OK here’s the situation. My lovely, kind and supportive wife , is all over a factory order 997S Cab. The only problem, and I can't blaim her is, she’s saying that if “I” get to have the Adaptive Sports Seats with the adjustable side bolsters and lumbar adjustment on “my side” . . . so does she.

Does anyone know if this is a factory available option or will it have to be aftermarket?

Yikes, on second thought, is this even available aftermarket?

When I ordered my adaptive sport seats, they came for both driver and passenger. This was in 2005.

With the adaptive sport seats the passenger gets as many adjustments as the driver with the exception of no memory function on the passenger side.

You guys are HEROS! There could be a Fountain Blue 997S CAB on order pretty soon.

What color interior will you go with? Sea Blue would be AWESOME with Fountain Blue!

Your option package looks pretty good, in general. Some minor comments:
-Sport chrono not very useful, however, many order it
-Consider some additional leather pieces, such as A pillars
-Sport seat backs are gray plastic & will not look right with your heavily optioned interior, - get either leather or painted to match body
-Carbon door entry guards may look like "orphans", consider leather or stainless steel
-For price of footrest option, you can get full set of pedal covers from aftermarket

A couple suggestions for when you get the car:
-Clear front marker lights to replace the orange
-Put a clear bra on it, but instead of a precut kit, get a custom with full coverage of the hood & fenders & lights removed so no seams are visible
-Satellite radio-Cayenne parts can be retrofitted

Good luck

Don't forget option - CGA (headlamp washer painted the color of the car, rather than silver). It has got to be one of the least ordered options.

I hope you don't mind if I ask another question about the adaptive seats, but I was wondering - when I see a car listed with the adaptive sport seats does that automatically mean it has power heated seats?

Both seats - luv'um...

Jim - that wil be a GREAT looking Cab! DO you have a pic of Horizon Blue?

jimmc8

Streamlined - You would think so with the cost of the seats but alas no.

9elf S - CGA - Good option, thanks.

-Sport chrono - Is there much pressing need either to order or not?
-A pillars - Do you know what option # this is? and what items it covers?
-Sport seat backs - You are absolutely correct, leather it is.
-Stainless Steel - Don't know how the carbon got there, defitely SS
-Footrest Option - Thought this WAS a full set. Will do after.
-Clear front marker lights - Absolutely
-Put a clear bra - I have no experience with the BRAs but will investigate.
-Satellite radio - not too available in Canada but an interesting idea.

Anything more, bring it on.

Thanks again.

Seems a wonderful different compromise colour.

Thanks a bunch - I am finding some dealer listings are very confusing as they list options with codes then other things in the description and I get the feeling it might be a case of bad cut and paste Gotta have the heated power seats

Sounds like you'll have a beautiful car, might want to add the thicker steering wheel if you haven't already
