Well your car is definitely a treat for all those that say they are sick of seeing black and silver Porsches. Great looking car. SY is not for everyone, but if you have the gutts it is a great look.

Your car looks fantastic! Love the yellow. Have you considered yellow seat belts? May add a nice touch as well.

Enjoy!!! (and stick with the 18s...look MUCH better).

Again, I appreciate all the welcomes! I really look forward to putting further personal touches on the car, including possibly the yellow seat belts. As for "deviated carpet color", that simply means that a different color carpet is used then regular. In my case the interior is graphite grey but the carpet sections of the car are the darker natural grey. May not show up well in the pictures, but I noticed it when I first saw it. I thought it provided some nice contrasts. As for the "special chassis rigidly tuned" that is Porsche options speak for the ROW M030 suspension upgrade.

Gregg - Sundaydriver already answered your Deviating Carpet question, but here is another example of it. I have Graphite Gray interior with Metropol Blue deviating carpet. see pic below. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Great car. Love the wheels!
That's my first planned upgrade: from stock 17" wheels to the 18" wheels on your car. Wanna swap?
I'll pay freight. ; )

Welcome. Glad to see I'm not the only Speed Yellow with a graphite interior.

Nice ride - I'm going to have to ponder that interior for a while, I don't know what to make of it. I would think in black it would be spectacular, but the gray would take some getting used to.

Car looks tight, though....

I too was a bit apprehensive about the grey interior based on the pictures but when I saw it in person, I really liked it. The dark grey carpets/headliner and black instruments/gauges and seat belts do help. Ultimately, it was how the car drove and the overall condition of the car which sold me on it.

Also, I decided to stick with the 18" wheels for now. Appreciate all the thoughts on that.
