I had an MB before buying my first Porsche and I hadn't a clue how good a Porsche could handle....then I drove one and never looked back. I have had MB's since but they were for DD use.

You are definitely go to rock his world.

My wife had a MB E550 coupe until recently. Fast w 379 hp or so but not comfortable for me and not so much handling. Sold it to car max.

Last year, Pacific Porsche had a Spyder on their showroom floor with almost this identical build (i.e., GT, red stitch, full carbon, platinum wheels, red belts, etc.) and it looked sooo sharp it gave me pause on going with the Spyder Classic interior and the standard wheel finish.

Really, really nice!

Thanks, it really suits me. I'm still unsure if I'll use the plat wheels or go to a lighter silver version. What d'ya think?

My tastes run more "classic" so I stuck with the standard finish, but I sure thought long and hard about the platinum once I saw them on a GT Silver car. Tough call. I'm guessing brake dust is less visible with the platinum and, as I recall, the price quote I got (and someone else here got, too) on a set of Spyder wheels was astronomically high so if you do invest in a second set prepare to take out a second mortgage. I'd leave well enough alone as they look great!

GT Silver and Platinum wheels for me, although I have the classic interior for contrast. I would leave it....at least for awhile...looks great.
