Default New to me 997.2 Cab

Hello guys,

Here is my new car, upgraded from a 996 Tip Cab (gone but not forgotten). Pics from dealer, will update newer when I get the chance.

Very interesting compared to the 996. PDK obviously the easiest upgrade to point to, but the fit and finish is head and shoulders above the 996. Both cars had full leather optioned, but the 997 really looks terrific. Two-tone is a very nice touch as the steering wheel and dash would get pretty tired looking on the 996 (tan interior) and it breaks up the monotomy.

I will post some more thoughts on the differences when I have had a chance to drive the car a bit more.

They are currently selling a beige steering wheel with paddle shifters in the parts forum.
