After 20 years of 944 ownership I just purchased my first 996. It is a Dark Blue Aero Kit with grey interior. Once I have a chance I will post some better pics. I've not had the best results looking for the option code translation, so if anyone could help I will be very thankful. Thanks 996 Owners,

XAA = factory aero kit, so you've got that go in' for you. Nice looking car. Aero kit is the best option, IMHO.
Thanks, I think the Aero kit really completes the look of the 996.
Those wheels look great on the MkI also. Someday I'll like to find a used set for mine and turn my twists into winter wheels. Do you still have your 944? Was it a base 944 or something else?
It was a 944s2 that I sold to a Rennlist member in Missouri. Loved that car, but felt it was time to sell and move to a more modern Porsche.
Congrats! I just looked at the almost same car last week, but it has the brown interior......I always love decoding the sticker, here's yours: C02 Equipped with Catalytic Converter XAA GT3-look aerokit XRB 18" SportClassic 2-piece wheels XSC Porsche crest embossed in headrests X97 Gear lever **** with aluminium inlay X98 Handbrake lever with aluminium inlay 236 Internal production code related to tyres 425 Rear window wiper 436 3-spoke steering wheel 437 8-way electrical seat, left 438 8-way electrical seat, right 490 Sound system 537 Seat memory, left 692 CD changer 939 Draped leather rear seats 982 Draped leather front seats 09991 manufacture from the exclusive-programme

gotcha, OP did get one with a grey interior.
Very nice aero, congrats and welcome to the 996 forum.
Great looking car. What does "9991 manufacture from the exclusive-programme " refer to?

I believe that means that the car was ordered by the customer, he could pick anything he wanted and the order is sent to Germany to be filled. The options were not just picked by the factory and sent to the US to be sold.

My bad, im getting old. Too bad, brown would've been a great combo.
Savanagh Beige interior was my first choice, but my wife said it looked like mustard. I thought the grey interior was a good compromise. I spent yesterday afternoon and most of today driving around. I need to do a little hands on investigation, it sounds like it has a sport exhaust and feels like the sport suspension but the option codes don't support that. The car sure handles quicker and accelerates much faster than my 944s2. I'm looking forward to getting out on the track next spring.
