Thank you tomc_mets! I feel lucky to have found the black/terra full leather interior with the Atlas gray exterior. But then again there are many gorgeous color combos for 911's.

Terracota and Carrera red interior are my favorites interior colors.

Replaced my factory mats with Cocomats
Dark blue metallic 997.2 C2S with sand beige interior. I love it but wanted to break up the sea of beige:
Rear cargo deck with factory sand beige upholstery
Passenger's floormat in sand beige
Driver's floormat in sand beige
so I ordered and just received installed Cocomats:
Rear deck with Cocomat
Passenger side Cocomat
Driver's side Cocomat
As you can see below, it's a nice match with the body color:
Cocomat with dark blue paint and sand beige leather
Rear cargo deck with factory sand beige upholstery
Passenger's floormat in sand beige
Driver's floormat in sand beige
so I ordered and just received installed Cocomats:
Rear deck with Cocomat
Passenger side Cocomat
Driver's side Cocomat

*wall-of-text warning...
I unplugged my PSE to keep it in the open setting, full-time. As there are many threads discussing this quick and easily reversible "mod," there must be many here who have also done this. The sound is quite a bit deeper and louder in the ~20-50 MPH range now. My SW bypass + (unplugged) PSE is even a little louder than the SW bypass + Fister ceramic coated exhaust that I had on the C2S. (Could be partly down to the X51 Powerkit, though. The GTS simply screams up top in a way the already mellifluous SW+Fister equipped non-X51 C2S could never come close to matching.)
Anyway, I found a good solution for stopping up the female side of the connector, in order to keep the connections inside it clean. (I'll try and add photos here tomorrow.) I just took one of the light gray bulb housings from an extra set of side markers I had, removed the orange bulb, and used it as a dead plug to insert into the female side of the PSE connector. Perfect fit! And I then zip tied that cable/connector head to a nearby cable. Clean and simple solution.
My dealer's parts dept. is trying to find me a separate connector head to cap off the male side of the connection. In the mean time, I've wrapped the exposed elements of that side of the connection with silicone self-fusing tape that's heat resistant up to 500* F. Works like a charm. I'd still prefer the clean dead connector head, though.

VERY nice! I agonized over the choice between the OEM SCs and BBS LM-Rs. Two of the best looking wheels for the 997, IMO. Amazing deal by Suncoast. Congrats.

After seeing stevepow's car I'm leaning more towards the Fuchs style... for now
