The car looks awesome. I drove one recently with that same color and interior and really liked it. Only difference was he had black wheels. Welcome to the club.

Wow nice looking car. Speed yellow is a great color and allows knowing where your car is in the dark driving or looking for it in the parking lot. My MGB from teenage days was speed yellow. Looks great and livens things up.

Thanks everyone. Still can't quite believe it is sitting in my garage. It might sound cheesy, but this has been a dream since I was a kid. First it was the 944, and now something slightly different. Great to be back in a Porsche.

Anyways, here are a couple pictures of the interior.

Options:

Litronic headlights
Full supple leather interior with yellow deviated stitching
Yellow seat belts
3 spoke steering wheel
18" turbo look wheels with painted crests
SY paint
Premium sound

Congrats! Nothing like getting your dream car!

Love the interior offset with yellow stitching, very cool! I would lose the amber turn signals pronto though!
