have you researched this, this is a little scary

Somewhat. It is a known issue by Porsche and Porsche even released a document on it to the dealers. Chris is aware.

was wondering the alignment on the .1 vs the standard .2 and if you feel the track alignment affects the way it tracks on the street ?thanks

Congratulations man! I'm sure you are going to get tons of enjoyment out of it. Can't wait to see the design come together!

Good question. Not sure. I am going to have that checked out when I get Track alignment on .2. Will do a before and after measurement on ground clearance at front lip.

It's funny. I can't really say the .2 looks better than the .1. The front air ducts are different and the wing is a little different, but it's certainly not a better design. Maybe a lateral move.

Congrats, by the way.

A shout out to the NS2 Media team (Nick and Anthony) for helping me with the design. More pics will be posted to the 991.2 GT3 Pictures thread when the car is complete in a few weeks (yes, that's killing me, but have to be patient).

One thing I noticed when the two were side-by-side and that is the .2 has 1/2" more ground clearance at the front lip than the .1. Confirmed both lifts were down, any delivery 'stuff' in .2 suspension was removed. The .1 does have a track alignment with some negative camber, but thinking that's not affecting it. Anyway, may have to lower it a bit (what can be done with stock suspension) to get a bit more aggressive look.

A heads up...more to come...re: paint imperfections. I will let the experts submit a post with more details in the coming days. Without keeping you in suspense....appears to be normal and self-correcting. We'll see.
any update on the paint, has any of the lines faded
yet?

Firstly, Andy the RY car is stunning I know you cannot wait to get your hands on it. It's going to be worth the wait.

Just an add-on to this issue. I've had the same happen and the moisture is gradually dissipating but its taking time. The couple of days that Porsche mention isn't quite the case. It's been 6 days for mine and its still not quite perfect on the rear wheel arches. I've decided to hold off the ceramic coat treatment for another week as it may hamper the moisture from disappearing.
