This just in....
Still with the silly delivery wrapping. Will send more pics once it's out of the box.
And pls be gentle, this is clearly not a DD colour and from my understanding one of the least popular PTS colours - but the wife picked it and based on my experience the wife is ALWAYS right! 😋
it's gonna be my dedicated track car as I learn how go around a track until my next track car comes in in a couple of years. And did I mention it's manual! 😉

^The biggest mistake I made when I ordered my GT3 was the Keys in the exterior paint. Even being careful I had a bunch of chips in 6 months. I know it is inexpensive but it drove me crazy

Here's a pic of the 2 key blades on my keys I got from them:
the red is a perfect match to the red accents I have in the interior of the 991 turbo. The green one is pretty darn close to mint green GT4 - but again that was a PTS and tough to get perfect unless OEM supplier was supplying the blade.
Point is - keys blades get dropped and scratched - regardless if OEM. Going China just made me less concerned about babying a bunch of keys since the blades are way less than 1/3 the price. Also at resale- I just substitute back the boring black ones - not like anybody will want a pair of scratched up and beat up key blades - even if OEM.

Since we're talking about key covers; there's a glitch on Porsche's (canada) website stating the pricing advertised was for 2 sets of keys (ie 4 covers). So I took advantage of that misinformation (playing dumb to the parts dept of course)... And was basically given the second set "as advertised".
Just thought I'd pass it along

You want a PERFECT key that doesn't scratch easily and has perfect fitment - I'd stick with the boring black OEM one that comes standard on all recent P cars.

And, does scarcity in numbers and color add to excitement/desire in a car? Obviously - and especially if it's a GT4!
Questionable....LOL...
