I can deal with the interior, but I think the black shiny wheels look like someone went to town on them with high gloss Krylon...spoils the otherwise good exterior looks.

Check their site and inventory. Very nice stuff there.

No affiliation, just know some of the folks there.
I like the Baltic blue 997 they have on their site, though I'd prefer grey or black interior.

You gotta hand it to the "creativity" of this dealer. They are the same folks who are offering the Kermit the Frog Green C4S --see post

A dry pair of blue jeans will be bad news for those seats. Then again someone who would buy this type of interior may not wear blue jeans at all......"Pass the Grey Poupon"

In that case, better Scothguard those seats! Racing stripes are for the outside of the car, not the inside !!!

It's been almost 7 years since I bought my last Porsche car. I waited all this time to get the 997TT shown in my avatar. Truthfully, I like all of these cars so much now, its hard for me to dislike anything about any of them - regardless of color (maybe with the exception of the guy who destroyed his car with those "can-can" red aftermarket seats), but I am talking about factory optioned cars only.

I would not own a lot of the colors because I am fairly conservative (greys, white, silvers), but I do appreciate all of the other cars that are posted here. 997's are just great looking cars period...

I know what you mean. I wouldn't get this combo, but that isn't to say I think it looks bad. I think it actually looks fine, but it just won't stay that way.

The 997 is without a doubt (in my mind) the best Porsche ever made for under $200,000.
