Default My new to me 997

Attached are a few pictures of my new 2010 Carerra coupe. It is oddly optioned with SC, leather seats but no memory or power, 19" wheels but with no colored crest, PASM, heated seats, rear wiper. But that's OK, it's not missing anything that I need and although I think the SC is a little silly, it doesn't bother me.

Atlas Gray with black interior, 14K miles, it came from MA and is now in NC.

I had to put on the plate on the front because the idiots at the original selling dealer punctured the bumper four times with the screws and bumper plugs just won't do it.

Agreed, great car but are you sure that's Atlas Gray? Doesn't look anything like mie, but I recognize it looks different based on the available light.

You should get the matching dead pedal. It will look like the rest of pedals. I did mine and think it was $80.

Definitely not atlas. Agree on meteor. Only other possibility would be slate but I'm not sure that was even available for .2 cars.

Looks Nice!!!!!! I have the same 4 holes on the front and I am going to give the bumper plugs a shot, I will let you know how it goes. Eric makes smaller plugs now, it has to look better than a plate.

Beautiful rides MJ!

As for the bumper issue... I just got a really nice tow-hook mount for my plate, and found that someone had done the same thing to my bumper. Four freakin' holes!!

Now I guess I'll go get it filled and painted.
