Here goes: Manufactured 4/95, black on black sport seats, chromed wheels.

The hood tag codes are: C02, XD4, X70, 373, 374, 454, 650, 680, 894, 00051, 09981, 09991, 18981.

This may sound rude, but I put the TT with the Boxster S and put the Z06 in the driveway until I can rearrange things... I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

My wife adopted the Boxster S. Actually I traded my C2 993 in on it for her. She is absolutely a changed woman. Even went on a diet and lost 20 pounds so she could sit way down in the seats...

So I inherited her Expedition, and the TT and Z06 are mine. She won't even get in the Z. I made some laps at Texas Motor Speedway with her in it and that was the end of her Corvette days...

Congrats on the new purchase.. They are addicting.

I can't say any more. Some people feel I am a BAD influence on new TT owners (and old owners, and not necessarily turbos either). But you could do a few things to.......

We want to see pics...

Pics are coming, just don't laugh at the chrome wheels. I just can't imagine why anyone would put chrome wheels on ANYTHING.

If you got the car from California, I think that chromed wheels are required. My metallic black 993 tt came from California and came with the required chromed wheels. You get used to it after time.

My black 993tt came from Texas and it had chromed wheels too. I've gotten used to it.

Bob,
You are definitely a "BAD" influence on ALL TT owners! But in a good way I guess! =)
Still thinking about your new breaks! Will definitely give you an answer by tomorrow latest.
Thanks for your time today! Your car is awsome!

BTW, are the painted calipers available? And are those front rotors readily available from Brembo if I ever need to replace them?
