It's finally here!

I just picked up my 987S last Friday. Here are a couple quick pics. It has to be one of the last '05 ordered cars in the U.S. And seal/sand is pretty rare in these parts.

Thanks to those of you who provided moral support during the long wait. And special thanks to wtsnet, whose gallery kept me going during the last couple months.

How about a picture of the dash?

I would like to see if the sand goes better with the silver plastic.

I ALMOST wish I picked Sand instead of Black for the interior of my Seal Gray. THat's not the first time I've seen that color combo and damn, it looks good.

Congrads. Great combo.

.....I still can't figger why the auto companies continue to offer leather that looks like viynl? Look at any of the vintage cars of quality and the leather interiors stand alone for their texture and coloring. Maybe it's because they think that all the other plastic has to look like the seats - and since it cannot, if the seats looked like saddle leather: so make the seats look like the plastic dashboard instead?

Enjoy your ride.

Seal Grey and Sea Blue

I can't see your pics (red X's) but I ordered my '06 Boxster S with Seal Grey with Sea Blue interior (blue top). The car is "onvessel" after a 7/1 build slot so I hope to see it soon.

I'm on the east coast so hopefully it arrives a little quicker than the left coast cars. Anyone know how long it takes to move from "onvessel" status to the east coast?

If it helps, my car moved from on vessel to Springfield, IL in 4 days. I would imagine yours will be quick. The thing that took the longest was getting the dealership to hurry up and get it prepped so they would give it to me.
