Dale,

That car reminds me of the former Jerry Rice turbo that was for sale before and Anderson-Behel when it had 11k miles. I remember those type of wheels and red interior. Does your car also have a bunch of burl wood in the interior, including a wood steering wheel?

Carrera GT

Here's a thread on the Rennlist Wheel+tyre forum talking about weights but I don't know that it's all that easy to define strength, although searching the forums, it's apparent people have had consistent trouble with a few makers.

thank you, i am so brain impaired i had no idea there was a wheels forum.

Yes, that's the one. I'm not crazy about the wood trim but have a hard time imagining alternatives that would look better with the red interior.

Alu...

carbon fiber

Yeah, I've been trying to picture both the aluminum and carbon fiber trim with the boxter red interior but I'm having a hard time. Does anyone have a picture of either of those combinations? Or even better, does anyone have either of those combinations in the SF Bay Area that I can see in person?

Dale,

If I'm not mistaken, we have exactly the same car? From your pics, your interior color actually looks like Chestnut Brown (a dark red) rather than Boxster Red (brighter) - or Flamenco Red (more orange).



My car was ordered by the original owner with the Turbo S interior, ie. all CF. I've enclosed a pic so you can see if you like it better than the wood. If you want a few higher-res pics, feel free to e-mail me at adhir@qx.net .

Have fun with your new baby!

anir,

what did those red gt3 seats cost? ouch?

nice rig!!!!!!!!!!

Anir,

They could be the same. I was told that my interior was boxter red but I haven't had anything to compare it with. Here's a picture of my interior. Yes, I am interested in seeing more pics of your interior. I'll email you.

Watt,

I bought the GT3 seats from Gert back when the exchange rate worked in our favor. If I remember correctly, I paid about $2,700 U.S. for both. I am very grateful to Gert for getting the factory custom work done since several American sources told me it was impossible. Took about 8 months for the seats to arrive.

Dale,

I was mistaken. I believe your interior is indeed boxster red. Looks nice.

Anir

Dale,

Actually, my wife is convinced that your car is chestnut brown. She thinks the slight difference in shade is down to the lighting. I have to admit that your carpet looks exactly the same color as my car.

I think T15 may the Porsche color code for chestnut brown. Alternatively, you can order a Kardex (factory build sheet) from PCNA in Atlanta that specifies your interior color.
