Default What did you buy your 718 today

I stumbled over this in the 991 forum, thought it was a great idea. I'm about 30 days into the ownership and have done the following:

Xpel Ultimate (front bumper, hood, side mirrors, rocker panels, and behind rear wheels)
Opti Coat Pro Plus
Ultimate Cup Holders
Porsche Sun Shade

Hey Matt, does the LidLiner on the Frunk do anything besides protect the painted surface? Sound deadening? Just curious?

I think it just protects the surface. Its well made and went on easily. I'm happy I have it just as a bit of insurance.

They work great, and are super easy to install and remove. They require absolutely no modification or alteration to your vehicle. They're available in stainless with black lining and stainless with light gray lining. Highly recommend them.

Sorry for the dirty car mat pictures, haven't detailed in two weeks.

- M/T Short Shifter Kit

Getting both installed by the dealer when the car is delivered in 2 weeks.

I've had the car 2 weeks but here's what I've done:

Xpel Ultimate
CarPro CQuartz
Ceramic Tint
SmartTop
Rennline Phone Mount
Platypus license plate bracket
Clear side markers

I just bought an AL Priority radar/laser system and a BlackVue DR900S-2CH dashcam that I need to have installed and just placed an order for two Ultimate Cup Holders. I'm also thinking about the T-Design memory module.

Hi All,

I'm planning to place my order for a 2019 718 Cayman next week.

I've already lined up some HRE R101 wheels (19x8.5 ET50 fronts and 19x10.5 ET40 rears) in gloss black.

I will be leasing for 3 years, and my driving is either city commuting or autocross in San Diego. So it will not be driven on a lot of back roads or in bad weather.

With that in mind, is the Xpel really worth it?

Cheers,

John

I bought Ultimate Cup Holders. I'm far from impressed. They slide forward way too easily. They're better than nothing but I'd still like something better.
