Congratulations! Looks pretty sweet! Love the two-tone interior. Those bucket seats!! Also like the clear lens on the back. Wish I spec'ed them. The low-light condition adds to the mystique of the car; and, syncs with the gray color. Beautiful in all aspects!

Stun-Ning!!!!!
First time I've seen good pics of my color scheme with LWB... Didn't realize the little pillow cushion was black leather... Would have preferred red but looks good.
Also first time I've seen the leather-lined floor mats like mine.. Really really like them.. Nice choice (if I can say so myself).
Ambivalent on those rear lights.. They look nice, I didn't spec them, could go either way... Great choice on the black roll hoops.. Very cohesive look!!!
Black wheels also look great.. These are a definite first mod for me with the plasti-dip as I like the flat black look but want to keep the central button silver (the center of wheel with Porsche crest).
Trying to visualize flat black gt4 side scoops to match the wheels, and possibly rear spoiler in flat black also...
Just another month to wait.../

'Perfect leaning angle': Makes me second-guess my decision not to get! But, I just couldn't find a way to try them. May be let's all review after six to twelve months of use how the buckets work out. I am already spec'ing my next Spyder!!

GT3,
The car looks stunning. I spent a lot of time trying to decide with either going with basic white or the way you went. I also like the mats and great pics. Good luck with the car.

Just wanted to ring in with the fact that my leather lined floor mats came out Red with Black/Gray Leather Lining. I'm not sure what triggered this change from the black/grey ones with red leather lining I've seen here, but I'm happy. Car was parked in the center of the show room and was getting a lot of attention. People were walking straight past the 185k 911 Turbo and 140k 911 S and 260k Panamera (some sort of special edition) to look at my car. And yes my car is great. Really Really Solid feel compared to my other past cars especially for a convertible. Pulls strong. Really just city driving up and down the river a couple time and then parked the car in a garage unfortunately without in/out privileges until my road trip next week (300$ for a week -that's NYC folks). I did spring for the Tire/Wheel "insurance" and the paint-less ding and dent "insurance". It was a soft sell and I managed to squeeze a 25% discount which gave my spouse peace of mind although, honestly, I personally wouldn't have gotten it - I feel it's like paying in advance for something that might not happen - like praying for bad luck or something. The 32 miles I drove today (top down) were full of Thumbs-ups and positive head nods and unsolicited congratulatory comments from other drivers as well as people taking pictures with their cell phones lol (welcome to NYC) and a lot stares and second looks. Steering was great, I ended up (by accident) with the fake suede steering wheel and shift boot but it feels good and matches up well - so I'm ok that I didn't get the black leather. The grey fake suede looks and feels amazing in person. Everything is great including the multi-thousand dollar burmester stereo. The exhaust sounds good, not too loud except when revving up high and still not obnoxious IMO. Car feels low and SOLID. No rattles. Top is a pain but I will get a feel for it with a little more time and I'm confident about that. My advice is to pay attention to the red dots which signal the flaps are locked or not ( you will see them when you have yours). I can not say much about that driving dynamics yet - other then my first mid-engine car does feel different - balanced and less front heavy, or just plain light but planted on the ground and once I drive across the country and to CALIFORNIA I'll have a better understanding of turn-in and grip. Looking forward to driving the Ortega Hwy at night. I will say the car is fast - faster then my 135, I don't mind the long gearing myself, makes for lingering in gears longer in a relaxed unencumbered way but you can down shift and start revving I suppose which this car does with finesse. I think the gearing offers a lot of flexibility, perhaps at the cost of out right speed, but flexibility it does provide and I appreciate that. Really Really happy. I just want to thank George Gobrial at Manhattan Motorcars for all his help in configuring and securing this car for me. It is a dream come true. I would recommend George. He has a lot of knowledge to share and is very professional and personable.
