    Hello all,
    The 355 arrived finally. I must say it is actually one of the cleanest I've ever seen. Kenneth, fellow Fchatter took care of the car before the mishap happened.
    I couldn’t hold it. I took her for a spin right away. I must say she is a porn star. She drives and screams beautiful. The interior is literally like new as it is spotless. No stickies other than the door handles which is really the only flaw.
    I took the entire interior out to see if there was any moisture underneath the carpet. It’s very dry which gave me some relief. It is also sticky. I am assuming that is from the carpet. Does it look right on the picture? I have never actually looked to see what it looks like underneath the carpet.
    Before you start calling BS and get all upset about it let me have you know that I have absolutely NO interest in selling the car. If you see this car for sale I am either dead or something has gone real wrong in my life (I have my finders crossed)
    Again, thank you Kenneth.
    I will post few more pics shortly..
    If you look closer the brownish spots are the sticky parts. I've got close ups below.

    It's from the insulation, which is stuck down with some sticky stuff.

    Congrats on finally finding a car. I was under the impression you would only settle for red, with black interior. Guess you cant have em all.

    Thank you,
    To tell you the truth when I bought this car I thought as long as the car is good who cares about the interior since I would almost for sure get carbon fiber seats for it. If I'm going to get the seat I could re-leather it all to be black/red. The dilemma now is the interior is so flawless I'm not sure if I can justify spending 10k for seats and re-leather. Even my wife was impressed with which was shocking since she always hated all my other cars.
    There are tan carbon fiber seats on ebay which I like but he won't go lower than $6500. I offered 5k and it was declined. For now I'm thinking it'll stay the way it is.

    I figured the sticky stuff was fine but thank you for the reassurance.

    Wish we could still order them from the factory. Unfortunate - just like finding perfect women, or them finding their perfect men, you can't ever find 10 out of 10 of your favorite characteristics...

    But with both at least you can get very close. :)

    Congrats.

    The car looks very nice. If the interior is that nice, I would leave it alone. Why spend money if you don't have to. Something usually comes along that will require it, unfortunately.

    Congratulations Seyhan! Guarantee you'll love driving the car no matter what color the interior ultimately is.

    Congrats on your new arrival, drive it for a while, enjoy the beautiful Blue Mountain roads then decide if you really want to exchange the seats.
