Dear Lord, that's so beautiful. I'd take that over a 991.2 or 992 C2S Cab any time.

The driver's side plastic interior to the sill plate sure is boogered up (picture #36.) I know it can be replaced, but that's some real abuse.

That does look bad. My car has that part scraped up as well and it is available from Suncoast for approx. $230. I was just searching for it the other day.

In my experience with two 996 examples, that plastic (and other plastic bits) mar easily, especially after the vehicle reaches a certain age. My center console ashtray cover gets a scuff if I even look at it sideways.

Mr. Clean magic eraser bar works wonders on getting out the scuffs and shoe marks. I tried that through a recommendation on this site and it made mine look almost new.

Interesting that it doesn't have Turbo S on the tach and Turbo S at the bottom of the center console like other 2005 models.

Looks like the stock gages were changed to a tan color. The carbon fiber piece may have been added in the center console where it would normally show Turbo S.

The gauges were ordered in yellow from factory Still no excuse for them not having turbo s on them!

Im still amazed at those highly optioned cabs with no seat heating ordered! I LOVE the turbo logo on the storage compartment lid!

Most of the cabs I see that don't have seat heaters seem to come from Florida or Texas, surprised to see this car didnt have them coming from near Chicago.

The yellow 15k-mile cab did $103k before fees. Wow.
