Flipping new cars back to the dealer, for dealer profit and favours for new allocations is not new. All part of the games which makes the buying experience pretty horrible overall, for such a great product.

Congrats, looks great! I was under the impression the bucket seats weren’t available to spec anymore, I guess I was wrong. Enjoy!

Beautiful car, and love the seat inserts. I am back and forth on those myself. Congrats on sneaking in the door, right as it closes.

You are right, my build was submitted before the bucket stop sale started ...but my production got delayed by couple of months due to CXX options and finally she arrived on July 1st

LOL that was my son
I did CXX steering wheel, seat inserts and door pulls through Porsche exclusive manufacturer.. causing 2 month delay in production!

Greetings and congrats! We are cousins! I have a '23 Shark Blue Spyder as well but did black wheels.
What was your build date? Mine was May and I picked it up in June at PEC ATL.
Enjoy it!

Whoa I just noticed 11k for customization? Those seat inserts and door pulls weren't 11k were they!!??

Oh Nice … Congrats to ya as well .. mine was May production too but it sat in the CXX shop for sometime before landing on state side on July 1st… steering wheel customization took half of that 11k besides Houndstooth and Door loops
