2009 White 997TT Coupe (BWW - lots of photos)
I obviously do not possess any photography skills so I just washed the car and pulled it into the street to snap photos.
I just want to say thanks to the following people who really helped me out along the way:
I still need to swap over the Poggipolini bolts – the driver was forgotten and just arrived a few minutes ago. I really like how the wheels turned out. I ordered black wheel weights and had the valve stems painted black for the “finished” look.
I just want to say thanks to the following people who really helped me out along the way:
- Atomic80 (Jason), The Groom and many others for helping me make sure the specs were just right.
- Eric the Plug Guy for the black Turbo logo and all the information he posted while we were all waiting for our 2009 cars.
- Ric at Suncoast Porsche for the side markers, tail lights, Das Shild, floor mats, and all that other stuff I ordered from him.
- Stradale for providing the inspiration for my wheels.
- Dave, Alan and the rest of the guys at Wheel Enhancement for putting together my Champion RS171 wheels and going way above and beyond to provide amazing customer support and service.
- Valerio at Poggipolini for my wheel bolts (not yet installed).
- Damon at TireRack for my winter tires and miscellaneous other stuff.
- Moe at Glistening Perfection for the great wash and detail products, including the Airmax dryer and water de-ionizer.
- Alex at SharkWerks for all of the free advice, the upcoming mods, and for being a very cool guy.
- Nancy at Niello Porsche for taking care of my order and putting up with my OCD.
- Anyone and everyone else who have helped me along the way.

Thanks! I skipped the yellow belts because this is going to be a daily driver and many have said the yellow belts do not wear well. Also, I did not want to draw atttention to a piece of safety equipment. They do look good though and I added/subtracted them a few times before my final specs were in.

if you want my shifter without deviated stitching you order:
- CDZ -Gear Lever Trim Leather ($250)
- DAD - Gear Lever/Handbrake in Aluminum and Leather ($1,555)
if you want my shifter with deviated stitching you order:
So is it $2130+$290 or $2130+ part of $290 or $2130+$290-$1,555-$250??? Basically, it just costs way too much.
- DAW - Gear Lever and Handbrake Lever Aluminum/Leather ($2,130)
- 09991 - All Exclusive Options with Deviating Stitching (also covers other items) ($290)

Crap! That is a lot of leather, but very cool.
You have some leather pieces that I knew were available but never saw anyone actually get--fuse box cover, sill covers, etc. They look great. Just make sure you lift your foot when getting out--a few passengers of mine have scuffed up my plastic sill covers already......they are no longer my friends.

Thanks for all of kind the comments.
It is not standard - I ordered the Das Shild from Suncoast.
Door finishers in black was the only option. I was a little disappointed I could not get the door finishers in leather but it turned out great anyway. My order was pulled pretty early, so it my be an option again now.
