Yes, they have a 'Gloss Clear' on them. Thanks! (You can select 'Satin Clear' as well, if you so chose).

Best Regards,

My guess and partially confirmed is that because of the paint scheme on the Bonnet and Roof, those areas would require a hand painting and become a bottleneck. The Non-Weissach have an unfinished bonnet and the rest of the tub can go through he normal spray process. This is NOT confirmed but agreed by several within the ranks but certainly makes sense.

Those will be the hand-painted few WP+PTS that squeezed through, going for >$1million in the open market.

I can confirm that PTS WITH Weissach is available in Canada. My May production (PTS and Weissach), just got locked and approved by Porsche. I do have a 6 week delay over the non PTS cars though.

There is so much cool stuff we don't get here in the U.S. No Weissach would be a deal-breaker for me.

Wow it sure does thanks for posting. The car in the light reveals that you can see the carbon fiber as opposed it being totally lost in the black exterior.
Gold rims of the WP would look amazing.

We don’t use window nets ...on street cars. I doubt they let you drive windows up with glass safety film.

Some say wimdows down for point buys however Chin Motorsports or Now they are called Chin Track Days allows us to use blinkers for Point by’s so we could easily run windows up and use blinkers.

They allow wimdows up in up in the rain...but in the dry wimdows half to be down. Makes zero sense to me....plus again air bags are designed to function there best with windows up.

That's stupid and dangerous, i guess they dont really care if you lose the part of your body that might cross the window in case the cars is rolling over. Im competing in multiple amateur championship here and FIA force us to have films on every glass part and if we want to race window open to have a net. I dont like to race window open the noise from other car are alterating my proper gear shifting (still have the shifting light... but you know...missed some gear change sometimes and found it to be a good reason

Ok but when did you locked your order ? Because in US and Europe it was possible to take PTS + WP from 23 / 11 / 2017 to 23 / 12 / 2017 but since the 23 decembre it s imposible... So if you closed your order before the 23 decembre it s normal that you could take PTS + WP.

I tried that (without the PTS) and was told no, even on standard colors you only get WP complete with the stripes.
Reason given was that CXX is post-production and paint is production.
Told slight possibility they might allow you to swap hood, but would always leave roof stripes. Left it at that.

I guess that might change if it's a workaround, but seemed very unlikely before.
