Default Interesting options?

I was decoding the option sticker on the new to me 993TT and came across a few interesting options.

Black calipers (I've never seen these on a TT)
Leather bound floor mats (even the carpet feels different, feels much deeper and softer)
Rear wiper delete (uncommon on a TT)
Lighted footwells (never know this existed)
RSD (I know it's fairly common but my first on 7 993's so far)

It also has more common options like Nokia digital sound, aluminum shifter and e brake, silver gauges, sport seats w/heat.

Overall it's an interesting car that must have been ordered by a specific buyer.

Exclusive Programme options, probably? I remember Car and Driver doing a sidebar on leather options on an '87 Carrera at the time. If I recall correctly, they counted 2 pages of options, about $30K and approximately two cows worth of leather hides.

Things like leather covered glove box ****, leather bound rugs, leather covered door lock pop-ups and pulls... that type of frivolity.

Ok, ok... I fired up my computer to post up these bad pictures. Can someone please fix the iPhone app so we can upload photos again?

Show off

That combination of options certainly points toward a car specced by an enthusiast owner rather than a dealer. Nice car.

I'm really glad the PO of my C4S ordered rear wiper delete. I wish they had ordered technology wheels.

Came across a TT recently with two tone blue/grey interior. I'd bet that was rarely chosen.
A while ago someone posted their big reds were ordered silver instead of red.

Interior looks very nice, especially heated sport seats.

So how do you like your first RSD? More pix of the red CGT!

Should have the car tagged this week so I'll let you know when I drive it. It's a lot higher than I imagined it would be. I guess it needs to be to allow space to actually store something underneath.

I had looked at this 993TT a few years back here in Toronto. It had the black calipers and I didn't realize how unusual that was at the time.

Always use mine especially on trips. I fill it up.

Wow. Nice car! I'm curious about the footwell lighting. Never heard of that before.
