    Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Taking advantage of the brief dry spell earlier tonight I took some pictures of my newly cleaned Turbo out by the industrial area in Downtown Seattle. Unfortunately shortly afterwards, I was caught in a downspill. I managed to take the rest of the pictures in an underground parking garage elsewhere.

    Enjoy!

    Those outside shots are stunning Atomic Thanks.
    Did you put back your 'normal' back lights ?

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    damn!!! those GT3 wheels man make the Turbo a beast! awesome car!

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Good looking car ....

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Very nice pics. I especially like those quad tips over the Fabspeed ones which have alot of welding flash apparent in the insides

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Yep, I put the OEM lights back on. Decided that I liked the way it looks better than those red taillights.




    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    very nice

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Jason,
    Did you paint the the cement posts in your garage so they match your car?
    Wonderful car!

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    beautifull man...thanks

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Smart move sticking with the stock rear tail lights. Quick question, are the stock fog lights in front bright white to match the headlights or are they a bit yellow like the ones on the standard 997S? I purchased a set of HOEN bulbs all the way around (including the license plate lights)just to be sure. Also are the colored crests standard from the factory or did you swap them out for a different set? If they are colored crests all around from the factory then I won't swap the gold front hood crest out for a silver one.

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    gradyex,

    I got the 997TT from Hoen but that includes only the bulbs for the turn signal parking light pod, side markers, and highbeam bulbs (H8). I found out that the foglights uses H3 bulbs which I didn't get. I'm not sure if I"ll get it since I rarely use the fogs.

    The only gold crest that comes with the car are the ones on the steering wheel and on the hood. All the rest are optional. I chose not to put on the silver hood crest because it would've mismatched the crest on the steering wheel. I also ended up getting the gold crests for the wheel centers too.

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Wonderful photos - thanks very much for sharing them with us!

    Jason,

    For the original OEM wheel, colored (gold/red) center cap is available as an option? (I've only seen them in black.)

    If so, do you happen to know the option code (for colored cap) please?

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Yep, it's option code 446 - Wheel Caps with Colored Crest

    Some other interesting option codes I found too:

    447 - Inflatable Spare Tire
    XD9 - Rims and Caps - Exterior Color

    You've only seen them in black? With the OEM wheels, they usually come in chrome with a black stencil Porsche crest. I'm not sure how this will look with the OEM wheels since they're polished. Are those colored crests on polished caps? That's what I'd like to know.

    Mine are colored crests on painted caps.

    >>You've only seen them in black? With the OEM wheels, they usually come in chrome with a black stencil Porsche crest.

    That's what I meant, chrome with black stencil crest.

    I think 446 is only available for non turbo 997 models, where painted wheels available. For example: http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/porsche/911/100792708/options.html?action=1&x=123&y=20

    With model like the turbo, where the only available wheels are chrome, 446 is NOT available, or at least not listed.
    http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/porsche/911/100702449/options.html?action=1&x=96&y=10

    In other words, there is no such thing as a chrome center cap with colored crest. Am I not correct? Thanks.

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Can,

    I got that option code 446 from the Turbo ordering guide so I'm not sure what that means.

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Great photos. Too bad about that crack-like scratch in the middle of the hood.

    Re: Night time shots of my Cobalt blue 997TT

    Jason,

    Thank you. The info helps; I'll check w/ my dealer when the time comes.

    Really a great looking turbo. Enjoy it and have always a save ride. I like the rear dual "pipes" = AWFUL. I think if Porsche will reveal later a turbo S it maybe might look like yours.

    Do you have more pics of it? The "Gallery" still doesn't work.

    Have you seen this option in reality? I'd be curious which countries it will be delivered to. I assume a spare tire is mandatory in certain countries?
