What a freaking fun place to hang out...
Where else can we spend Stradale's and everyone else's money on configuring the next great machine! Love it.
I think we ought to put Jason in business and just let him spec out everyone's car. He's got the options down to a science (note earlier posts with pics), and he's got great taste.
Jason - the carbon was drop dead gorgeous when we finished it, but even moreso on your stunning TT.
Stradale, and others - we do paint the seatbacks after the fact too, just in case you tire of volcano gray.
Anyway, this is just great stuff - Stradale that is one awesome TT Cab you have spec'd. Good luck with the wait.

Yep, that's right, when you get the leather seatbacks, the entire lower section is painted in the aluminum-look color.
Here's a picture I took of Larry's seats
You can see that the lower section is painted aluminum-look

That's it then, I'm sold on the leather seatbacks..
You know we won't stop until you reach $180k
Seriously the leather back seats are gorgeous.

Ok. What you do is start off and put 200K in an escrow account. Spec the car, add it up and get change back. just like at McDonald's

Last car I specced (the AM), we went:
Dealer: OK, what options do we add?
Us: Well let's put them all and delete what we don't need
Much easier that way...

Funny arithmetic of P options....generally worth $0 at trade-in....but w/o these innumerable PCCB/leather, cf, etc options, a 997TT looks about as grisly/plasticky as any Coxster/Gayman/Camry....
Traded-in two $150K 996TTS Coupes for $100K (each w/5K mis and 6-12mos of use)...
Traded-in two $150K 997TT Coupes for near-100% of MSRP, each after 3K mis...but within 6mos of US launch...
599 (no matter options/airshipping) trades-in for 100% of MSRP (incl airship) after 5K mis and 6mos of use....clearly the frugal man's car (if one values own personal safety at $0)....

I have the seatbelts in leather ... not noticeable at all in black. The other wasted leather was the bose surround in the back seat area. The only way to notice these 2 items is if you have a non black leather interior. Then the matching color may be worth it.
The fuse box cover and other small leather areas were worth it due to the extra stitching, which adds another layer of quality enhancement.
As an aside, I heard of a Porsche afficionado state that I went to the expense of lightening the weight of the car using carbon fibre then added weight with all the extra leather ... too funny! If I really wanted to reduce weight in the vehicle I would take up an extreme exercise routine and enjoy fewer gourmet meals !!! ... unfortunately, that would reduce my life pleasures !

Use to feel that way when I'd go to Montréal & Toronto on business in the late 90's... Put down $10 US on the bar & get your beer plus $12 CAN change......

Very happy that your car turned out well. Can't wait to see the end result of a rather comprehensively optioned out car! Please post the new pro forma with the latest changes if possible.
