Latest bulletin from PCNA:
"Due to a supply shortage, the 911 GT3 RS order(s) listed below will be produced with a painted hood and not the visible carbon fiber hood which is included with the Weissach Package (option 808). This is being done to prevent any delays in the delivery of the vehicle. A replacement visible carbon fiber front hood will be sent to your dealership through warranty in mid-November. The painted hood can be kept by the customer free of charge after receipt of the front hood in visible carbon fiber."
Looks like some of us will be getting a free hood

So running list of supplier issues:
-Mg wheels
-CF steering wheel trim
-CF paddles
-CF hood
-Other
Mailing a warranty hood... wtf, seriously... lol
Whoever runs their procurement / vendor management function should be taken out behind the wurst shed and beaten with a brat.

Even Porsche couldn’t believe how many people will throw crazy money at a few pounds...

Or they're building more 3RS's than budgeted.

Porsche are desperate to get as many GT cars out as possible before the WLTP deadline so I am sure they are stretching their supply chain to the max. I have no idea when my carbon steering wheel will show up.

Another thing that we not have figured out is about the floor mats. In the description och the WP they say lightweight carpet trim, but I have the normal ones. The GT2 RS have special floor mats.

wow, this is so bizarre. It sounds like when I pick up my WP on ED it has the potential to be quite a Frankenstein! Good thing I ordered LG. (Funny, huh?) But I’ll take a free frunk, will be good to beat up on ED instead of the clear CF; plus it’ll make great wall art. I know where I’ll put all the stickers from the mountain passes, as well as any other random stickers now to further commemorate my adventures. Would look very cool!
