Thanks guys! This puppy meets all the hype and more. I’m so happy with my color choice. The only alternative would be chalk. I saw it in person, looked amazing!

In in terms of my build, it is relatively simple. Buckets, front lift, Bose. A few minor visual things like the black/ red wheels, anthracite aluminum trim (which looks way better than my carbon fiber in .1, imo), red belts, red steering wheel marker and fire extinguisher. BTW, Bose is great, not an audiophile system, but way, way better than sound package plus. The sub integration is great!
And the new infotainment system is by far the best I have seen. Apple car play is great, but Porsche software is better, imo.

That view through the rear view mirror showing the dual air intakes and wing is a view I would miss in a Touring!

Congratulations! GT Silver looks spectacular and timeless. Your review is spot on. Awesome engine, manual tranny, and weighty of clutch.

Enjoy!

Went through the books and found the warranty card for the PPF. So the dealer used Advanced Vehicle Outfitters in Walnut Creek, and they used Suntek ultra. I’m not an expert in this and had it done through the dealer for convenience. I heard many talk about Xpel, not sure how this Suntek stacks up against It. From my own inspection, it seems they did a nice job, but again, I’m not an expert. Has anyone used these guys in the Bay Area?

It is also very good PPF. Could have a tad more clarity where Ultimate may have a tad more protection but neither enough to matter.
What is important is the Installer and if you are happy with their work you are fine.
