The new MPSC2 N0 is the actual mystery R super duper tire..
i am loving the tire, but if I had to pay big dollars for the mag rim, I would ask them to take better care of them

That weissach lizard looks really nice, trying to decide between the lizard and Miami for my own build. Are you happy with the decision to go weissach?
Any pics of interior package?

Have decided and arranged to have both full coverage with Suntek Ultra (including the headlights), and Exoshield placed on car as soon as it arrives. What have people done (or are going to do) for protection of their 3RS? Hopefully, our European friends that have already taken delivery can chime in.

Full PPF is good advice if you're planning for track duty. My RS has the leading edge of the rear quarter panel covered in a double layer as I had noticed debris penetrating through the first layer of PPF on my car. I would also make sure you cover the trailing edge of the rear quarter behind the rear tires.

Thanks my friend; good advice.

I wish I had wrapped the rear wing too. The leading edge of that wing gathers chips.

Good point. My leading edge is wrapped.

I didn't double wrap the rear quarters the first time around. I found out the hard way. Running slicks on the car throws up some serious debris into that area. With a double wrap we've been able to contain the damage to the top layer of tape and preserve the paint. It's the only place I've seen the damage penetrating through. I am using the Xpel product on my car.

Oh on a good/bad side note... I accidentally swung the door open into my garage wall. Thrashed the PPF on the edge of my door but saved the paint. My client/friend who owns a local body shop and installs my PPF re-skinned my door for $300. I was so glad to spend that $300 knowing it had saved the paint on my door.

Last time I did xpel on the high impact areas like front bumper and side skirts. And suntek everywhere else. I've found expel more durable but suntek looks like glass.

Hello fellow 991.2 GT3RS owners. I just got an update from my SA. My Racing Yellow GT3RS is on Miraculous Ace. First port of call to go to from Emden is Davisville August 4. My GT2RS is scheduled to arrive in Houston August 5. Porsche is churning these cars faster than I expected.

Drive safe,
GT3RS-Fan1

Thank you waxer (fellow diehard GT3RS ). When are you expecting your 991.2 GT3RS? Congrats on your incoming GT3RS. I felt sad when I let go of my Lava Orange 991.1 GT3RS, a good friend bought from me. On the bright side a younger brother of the same breed is coming soon!

Drive safe,
