Default Looking for Pics of Midnight Blue 997 Turbo

I've tried searching and can only find pics of the 997 CS or C4S and I want to see pics of the turbo. Do you have some pics you can share with me? I've ordered a 997t midnight blue on sand beige that builds later this month with a late April delivery as follows:

- adaptive sports seats
- sycamore wood pkg
- sport chrono pkg
- heated seats
- locking rear-axel differential
- stainless steel illuminated door entry scuff plates
- 3m clearbra
- porsche floormats

I tried and managed to keep it under $130K USD ... whaddayathink?

If you are on the West Coast, I'd recommend Premier to do the clear bra using Venture Film, rather than the 3M. There are a million threads on the forum endorsing Premier, just use the search function, key word: Premier.

As far as the option go, it is strictly personal. You appear to have the essentials. You mention the wood package, but there are a several, if you haven't gone to the Porsche website, I'd recommend using the configurator and try out the different wood packages and then buy the combinations that suit your tastes. I have every carbon fiber package they offer on my car, including the steering wheel. At first I thought it may have been overboard, but combined with the full leather, it looks clean and uncluttered. I think either of the woods are beautiful and will look outstanding with Midnight Blue.

You may also want to explore the multi-function steering wheel, phone module and the sport shifter. These options are relatively inexpensive and are nice additions.

Once you're in for $130K, what's another $5-10K to get the car exactly the way you like it? Good luck and keep us posted!
