Nice clean build, should be great!

One thing to think about,.....did you know you could get all black face gauges for free?

Wow, thank you all for the great comments. I didn't go with full leather to stay within my budget and wasn't so concerned given that it is an all black interior.

I wondered about the going with all black gauges but decided to leave the tach gray.

Does anyone else have any suggestions on this?

Thanks,

Dean

I love your configuration. You will enjoy the ride. Mine will be white with black interior. I went for the sport design package and PDK. I would love to have had the manual transmission, but my left knee is so bad that I thought I would never ever fit comfortably in the 911. The redesigned 991 placed one the biggest smile on my face.

And here it is!

I just got my new 2013 C2S on Friday evening. It was delivered by an enclosed auto carrier and everything was perfect. I was fortunate enough to have great weather on Saturday, the temperature was just below freezing but the skies were clear. The dealer had done a great job getteing her ready. I popped in the clear side markers that I got from Suncoast and I was ready to go.

What can I say, it is a visceral experience driving this car in Sport or Sport Plus mode. Nice and tame in normal mode. I worried that keeping the RPM under 4300 was going to be tough during the breaking in period. I suspect it will be but for now 4000 rpm is not so bad! The PSE, SPASM, 7speed Manual Transmission, Sport Chrono Package, Sport Plus seats and Sport Steering wheel make it a great car. I love the Platinum Silver, the third picture is the best representation of the color, and the 20 inch wheels.

Here she is in all of her glory!

Your car looks awesome ! I'm stuck in the waiting period for my build that you went through. Do you think you will tint the windows? I'm really torn on this decision myself, anyway you have a very nice looking car!

Your new ride looks beautiful!
More pics please.



edit...
Just noticed you've got the stock Pirelli's on there... just a heads-up, those become real slippery below 5 degrees Cecilius.
Since you're probably at -5 to -10 right now I'd be very, very careful, seriously that's dangerous stuff.
