That Aventurine Green is absolutely gorgeous. A GTS in that exact color would have been my fallback choice had I not been able to get a GT4 allocation.

I love the Aventurine Green! I wish it was a GT4 option. Also, it would be really cool to have that color as a stitching option. Very nice spec, @gallucho !

Yes if it was a GT4 option (without PTS) I would have 100% chosen it instead of Python Green.

I have pretty much given up on TDY for any accuracy in delivery for planning purposes such as scheduling PPF, etc. I live 150 mile round trip from the dealer. My S/A sent me a PSVMS screenshot this morning and I think I will use that as a guide. TDY is sort of weird, my freeze date changed 3 times-no problem as I had the build locked down. Then it said my Boxster went from in production to shipped to Emden in like 2 days, gave me a VIN but no production shots-tried both methods of getting into the system to find photos that a couple of kind souls posted here but no luck. It was supposed to be on the boat last Friday for delivery to the dealer at the beginning of November. This morning it says the car will not be loaded until mid-November and delivery in mid-December. No reason given for the delay-no boats; parts not available, dock strike-who knows? Not crazy about it sitting in the yard at Emden for 40 more days but at least when it gets here the colors of Aventurine Green with the red calipers will match the season!

Pat, I remember some guy(s) saying they didn't get pictures of their build until about a week or two after it sailed. Maybe it will be the same for you. Not sure why that would happen (I would assume either they would be uploaded when they were taken or they would never be), but Porsche is in strange times.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah, all is well here. I was away for a while starting my own e-commerce business. That and my 14-month-old kept me quite busy. Thanks for checking in. I hope everything is well on your side of the states.

It's been over a year and a half and one destroyed car, but I have finally left the waiting room. Didn't waste any time installing clear side markers and titanium lugs.



Off to do some more driving!

How did you do it? Is there another method that will allow you to get in. Neither of the methods posted here have worked for me I got the VIN but no joy on the photos
Thanks,
Pat

Looks great, where did you get the lugs?

from previous members it seems to be a "luck of the draw" @patdonahue ; i used the methods that folks on here have done in the past (hitting f12 on the overview page after you reach stage 3)

i think the key here is that your car must be in Stage 3. My car JUST hit this stage an hour ago and i was given photos of my car on the line.
