Lordblood, still a 997...always a 911.

Other Porsche car Forums refer to them as following:

997-1 Series (MY2005-MY2008)
997-2 Series (MY2009-)

The best option I have seen is the new vented leather seats. Only $800. I would gladly spend this much just for the driver's seat.

One other thing, Porsche increased (due to EU laws) the size of the exterior side mirrors. They look too big IMHO on a car that small and sleek. They would be better suited for an SUV.

Yeah, they look like Shrek ears! Btw, is it me, or do the pictures look like they need to be resized?! Dang!

I would expect that we will be seeing these larger mirrors on the Boxster too.

Blink, these are the LED's. I like 'em. They serve the funtion as DRL's too. Good for safety and visibility.
