That's what Chuck did to my leather when he got in for a ride. It's a perversion you must tolerate if you own a Porsche with full leather. Pretty girls do it too, but that just reflects their good taste.

It was the KY Jelly in your shirt pocket that worried me.

..aand we're back.

I was going to order a 991 4S without leather until I found a 2S on the local lot with espresso natural leather.

The leather whispered, took me home, and it was all over..err, wait, anyway..

Snow tires later, we're still in love, that's all that matters.

I would not consider dropping full leather on such an amazing build. I would drop PDCC before going to base leather (unless you're planning on tracking the car a lot).

Interesting. I would suggest dropping the PDCC if tracking the car a lot, and keeping leather in any case! Sport PASM and leather have the fight feel!

I don't really want to drop anything... But full leather would go before PDCC.

Please get the leather. Just ignore Gary and chuckbdc and nicoli on their comments about the frufru touchy feely natural leather . Oh, and if you have a wife, please budget a fortune for her to spend on shoes and purses worthy of the leather in the car.

Ha, no wife here, It's cheaper! As I said earlier, sacrifices have to be made for the X51 engine...

Haha I actually agree with this! Let's drop the PDCC altogether, and get some carbon fiber trim to go with that power kit

DrJay, I also just remembered the 18 way seats come in the better leather (just for the seats that is), so the only think you'll miss out on is the dash and door trim in leather, which isn't that big of a loss, but definitely will make your car 'feel' more expensive, which I personally think is important when spending so much on such an amazing build. But regardless, your build is awesome no matter what.

Wait just a minute here. I have serious German black hard leather, not that purse- grade saddle color stuff. It should be REQUIRED with the X51 package, along with the riding crop.

I have been trying to decide what to do about the trim actually... I am not so sure the standard trim will be the best option. I am not so sure the carbon fibre would be the best either. Perhaps getting it painted in the same color as the exterior?
