@SpyderSenseOC Beautiful spec! PCCB with black calipers are rarely done. Classy. Since I've been drooling over a bunch of these crane photos I have noticed how cars without PCCBs look like they skipped the automotive equivalent of leg day. Does the photos show up in the "Phase" part of the TYD or the time line? I'm assuming I'll see them when it goes to phase 3, your car has been produced. Even though I'm V300 it still shows I'm on phase 1.
I wondered that, too, but CP8.0 on TYD hasn't budged. Which we know means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! lol Maybe they need a few extra days to verify the builds due to the new suppliers. As long as I / we make the April 8 boat headed to Houston!!! Others reporting shipping delays makes me wonder. But you would think that would be reflected in the expected shipping date, if they were going to slip.
Who knows.
Checked this morning and I’m at “Ready For Transport”. Woohoo!
Looks like we'll be on the same boat then. My delivery date is 5/27 in Vegas which was originally 5/13 up until about 2 weeks ago when it changed. My car's color is Black Olive. There is a NATO Olive in the PTS color thread which is really close but they are two different color codes. As far as I can tell from internet photos NATO is on the yellow side of the spectrum while Black Olive is on the bluer side.
My long wait finally ended yesterday.
Deposit placed 10/31/20. Allocation received 11/4/21. Production complete 1/25/22. Delivery 3/29/22. It was well worth the wait!

Yes, photos showed up in the "Discover Your Phase" section of the TYD site about 4 days after it said I reached CP8. Kind of clunky how it works. You've gotta look for them. At first all I saw was the profile image that most people post. It wasn't until later that I navigated a bit further (discovered my phase) and found the other images.
As for the PCCB's, thank you. I honestly prefer the look of the yellow calipers. But the Aurum wheels were top priority for me and the yellow would have gotten lost amongst the bronze, I thought. So, black PCCB's it is. Not many out there that way. I think they look good. But they don't scream "hey, I'm carbon ceramic brakes" like the yellows do. And further, with my Carrara White 981 Spyder I had the factory platinum wheels AND a set of black GT4 wheels that I could swap back and forth if I wanted a different look, and both looked great with the yellow calipers. If I get a set of additional black wheels for this 718 (they'd be OEM 982 Spyder wheels) they won't get the benefit of the yellow calipers to set them off. Oh well. First world problems.

Checked again and now it’s en route to Emden. All of a sudden things are moving crazy fast 🤣. Just have to remember I still have to hang in there for a longgggg boat ride.

The wheels are superb and refreshing. Congratulations, she’s a beaut.

Pushing the LIKE button doesn't do this beauty justice. Need a Love It button.
Love the contrast from the stitching, door pulls, and steering wheel center position stripe.
Not that I'm partial in any way --- being our specs (and region) are pretty darn close to each other.
Perhaps I'll see you at a Riesentoter PCA function one day soon.
My SB GT4 is scheduled for April 8 arrival Port of Balt, then perhaps within two weeks your GT4's fraternal twin will be out there with you!

Not to be a wet blanket but things at the port are not moving along as quickly as you might like. I've been there since March 21st and my dates just got pushed back by two weeks. I'm likely not getting on the boat that's sitting in Emden right now (Grand Legacy) and headed for the west coast, and I'm hoping beyond hope that I do get on the next one (Glovis Supreme).
But the bottom line is that I made it into production by the skin of my teeth (according to that widely circulated memo) and I'm happy my car is built and built according to my spec. Didn't have to delete anything. And I guess an additional two weeks to sell my C8 isn't such a bad thing. They ain't flying off the shelves like the interweb might lead you to believe they are.

In the spirit of drooling over dream paint jobs...this showed up on Insta. I think it is Porsche Racing Green...? Man, if had a PTS order and an extra $40k for CXX... lol

Beautiful to be sure. But I'll take that Olive Green shown several posts above all day long. That or Brewster.
