I did the headlight washers bc I don't want any chrome on the car. Thought about the front grills but it becomes a little too much red with no contrast.

That is an amazingly cool car - really! Nice choices all around, you have a unique,cool car at a reasonable buck (well, in the Porsche world, anyway).

Good question, but on the order sheet I think the only way to get a leather storage bin cover is to order either of crested/model logo versions.

Great car 997.2 guards red brother! Lol you can tell your wife that I also ordered the same seats on my car (black sports seats leather). So far I am loving them although I need to make sure I pack my *** correctly into the bucket part.

The only way to get the leather storage bin cover in leather (and, yes, it will have to have either the crest or the model logo) is to find someone (who has the same color interior as you do and who also ordered the bin cover in leather already) to order a replacement cover using their VIN. The replacement cover can then be installed in your car.

It looks like natural brown. I have that in my NB.

Contact me and I can slip you my VIN. Oops. Disregard. I think that part is different between a cabrio and a coupe.

Hey Nice car. Love that Guards Red. My first ever Porsche was a Guards red 944 way back in 1985 so I am partial to that color. Love the Red stitching, Enjoy your new baby.

Yeah it's natural brown. That's interesting that DanJK has a leather storage bin lid with no crest or model logo. I'm sure that the for 08 you could only get it in leather with either the crest or model logo. The crest would be ok since I don't have them on my headrests. I'll ask the dealer about it when I go to the launch party at Annapolis Porsche this Saturday. If they can't do it then I'll just live with my vinyl storage bin lid. It looks fine but it would be nicer to have stitching to match the center console.
