Thanks for all the thumbs up!
A few impressions of so far….
Gobs of power of course, nice exhaust sounds, outstanding handling.
Get the seat ventilation. I am addicted to it already! Keeps your back nice and cool when driving. Not as big a deal during winter in some parts I am sure, but in California even right now it is really nice.
Stitching was expensive but I am really glad I got it. It makes the whole interior pop. Having the dials in white is a perfect match to the stitching I got.
Love the sport classic wheels! I'm sure the gloss black ones look great too with the right colors.
Bose system sounds great to me. Who knows, maybe Burmeister is better, but I like the Bose.
The way the car feels when the rear wheels turn is very cool. I haven't pushed it hard yet but in tight turns you can feel it sort of rotate, rather than simply turn like a normal car. Not sure that makes sense but I guess you need to feel it for yourself.
The overall fit and finish is superb. Brilliant engineering and craftsmanship. Porsche bleeds us dry of course at every turn, but man do they make a nice product.
No rattles so far from the steel sunroof!
The stock interior trim looks pretty good actually and matches the sport design steering wheel spokes, other interior trim parts, and even the sport classic wheels quite well. I considered doing it in carbon fiber but since everything matches so well I will be leaving as is.
The LEDs are cool. Expensive, but cool. Probably better lighting, and they just look cool.
The wheels could take sightly wider tires on a future set. Rears come stock at 305 but the wheels could easily take 315s. It would fill out the wheelwells slightly better and give you a little cushion when parallel parking too. There is zero room for error with curbs with them as is. Yes, the sport classics are same width as the centerlock wheels that are stock on the TTS. They are wider than the stock TT wheels.
More later …

Fantastic! Love the spec.....
I see you got the rear column/storage cover in smooth leather with stitching,...this is a great option for the money IMO. I have it, love it.....
Also love the sport designs,.....the look is classic and simple and I love the "concave" rear look.
