anyone wants to see in a pic, let me know.

^Thx! Just to confirm, the steering wheel stitching is not deviated (cognac) and the shifter and boot are black leather w/o dev stitch, correct?

Correct. The steering wheel stitching appears somewhat lighter than the leather, but it definitely isn't cognac.

Since I see you sometimes consider the Spyder, on the GT cars when you go with the MF Leather wheel it is not deviated...nor can it be “normally” optioned as deviated.

Yes, on the spyder/gt4 the only way to get dev stitching on the wheel and shifter is if you keep them in alcantara (race tex).

Congrats great spec love the interior choice. Much respect for the winter wheel set up being that I know how the weather can be in the 613 you are not taking snow for a no go!
