as for the wheels, I believe whatever the factory provides will be the same widths.

I agree with many of the above posts regarding lack of need for the rear wiper and park assist. I ordered the advanced design option which included all of the aluminum and leather trim pieces that would really accentuate your black interior. Mine is graphite gray with orient red exterior. I am only disappointed that I did not get the autodim mirror and rain sensor wipers. These are convenience items though and more important is getting the personal features you like. In addition to the above I got aluminum/leather gearshift/handbrake, supple leather, technic package (includes bose and litronic headlights-awesome!), power/lumbar seats, porsche crest wheel centers, and Porsche mats. Best of luck, you've picked a spectacular car!

Good question. I'll be back in Miami next week to pick up the order confirmation/print out. I think I'll stick with the Black/Black with red stitching. I will scrap the rear wiper and park assist. I will look into the arctic silver console/aluminum accents. I definitely like the idea of aluminum accents. I have to confirm that I can get the right size tires from the factory. The C4S has 9" front and 11" rear tires, if I'm mistaken.

Thanks, again, for the advice.

Great choices!! Cngratulations.

Unless it has changed for 2003, I could not get fixed spoilers for my 2002 C4S from the factory. It would have to be aftermarket. Just make sure they are for the wide body.

Wheels. The stock wheels on the C4S are 8x18 and 11X18, with 225X40 and 295X30 tires. If you change these, the PSM will need to be calibrated. Try and see if you can get the PZero Corsa tires!! They are awesome street legal track tires, but it appears nobody has been able to get them.

I agree with everone else regarding the park assist. The dimpled look is something else.

Black/black with full carbon fiber would be awesome!! Don't know if you think the price for the full treatment is worth it, though.

Congratulations, and happy waiting!

RJ, thought I'd post a couple of pics w/silver console. Granted it's Metropol Blue, but I think you can see the effect. Also consider alum pedals..they help to offset the black as does the carbon fiber wheel, shift **** and brake handle. Anyway, good luck on your final decision when you get back.

In addition to this pic there are several more on Page 20 of my website showing the contrast. Having a Cab makes these types of pics a little easier to take.

Hi everybody, new here. Also looking at C4S and color stitching is definitely on my list. I haven't seen it in real person, does anyone has any pic? My other favorite is sport seats with painted seat back and may be painted console. Color belt might look a little cheesy.
