It certainly looks good, OEM, and is easily reversible. When it stops raining, I'll try them out to see if it helps the buffeting. Without them, one MUST have both windows open, at least partially, otherwise it's unbearable.

UPDATE:

These work GREAT! With both windows down, there's zero buffeting and very little wind, even at triple-digit speeds (in Mexico). With only the drivers window down, there's no wind at all.

I give these a two Adam's Thumbs Up ;-)

PS I installed my GT4 shifter.. I never would have thought I'd say this, but I LOVE being an inch shorter!

Thank you for posting this! I also have a 2022 CGTS and your post confirms that door panel removal is not required.

No one forgot. He would have had to option Extended Deviated Stitching to get the boot done, and the steering wheel is also included.

Hey Bob, I optioned the extended deviated stitching and received the blue thread on my steering wheel but not the shift boot.

Interesting...I got Yellow on my boot, and as far as I can recall I did not have to select it separately. I did select a leather steering wheel and shift boot though.

That seems quite odd. Did you try reaching out to Porsche to ask? I’d be upset if that happened to me.

It was a joke implying that the someone who forgot was the OP who forgot to check the box.

I somehow never realized that this forum won't allow me to edit older posts. My intent of making a post here that would serve as my 'things to get' list and evolving it over time is not going to pan out.

List growing though:
  • Full ppf protection
  • rennline phone mount
  • T-Design9 memory module
  • blendmount for mirror radar detector install
  • An exhaust of some sort - will be using the summer to try to hear as many setups as I can find locally and decide from there. (For now, likely to be Soul SS OAP and rear section, though I fear hearing a JCR Inconel will make me bust out the credit card)
  • p1 designs inserts (Pending if I stay with buckets or not, otherwise they'd be ordered already)
  • 992 GT3 yellow pattern 6MT shift **** (again, pending bucket/interior spec final decisions)
  • edguard protectors (same conditional pending)
  • grille inserts
  • Clear front marker lights
  • Porsche lettering for wing/4.0 endplates
  • frunk and trunk liners
  • frunk lid protector (I'm sure I've seen this here, but can't find it now. something I believe intended to protect the aluminum panel in the event you had something too tall in the frunk - any ideas?)
  • ctek trickle charger (maybe the one from my current F80 lithium battery is interchangeable)
  • soft-sided luggage set
  • line up powdercoating of brake calipers
  • designsbyjacob front lift kit
  • AWE airfoil window deflectors

I didn’t because I didn’t realize it was included until now. I’ve had the car for ten months - I wonder if they would do anything about it.

I finally got around to installing my Numeric pedals! If you're frustrated with how hard it is to heel-toe in this car on the street, you'll want a set of these. Not as easy as my ND Miata was, but definitely better than without them. They also look great! I think Porsche designed the pedals for the heavy braking on a track, which makes it difficult to reach the throttle pedal under light braking. I'm working to master heel-toe shifting before I start playing with the auto-blip feature.

Well, you kind of paid for it. So I’d go ahead and ask. They should remedy this in my opinion.

Worst case Exclusive Option should be able to do it for you, but don’t know if stitching will be 100% match.
