Hey, I really appreciate the kind words!

Restraint was the most difficult thing... trying to personalize it without jumping the shark. I had a few options selected that I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on.

Believe it or not I still don't have the car, and don't have any interior pics yet, but I do have a fuzzy iPhone pic of the other sill. Trying to celebrate Porsche's great accomplishments. They're the reasons these amazing road cars exist.

I'm loving watching everybody's builds trickling through. It's been like a hobby for the last 12 months!

Thanks, Evilfij! It's so hard to know how these things are going to turn out until the car is there in front of you. One thing I found with drawing packages is that it's easy to get caught in the 'match everything' game. At one point I had the letters on the rear in orange! Actually, that and more.

I'm loving the orange turn signals on this build! It would be easy to try the clear ones (the tech can pop them on in a couple of minutes) but I'm digging the orange!

I can honestly say this turned out exactly the way I hoped it would. Not a snag-free process in my case, but my dealer and PCNA really came through for me.

For Tourings with full leather interior, do the 'A' and 'C' pillars come in leather or alcantara?

From memory, alcantara.

But then I'm the guy who forgot that he also got seatbacks in leather, so my memory is...

Agreed. But easy enough to buy another roof wart and get it painted and swapped. In fact the dealer has been willing to replace it under warranty as a “production defect”...

Do you happen to know how much buying a new one and having it painted would cost (and where to source from)? Is it just attached with a screw underneath?

I was thinking about getting some headlight washers painted in my PTS color (Maritime Blue) aftermarket, since my dealer advised me to remove it from my build since he said PAG wasn't doing them on PTS builds anymore. Was gonna purchase from BumperPlugs, so maybe I can ask about a replacement/matching rear wart...

Still not detailed, PPF'd or even properly washed, but I should hopefully get my hands on it soon. Then all it will need is miles.

It has been a very long process, but Porsche of North Olmsted have gone above and beyond, and then some.

A special thanks to Eduardo and Bullitt44 for helping me to kick around CXX ideas, always discussing and explaining options without steering the build. Also to another member of this board who has provided incredible counsel throughout the process.
Very nice color combo - well done

Good to know. Please let us know more details if you do swap your "wart".

It's apparently a US thing. ROW cars don't have to have the wart. Something to do with Sirius/XM.

On a Touring the wart is on the deck lid, not the roof

The antenna is ~$100 from the dealer. On a regular GT3 you have to pull down the headliner to get to the screw that holds it in place. On the Touring, I suspect it is far easier to access behind the rear shelf carpet.

I already swapped mine on my own (bought an antenna, had it painted, and did the swap). I'd post a picture here but my car has a wing, and you can imagine what it would look like...
