P74 Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package
810 Floor Mats - Interior Color
XSC Porsche Crest in Headrest

Very nice, your going to like your ride.

Thanks for the pics,,,,
I see you ordered mats as I did.
I see the drivers side mat upside down in the passenger footwell, factory installed, just as I recieved my car and as well there was a set in the trunk that the port put in the car.
Perhaps you will get 2 for 1 as I did.

Hopefully you will escape the "fueling issue"....if the gage won't go completely to "F" upon fueling, not an anomaly, but a problem. Just a potential heads-up.

Enjoy the drive

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. The option that was set from the beginning was Cobalt. It looks great and should really shine in the Florida sun.

Finn: I would love to come up to Sebring for the 48hrs. It will totally depend on my call schedule (I do have to pay for this somehow)

Marv: I bought the car from Reeve's Porsche in Tampa. I actually live on the east coast above West Palm Beach. The experience with Reeve's has been phenomenal . My salesman, Scott Boyd, has been incredibly helpful through the whole process. I can not be more happy with them. Especially in light of the responses I received from the east coast dealers when I was looking for an allocation.

Speaking of, Scott sent me more pictures, cleaned up, in the showroom:

Tell them not to let anyone sit in it in the showroom! Keep that thing locked up.
