GT Silver always look good on a Porsche, but I wanted to try something completely different than any color I've ever had on car. I like the blue hue of Vanadium when the light hits it just right. At least based on photos.

it could be longer. From allocation to delivery I’m going on 6 months. My car is at the port right now but it’s been a long time. Hopefully it won’t be as long for you but 3 months seems a bit….optimistic.

Congrats!!! For some reason these cars look great with their protective wraps on to me. Will you take the wrapping off or let the dealer do it?

Congrats, that is one good looking CGTS! I really like the Aurum wheels on the Aventurine Green, looks spectacular.

Must show more pics to include interior when you pick it up.

Even better, with the protective shipping wrap on it, I thought it was a Cayman lol. I wish we had California's climate here. I too ordered a BGTS, I love driving with the top down.

That's great. Congrats. I'd tell them to leave the interior alone, so you can save the seat covers for service visits, state inspections (if required), etc. And to avoid scratches from dealer personnel driving it. Hope you can enjoy it very soon.

Finally picked ours up today.

Our dealer always makes a big production out of the reveal. Flowers for her and swag bucks to spend in the Porsche boutique were a nice touch.

Looks great in the flesh and drives as a Porsche should - very happy with it!

Thats so cool, i kinda hope my dealership makes a big deal out of delivery day for me. I feel like when dealerships do that it really puts the cherry on top of a fantastic day.

I have my PPF scheduled. Dropoff is Saturday so i'll get to spend a day with my new car at least. They said it'll take about a week so i'll be picking up the car Labor Day Weekend. Which will be perfect time to go out for a drive!

Does PPF usually take a week to do?
