Default New to the 911!

Hello Everyone,

Having driven a M coupe and M3 for the past 8 years, I finally took the plunge and got a 911. I have always wanted one, and I found a great deal on a new 2008 C2S that was just too good to refuse.

As you will want the details, here they are:

Meteor Grey Metallic
Black Full Leather
Leather Sport seats
Self Dimming Mirrors
Heated Front seats
Sport Chrono
Navigation
Bose
Floor mats
P crest in headrest
Rear Cntr Cons in exterior color
Instr surround exterior color
CD changer
Thicker Steering wheel
Wheel caps in colored crest
Door guards in St. Steel illuminated
foot rest aluminum
storage compt with model logo
Sport exhaust

- I already replaced the yellow side markers with clear ones -

All I can say is the grin has yet to leave my face! Looking forward to being part of the group.

Very nice, I just got mine last Saturday and I'm still basking in the glow. I'm working from home today and went out during lunch time to just drive around.

Thanks for all the nice messages - I love this car!

Here's another side shot - before I changed the side marker to clear. Very different drive than the M cars I had before...

Beautiful car and great specs. Full leather and XPA steering wheel are great options.

Congrats and hope you really enjoy your new car.

If you don't mind, I'd love to see some close-up pics of the interior as I came very close to ordering the exterior painted console and instrument surround with my meteor grey 4S coupe. I chickened out and stuck with the all black full leather interior in the end.

Just curious what it would have looked like... Thanks.

mstams,

I'll take some pics over the weekend and post. I love the console being painted - it's really nice, and breaks up the interior in a subtle way. The instrument surround is a little more difficult to see, unless the right light is hitting the 'cockpit' :-)
