I don't think he got ruby, but meteor with red interior. Loud, but probably a stunner. I think the deviating carpets will nicely tone it down a bit.
I am in the waiting line as well. I think the contrasting painted sections will be great and ordered them myself, although mine are earth tones.

ajag,
Sounds like a great car. My C4S probably won't get in much before yours does, and I obviously agree with your reasoning for getting an '08, rather than waiting for the '09. My dealer has a meteor gray cab with the carrera red interior on the showroom floor right now, but I can't recall if it has the deviating carpet or not. The interior looks really, really good with meteor gray; I considered doing carrera red with a black dashboard and all of the other parts that would be black in Porsche's two-tone interiors, but I didn't want to add the extra time to my order. I think you'll really enjoy the car.

Ajag....that is a stunning combo. Carrera Red goes VERY well with Meteor. Until you see it in person, it's scary to think about, but it comes together well in person, trust me.
Terrible dealer pic, but Meteor/Carrera Red:

Thanks Eric, do you have any interior pics of that car? I've found a few on the web, but none with the painted center console or door finishers. Also, I am probably gonna get some CF interior bits from you, including the storage bin lid for the center console, do you have any pics of that (other than the close up on your web site)? Does it match the OEM CF weave?

Here's a link to a meteor/carrera red turbo cab on dupont. It looks like it has the deviating black carpet but could really use a CF or exterior painted center console to break up the red. Also, I haven't seen a good online pic that doesn't make the color look too "pink." It doesn't have that lipstick look in real life, IMHO.

Well, a few reasons. One, the exterior updates based on the spy shots don't do it for me, I really don't like the droopy LED taillights. Two, as much as I'd like DFI with a little power bump and better mileage, the #s haven't been determined and I hate to be a guinea pig. Third, there's likely going to be a price bump and I won't get a deal off MSRP on an ordered '09 so it's effectively going to cost me 8-10% more (yeah, will probably save some of that in better resale I know). Finally, I'm impatient and I want to drive it all summer. ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Don't have more shots of that particular car. CF is exact factory-matched, same weave pattern, color, etc. and won't crack/turn yellow like some factory carbon does.
We can do the rear console painted after delivery for you assuming you have non leather rear console for swap, it's half the factory option price from us.
Email me anytime for more info. Thanks!

The last pic is the closest to my build interior, with the addition of exterior painted door finishers and the black floor mats setting off the red a bit more as well as more carbon. Hope I don't regret it!

If only the Techart steering wheel weren't so $$$$...I'd love to throw that in in black/carbon.
Anyone else offer a thicker sport steering? Eric?
