Very nice! Congratulations and welcome to the "club"! Swap out the orange side lights and the car would be perfect. Envy those adaptive sport seats too! Enjoy.

Congrats! We're almost due west of you in the Highlands neighborhood of unincorporated San Mateo County. Just after Christmas we picked up a very similar vehicle, 2011 Carrera S CPO, with key differences being (I'm not going to list them all):

-Cabriolet
-Black exterior
-6-speed manual
-Driver's steering wheel with zero buttons, *****, or paddles
-Bose stereo
-Standard perforated seats

Only mod so far has been Carrera S floor mats from Lloyds. Clear corners are on order, and I can't convince my wife to consider a DCS Motorsports padded steering wheel (I don't like this stock one; my wife's previous S4 Cab had the best wheel we've ever gripped) or Sharkwerks center muffler delete X-pipes -- she already thinks the car is plenty loud as she hears like a bloodhound and I hear like an old hound.

But overall, super super pleased with the car -- performance, looks, build quality and of course that "cool factor" very few other vehicles offer.

RobC4sX51, good call. I've got those ordered already and on their way from Suncoast Can't wait to put the clear side lights. Forgot to mention, car is a manual with Bose.

Congrats! One of the finer examples of the 997. Full leather and adaptive seats are killer options. Nicely done.
