Yes I live in summerlin. Did anyone go to Chariots of Tivoli last night? Was a big turn out.

What would the 100 octane do? Would love to try it. I assume it let’s the engine advance timing and make more power, but wouldn’t it need more than a tank for the ECU to adjust?

PAG recommends 93 octane. Since the highest pump octane is 91 in Nevada we need to get the octane up to 93. Putting 100 octane every 3rd fill gets us at 93 octane.

Don't understand this maths.

I skipped them since there is no other carbon fiber panel exposed. Also expect that they are not as durable as paint. Would be good to hear feedback from people who have it if they see pitting from small rocks.

Not to be contrarian but they look awesome on the GT3....but on a Touring, perhaps a little out of sorts and not in keeping with the understated nature of the Touring-particularly with the bright work around the windows. No wrong answer though..all look good.

What specs were your recent cars? Might have seen them around.

Thanks for all the input everyone.

Beautiful car PorscheFrank. Thanks for sharing.
Overdraft, I'm leaning towards touring black as opposed to the "high gloss silver" trim. If I was going with a darker color car, I would do the standard touring. You are right; they all look good though.

Here is an 911r. I thought it looked great in person. But as other have said, I would only do it if you went with the black trim or if it were a black car with silver trim.

I couldn't get carbon mirrors with PTS, but I so wish I could have. The look is completely different, they look fantastic. I would 100% spec them.

not really sure what you are asking. These are factory Porsche carbon fiber caps. They are precisely what you get when you order the option. Yes they are carbon fiber. $1000. They are like a $1450 option.
