Good going Jim and welcome aboard! I especially love the black!

I was wondering. Can you please tell me what the circular decal to the right of the ignition switch is for?

I have that on mine too Andy. It says something to the fact of the vehicle having a top speed of 155 MPH.

I feel cheated. My sticker limits me to only 150 mph!

Doesn't the sticker relate to m+s tires having a limit of 150mph?

I think it is put on all P!gs delivered new with all seasons.

Yes. has nothing to do with the vehicles capability, just the all season tires. That sticker is a bear to get off, I still haven't gotten mine off.

Congrats on the new PEPPER (not a P!g)!

Loving your two tone interior. Congratulations on a great find. I am a big fan of natural leather as it wears very well over time. Well worth the premium price for someone who is planning to custom order one especially if they are planning to hold onto their vehicle for quite sometime.

I have the same car, but in white and 21 inch tires. I actually traded in my 05 911 for it. Never looked back or regretted it. I really like it and I have had it for almost two and a half years and 30 k miles. My back feels better as well Fortunately I had an 86 targa in the stable for "those" days. But I just sold it so may need something new for a change up, but daily driver, sun and wet, the pepper is unreal. Enjoy! By the way, if you are a big guy like me, you can have those seat supports trimmed and softened. Cost me 400 bucks, but well worth it for my 220 lb. frame.

I'm at 205 and my lower back is killing me with these sport seat bolsters!! My wife also complains at 120 lbs! I've tried moving the adjustable lower center support outwards to reduce the 'arc' effect but it's still too tight. I can only imagine how this winter will be with a leather coat on!

Are the GTS seats and the 'S'-seats identical?

andy
the bolsters are foam, the leather seat basically unzips and the foam can be cut off and replaced with nice soft foam. best move i made. you just have to be careful with the seat heating element. any leather mending auto shop can do it.
