I like the deviated carpet too. Another way to achieve that look is to simply place black mats in there..

Sounds like you built a beautiful 991!

Damn, that's pretty...

Damn, that's expensive.. $130+K for a 'S'.. wow..

As far as the hood badge goes the ones I have seen are a substantial piece countersunk into the hood and not just a sticker. The only reason Porsche lists zero cost items is because they are part of option packages or necessary preparations for another option package so I have to wonder if there isn't a less ornate hood badge if you get a base car or don't check some option box? Just speculating there.

Qucik question, with this full leather option, IS THE CONSOLE covered in leather? or just the dash/doors?

or basically, what exact parts are covered in leather?

You probably get a hood badge like this on a base car. I think you should check an option box.

Actually going back 20 years to the old way of doing the badges.

Years ago you could also delete from front hood badge. Was popular with some Europeans.

I think by MY 2014, all cars sold in US will have to have a back up camera. So, if you wait, it will be "free"

Full leather covers the leading edge of the dash and most of the doors. The edge of the console is leather, the top is hard something or other with buttons and AC switches. The central console lid is leather but without stitching. On full leather cars there is a trim piece in aluminum that continues the theme on the dash. That is just plastic in the same color as the vinyl door panels on the partial leather cars.

If you want to (and there is diminishing returns on these choices), you can change the aluminum trim brightwork, both on the dash and doors and on the gear shift surround to leather. And you can continue the leather from the leading edge of the dash on forward to the windshield. You can also cover the slats in the AC vents, the frame around the vents, and the surround around the dash instruments in leather. The rear speakers can be covered and even the key can come in a leather wrapped enclosure. The formed plastic piece between the two rear seats can be changed to leather with decorative stitching and as a bonus that comes with that, the front console lid gets matching stitching. For a while the seat backs of the sports seats could be leather covered and I'm sure that option will be back.

Confused? Just order full leather and everything that's not leather is pretty unimportant.

Agreed - $130K for a "regular" 911 is ridiculous. Consider 997 GT3s started at $105K, Turbos at $125K... I'm sure the new car has tons of content, but come on, Porsche. There's a reason they are the most profitable car company in the world.

As for this car, I think it looks great minus the white wheels. And I agree 100% with getting black deviated carpet (and stitching while you're at it!). It really tones the red down enough to make it exotic without being overwhelming.

Thanks for posting these new 991s - it's interesting to see the varieties out there.
