As for "deviated carpet color", that simply means that a different color carpet is used then regular.

I would keep the 18 inch wheels for a change of pace.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I sold my 993 a couple of months back and have now picked up an '03 Speed Yellow 996! Really a nice upgrade for what I am looking for in a Porsche ( power, driving experience and comfort). I have been reading the posts on Rennlist and it has taught me a lot. Anyway, I just wanted to post a couple of pictures of my new car as is the custom. By way of options/upgrades they include:
Porsche Stability Management
Sport Seats w/Full Leather Int -
Xenon Headlamp Package
Graphite Full Leather
Lowered with H&R springs
Special Chassis Rigidly Tuned
Short shift kit
Flared Rocker Panels
Deviating carpet color
One question I do have is that I am considering putting on 17" wheels for daily driving. With this suspension and lowering, does anyone think that will create an issue?
Thanks,
Sundayrider
Appreciate the welcome. Looking at 17s primarily to smooth the ride out a bit. On the 996s with 17 inch wheels that I drove the ride to me was notably smoother then those with 18 inch wheels. I know the M030 suspension and lowering also have an effect to make it a bit harsher. My commute is relatively straight and there are numerous potholes, expansion joints, etc. so anything to smooth that out would we welcome. I would keep the 18 inch wheels for a change of pace.
I appreciate all the Welcomes! I wasn't looking for Speed Yellow but when I saw and drove this one I was hooked. I was surprised how much I liked the Grey interior with the yellow accents. It is deviated Grey (graphite Grey with Natural Grey carpets) so it has some nice contrasts. Now to put on the aluminum gauge rings, aluminum pedals... (and on and on)....
Congrates and welcome. There aren't any problems with 17" wheels on the car. I use 17" wheels in the winter with no problems at all. The smaller wheels do smooth the ride out a little, with negligible effects on handling in normal daily street driving.
Well your car is definitely a treat for all those that say they are sick of seeing black and silver Porsches. Great looking car. SY is not for everyone, but if you have the gutts it is a great look.
Your car looks fantastic! Love the yellow. Have you considered yellow seat belts? May add a nice touch as well.
Enjoy!!! (and stick with the 18s...look MUCH better).
Again, I appreciate all the welcomes! I really look forward to putting further personal touches on the car, including possibly the yellow seat belts. As for "deviated carpet color", that simply means that a different color carpet is used then regular. In my case the interior is graphite grey but the carpet sections of the car are the darker natural grey. May not show up well in the pictures, but I noticed it when I first saw it. I thought it provided some nice contrasts. As for the "special chassis rigidly tuned" that is Porsche options speak for the ROW M030 suspension upgrade.
Gregg - Sundaydriver already answered your Deviating Carpet question, but here is another example of it. I have Graphite Gray interior with Metropol Blue deviating carpet. see pic below. Sorry for the crappy pics.
Nice ride - I'm going to have to ponder that interior for a while, I don't know what to make of it. I would think in black it would be spectacular, but the gray would take some getting used to.
Car looks tight, though....
I too was a bit apprehensive about the grey interior based on the pictures but when I saw it in person, I really liked it. The dark grey carpets/headliner and black instruments/gauges and seat belts do help. Ultimately, it was how the car drove and the overall condition of the car which sold me on it.
Also, I decided to stick with the 18" wheels for now. Appreciate all the thoughts on that.
