Default Photo book -- no CXX pictures??
So, I received my photo book today. It includes twenty pages of photos showing the car on the assembly line, but there are zero pictures of the CXX options being installed. My car is very CXX heavy.

Seems other folks' photo books have multiple pages of CXX photos.

Is this something to complain about?

I have a simular issue, only 3 shots of the CXX part and one was far off from sharp. On top one page not in the right format. Not happy with quality for that price tag. They are reworking it now.... reach out to photobook@porsche.de

Was thinking on this option as well. Yes others have posted pics of the book showing their CXX installed.

It is a steep tag, definitely inquire about the shortcomings.

For an eye watering price, Porsche will make a book of photos of your car being produced as it rolls down the assembly line.

The deeper I go down the rabbit hole, the more I realize my income needs major improvements. How do we get this photobook and what's it gonna run me?

i cant find the link easily, but if you search CXX in titles of threads on this forum I have a compilation of CXX options thread and someone very helpfully posted all the details in that thread.

Is it possible to get the photo book after the car has been delivered if it wasn’t requested during the build or production?

Need to order through Exclusive Manager when putting together your build. $1800 Euro. They hire external photographer partner.

That is nuts. It's just a print effort.

Sublet print
Sublet labor
Porsche tax

Did we expect this to cost less when it's 500 for a painted key???
