The window decal is a must, it looks so good. The red decals look nice with the calipers. I guess you could black out the rear Porsche logo, but I like it, and I left it on my CGTS40 but deleted the bumper badge. I dislike bumper badges, but like decals, in part because of the dirt badges collect on the rear. Also, the window decal and rear badge are pretty far away from each other.

As for PPF, I prefer to film over badges for easier cleaning and to protect the badges. On my striped cars like my Shelby, where the vinyl is thick, there is a slight are bubble, but it's perfectly symmetrical making it virtually invisible to the eye. On my 911 with motorsport stripe down the hood there was no air pocket at all.

Beautiful car spec, BTW.

I've shared track time with GT4RS, GT3 and other "real performance sports cars" and received point byes by many... I've got about 30,000 track miles under my belt over the past 20 years...

Since this is a picture thread here is another:
@BabyNSX is that the top of the MtnView or San Mateo garage? Looks so familiar...

Nope, but very close I work for a "large" tech company in Sunnyvale and this was taken at the top of one of their parking garages.

If my guess is correct, you work probably 5 mins away from where I live!

Paging any 718 owner who ordered a car that has the following:

- leather dash
- sport chrono clock
- deviated stitching in Speed Blue.

It can be any 718 variant (and only 718); and the stitching option could be either deviated stitching or extended deviated stitching.

Please reply back or send me a private message — thank you!

What are you asking for? Pics? A purchase? Questions about the ordering process?

Do you have or have you had such a car? If yes, then I’d like to ask my question over private message for privacy reasons.

I had a shark blue Boxster base before, and it had the extended stiching. Any questions feel free to pm me
