Quit while you're ahead...trade your car for a 997S. You may take a hit, but turning your car into Frankenstein isn't going to be good for long term resale either.

I know you like Arctic Silver. As it is probably the most popular color, it shouldn't be hard to find one.

I agree Alan, I think ol' BD997 has gone off the deep end.... .

I believe that somewhere I saw that you can get:
GOLD plated bling bling brake calipers
Will look great with 20" wheels
Funkmaster Flex will be envious

I ended up with pretty much the same setup as yours except mine is GT Silver with adaptive sport seats but minus the Navi. I have the Pasm, 19" S, xenon, etc as well. I went to MA from CA just to pick up the car...kinda crazy now that I think about it... =)

Thats funny...because I first went to Herb to buy an S that they had but it was GT SILVER a color i didnt like...too dark for my taste...but they had an arctic silver c2 with 19" and he said they are holding back on 997's so the next ones would be coming in a month or more...so i just toook the C2...but i love it

I love my base 997 as well....The S is a better car but the 997 is good enough for a novice driver like me!

I want some calipers with diamonds on them!
