Default So, I think I am close to final spec...

Here it is, I captured a video from the configurator. The trim is painted the same Basalt Black as the exterior.


Things you can't see are:

Powerkit
PDCC
SPASM
Black Deviating Carpets

There must be a bug in the forum software, I can't get it to post the video only once.

Jay,

I watched the video and was going to suggest black carpet, but then saw your foot notes. Awesome build, especially with the Powerkit.

That video did not show the deviating luxor stitching on the black part of the 2 tone leather. I loved mine in real life.

Are you sure you need the rear wiper? I don't have it and its seems fine to me in the rain. Unless I guess you are driving in the snow.

I wasn't sure actually. I thought it might come in handy considering this will be my daily driver in MN. DO you, or have you, driven yours in winter yet?

I don't have one on my 997, there has been a few times when I think it would have been handy when it is snowing.

And you are right, it did not show the deviating stitching on the black parts. Also not shown is the premium plus package.

Mine is a 3 season car and I just got it. So never have and probably never will drive it while snowing. I have a C2S BTW. The other thing about driving in snow that I am concerned about is clearance. With you having SPASM, that could be more of an issue in those slushy days. I just thought it looks better without the rear wiper, IMHO.

You forgot the "smoking package"? It covers up the hole between the seats, behind the pdk selector, and gives you an extra 12V outlet ! It's a zero cost option !

spasm or no spasm, there are some days it would make no difference. I have been stuck downtown a few times due to snow amounts, I make the best of it, find a hotel room and a good bar with lots of pretty ladies... ;-)

There are days I would probably drive the truck, but most winter I am able to drive the Porsche.

I never even considered it. I am trying to remember now, is there still a place to set an iPhone?
