Yep, that's it. One of the (only) benefits of waiting so long for a car is I got to really understand the options and think about what I wanted. This piece is a pain in the *** to get if you want it after the fact.

I think my wife would have preferred if I looked at some **** rather than all the time I spent looking at pictures of TT's LOL!
Chris,
Very very nice. Is the piece just in front of the shifter boot code CDZ "Leather Gear Lever Trim"? It looks nice with the rest of the leather and seems to make it all flow together.

Chris,
I like that idea and for sure it will be on my order for a MY08 c2s. Your looks just perfect and very well thought out.

Chris,
I see you got the XMZ Leather Rear Center Console and it looks like the storage bin lid is also covered in leather? Can you show pics of that next time you are taking more of the interior please.
Is it correct that XMZ includes the following?
XMZ Leather Rear Center Console
Includes interior-colored leather-trimmed rear section of center console, switch trim, handbrake finisher and lid of storage bin with decorative seam

Chris and I have very similar cars (what can I say, the guy has good taste). Here the CF console in my car:
This is the rear portion:
Here is an overhead of the front portion of the console:
Here is the "CF door finisher" option:

Thanks Chris.

I ordered the rear center console in leather without logo. With logo would have been extra $, and I just did not see the point. Likewise the crest in the head restraints that I passed on. I mean, don't we already know it's a Porsche?

Thanks Chris.
Thanks Chris.

I'm wanting to get the leather covered console and logo-less leather covered lid too, and it seems some of the dealers are unsure about these things and not always willing to do much research to get a definitive answer as to whether or not something is in fact offered as an option.
Thanks to you & Chris (E55AMG) for all the feedback.

TH, you are right. My order sheet says
XMZ Leather Rear Center Console
CPT Leather Storage Bin Lid w/Porsche Crest
As I recall, the salesman said I could have the Leather Storage Bin Lid, but I had to choose either Porsche Crest or Turbo Logo. Without either was not an option.

Chris,
Beautiful car!! Esp with the PCCB - nice color combo. Your interior is really nice. Great job coordinating the CF and extra leather. Real cool.
I also noted that the black is almost like a dark gray. I finally got around to "feeding" the leather with some Lexol, and it darkened up quite a bit. After another tratment or two, I think it will be very close to the pitch black of my earlier car.
I'd like to hear your FS sometime. Maybe this summer we'll do a little drive with some of the other NY/NJ crowd. Like I said before, the Sawmill Pky seems like its made for the TT, as long as there's no radar!
Enjoy the car. I hope it's all you wanted it to be.
