So - traded my 2010 BMW M5 for a 2013 C2S as my daily driver. I had a 96 993 C4S for a daily driver for about 3 years - so a 991 will be great. I was working a deal on a Merino Red Pano GTS with the black interior with red stitching (GTS interior option). Just too much money for the budget. So - I will drive this for two years and traded it for the Pano that I want. So far thats the plan.

Build Specs:
-Agate grey with the black/grey full leather combo interior
-PDK
-Platinum wheel finish
-PASM
-Sport Exhaust
-PCM/Nav
-18 way adaptive seats
-Heated/cooled seats
-Premium package plus
-Bose upgraded stereo
-Sunroof
-Power Steering
-Sport Chrono
-Sport sterring wheel
-Porsche crest on seats
-Aluminum foot rest
-PDK shifter in Aluminum
-Stainless steel sills

Sorry - I will post pics this weekend.

On another note - Man! - I love driving this car. It drives like no other. Makes my GT3RS even more raw - didn't think that was possible.

You will love the color, I'm a little biased! The platinum wheels look great on the agate! I can't wait to see the interior pics. Congrats!

I really like the color/rim/interior combination. Are you going to get clear side markers?

Enjoy!

Looks amazing; love the full leather combo and how it compliments the exterior. Enjoy! Definitely need to change those amber side markers though, would finish off this amazing car.

The interior combo perfectly sets of the colour of the exterior. Great selection and congrats!

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, I have ordered the clear side indicators. Wish I went with the clear rear lenses. Too expensive the change now - maybe later.

I wish that Porsche would re-introduce yellow stitching again. That would be great on a black or agate grey all leather interior. Not on this color combo though.

I never liked grey interiors - but with this two-tone, I think it looks fab!

Congrats on a stunning looking combo you have. Are you going to tint the windows at all ?

I will never understand how my agate 991 always looks better than everyone else's agate 991.

I'm smiling but it's true!
