Default Who has the most options on their 993?

I searched around for a while & didn't really find a conclusive post. I'd love to know who has the highest optioned 993 out there. I love highly spec'd cars & there are so many obscure 993 options. If there is another post regarding this - please direct me o it!
So far, this is one of the highest optioned cars I've seen:\http://www.rpmsportscars.com/door28.htm

I would love to have full leather interior with red deviated stitching and full carbon fiber.

Man.. you keep pretty close tabs on listers here!

I have to admit that I didn't get a chance to have a good look around that car. I had driven a friend's Jaguar XK140 to Crevier (where the pictured car is stored) in Newport Beach & driving another good friend's Ferrari 599 from there... Needless to say, I wasn't paying "full" attention to any one car...

Love how Boxster Red photographs almost like how the Chestnut Brown really looks in person.

Oh, my C4S had a sticker around $93K. Out of town right now, but I can edit this and fill in all the options if I'm still in the running for the category of "most thankful to an original owner who wore out a pen checking option boxes".

Would love to see your car - please post pictures of your Chestnut Brown interior too... Is CB leather? I saw a post where it was suggested that CB was vinyl only..?

Thanks, Nurburger!!! I'm following up for a fellow RLer, who keeps tabs on exotic 911s. We suspected it was the same you shared, & your mention of Crevier now confirms: he had already relayed that he called to inquire about buying it years ago - Crevier wanted $140k. FWIW, he's under the impression it was once possessed by of the owner of The Robb Report.

More photos, including shots he took in storage at Crevier, on the "993 Paint to Sample Pics" thread.
Let me know if you'd like me to upload a photo of the sticker in its bonnet that I recently took.

Diggable, as delivered by Porsche: matching hard-back sports seats, parcel shelf/ rear seat delete, carbon fiber & aluminum, contrasting Guards Red seat belts, + more goodies.

That's mine. I bought the car as second owner when it was six years old -- so I can't be blamed for the many ridiculous and costly options. Of course the original owner got very little resale value for all of those mostly cosmetic options. I like aerokit cars; the rest I could care less about.

Thanks!
