Nice build. The interior will pop with all of the deviated stitching. Well done!

worldattorney

Thank you eg991 ....was on the fence about the leather steering column cover with deviated stitching but then decided I had enough...especially since the steering wheel/dash will have it

I compliment you on your choice of exterior color.

Did you end up having to 'buy out' an ED slot or did you find one through normal channels?

Just remember , best time to run on Autobahnis is early Sunday morning!

worldattorney

worf928: I was able to get one through normal channels with the hard work of the Penske Porsche GM

Karl911: I think for the first 3 days or so I will be out there 20hrs/day and will find some low-traffic situations....actually some traffic would be good for the first 500 miles or so to make sure I dont get tempted to cheat on recommended break-in...

Congrats! It's gonna be a long summer though!

FBA

I ordered mine in March, and am just getting her next week...been a very long wait, so I feel your pain! LOL. It's the same colour as yours in fact!

worldattorney

I was on the completely-uncertain-to-ever-get-one GT4 list then went with the TTS...so knowing I'm 90 days out is totally fine...the praying/hoping that they will get to #14 just wasn't working for me..

FBA congrats on the car

Great build. I love deviated stitching. Just so you don't regret it later, the three items available with deviated stitching you did not get. One you mentioned is the Steering Column in Leather (XNS - $465.00) Stitching (90027 - $80.00). The others are Rear Section of Center Tunnel in Leather (XHS - $1,190.00) Stitching (90003 - $80.00) & Inner Door Sill Guards in Leather (XTG - $1,190.00) Stitching (90051 - $80.00).

From my car, center column, center column again, rear section of console & Sill Guards.

Congratulations - looking forward to your reports!

hduffy...BEAUTIFUL car! I would need a few more than 3 more to get to yours (+ extended interior package-dashboard trim in leather, air vents in leather, floor mats w/ deviated stitching-what option are they?)

I really like the look of a 'clean' and smooth center compartment cover so I skipped the rear section leather/stitching. As to the inner sills in leather/stitching my thought was that the light pebble gray thread is going to get dirty from the foot traffic...probably the fear in unwarranted...


thx for the input
