I have been the proud owner of a 2004 GT3. Bought it with only 6900 miles, and I am the 4th owner. There were 2 GT3s I was interested in when I purchased it. Other than mileage and condition, the options swayed me to this specific car. It has full leather, PCCBs, Litronic lights; in fact sticker was $126K. The key option is related to my inquiry. It was optioned with every interior surfaced covered in leather, including air vents, turn signal and wiper stocks.
Since I bought it I have been curious as to how many GT3s were optioned in this manner. It seemed strange that a track oriented car would be so configured. Where could I go to find out?.. thanks.

Base car was over 100k, in 2003-5 dollars. Not cheap. Americans new very little about this car and for +100k it was noisy and had terrible stereo. Some optioned like a turbo, ie like yours. Many traded them back to dealer very quickly. Not loved and respected until later.

Porsche AG doesn't share the details of each car's configuration with the public in a single data base. Since I have kept an eye on GT3 since the beginning I can tell you there were more cosmetically optioned cars produced than you would think for a track oriented model. The dealerships often order the cars without a buyer in mind, and they make a lot of money on the options so, they load them up.
Regarding the leather, the cars with an exceptional amount of leather coverings are in the minority for 2004-2005 GT3.

I (and I'm sure others) would really enjoy seeing a photo of your special interior. Thanks!

Ironically, when I moved to Florida the local dealer had a lightly used '04 GT3 on the lot. One trip on around the block and it was mine. The car originally came from... you guessed it... Cincinnati.
You can see how mine was optioned in my tagline. I'm the second owner and I know the first owner who ordered the car. About the only thing it didn't have on my wish list would be the full leather (lucky dog, wdavis). Base price was $99,900. Optioned price was $108,040.
I wish wdavis the best with his new car.
