I got the matching keychain for the seat inserts.

aside from this, there is not much else you can do.

Congratulations!

I think the stock exhaust is too quiet.

definitely needs something!

I'm content where I'm at. I'll probably add a 992 TTS just to have the back seats for the kids when those settle down in price. I'm tired of paying these mark ups although no regrets.
I like them both.

I think the Speedster is a modern classic.

The 992 is just more modern and perfect in every way to me!

You should go back to your dealer to sort this out.

PS - They also come with a special book from memory.

Pretty sure that only Speedsters with the heritage package came with a car cover. Mine did, and it was in the car when it arrived at the dealership (off the delivery truck). There are two versions -- the "heritage package" version, which is ivory with gold trim (99155840500), and the "regular" version, which is black with silver trim (99155840501). I have them both.

Also, all original owners did receive a leather folio book in the mail -- a "thank you" of sorts, from Porsche.

A note book. I think in other countries a Speedster hardback brochure was included. But, as far as I know no such brochure was released by PCNA here in the US.

Heritage pack Speedsters also came with a cool cognac key holder/case (in addition to the car cover).

I find that green is a really hard car to photograph too.


gorgeous color on the Roma, which has really grown on me.

That’s nice where did you get the basket weave inserts done? They also did the custom small cushion? That cushion makes all the difference in comfort and sitting position.

Thank you. I also used a sparco lumbar support, and have it under the seat cushion, which really solves 99% of my back issues.

justin Placek form Hamburg, DE made the basket weave insert and additional lumbar pillow.

Default Mileage?

Quick question - what have you all got for mileage on your Speedsters?

TIA,

Joel

I purchased my car only this last September. But have 4500kms on it already. It had very few miles when it was purchased.

Seems like the active members on this thread use their cars, that’s def my plan. Im not going to worry too much about racking up the miles.
