Thank you all for the kind words, much appreciated!
Regarding the recommendations for clear side markers and radiator grilles, I did that a bit ago as well.
Also did full PPF and 50% tint all around except for the windshield. These are photos from this week...

I'm a little bummed when I ordered I was told aventurine green was discontinued, only to become available again a couple weeks after I locked. Gentian is good though and goes with espresso nicely

After seeing the pictures I placed an order for the Green and Truffle brown I placed an order.
Will see if they get any 2024 allocations - they don't have the allocations yet.

I am picking up my CGTS at PECLA in late December and driving it back home to NorCal so it won't be as epic a trip as yours, but still want to protect it. How did the track wrap hold up for you and do you have recommendations on what to cover? It looks like you covered the nose, side-skirts, and rear right behind the tires, anywhere else?

Meant to do this sooner, but finally getting around to posting photos from the PEC Atlanta delivery and the journey home...
Picked up the car on Thursday, May 4th and headed home to Philadelphia via the most fun and scenic roads we could find. Cannot speak highly enough about the PEC experience... Truly topnotch!
From Atlanta we headed to Chattanooga, TN to visit some friends for a couple days and then over to Asheville, NC via Tail of the Dragon. After spending a couple nights there, we headed up the Blue Ridge Parkway to Charlottesville, VA for a night. Then we did Skyline Drive to Washington, DC for another couple of nights to see friends and for some work. Last stop was to visit my dad in Annapolis and then drove over the Bay Bridge and up the Eastern Shore of Maryland back home.
One of the highlights was spotting an Aventurine Green Boxster GTS 4.0 on Skyline Drive. We were headed opposed directions but happened to pull into the same overlook. Had a nice chat with the owner Bob from North Dakota and snapped some photos.
As soon as I got home, I peeled off the track wrap and had a detail session with Boxking and his GT4. A great ending to what was my most memorable and fun road trip to date!

The only areas I covered that you didn't mention were the A pillars, a stripe along the roof where it meets the top of the windshield, and the side view mirrors.
The wrap held up fairly well everywhere except the side view mirrors. Because of their shape, it came loose an was flapping so I just peeled it off about halfway through the trip. Otherwise really glad I did it and it gave me peace of mind until I could get the full PPF done.

Still waiting for an allocation will know in December or January for the 2014 1st quarter allocations. Is there a big difference in price with getting the dealer to wrap it ?
