Default PPF Specialists in DFW area


Hi,

This is Mark in Dallas. My PTS GT3 arrives in late May, can’t wait. Are you local to DFW as well?

I alternate buying by Porsche’s from either Park Place or Plano Porsche. I’ve been told that for clearcoat services Park Place recommends:

Clearshield Auto Wrap. The manager is named “Houston”. Phone: (214) 354-3327

What PTS color did you go with? Mine will be GTS Red. Looks like there will be several PTS GT3’s in the area.

Best of Luck, Mark

Thanks for compiling this information. Just wanted to add mine to the list. Gulf blue, orange stitching, painted interior, PDK, Dec build with Feb delivery. Anyone else out there building this color? Also, anyone have recommendations for PPF/detailers in either the OKC or DFW area? Thanks in advance and will send updates as I get them.

Mark,

Appreciate the advice, will check Clearshield out. I also heard about Apex Auto near Love Field as well. I'm in South Texas, my car is coming from OKC. Congrats on your ride and hope to see you at a Porsche event one of these days! i have a long wait for mine...Best to you, John

Ha. When I downsized (I had a hoard of projects), I was told if you sell more than three cars a year, you have to get a dealer’s license. I was like great, give me a dealer’s license, I am sick of paying sales tax. They were like “nevermind.”

anyone tried to get a color approved under the new regime? Might be worth it to cut a deal with your dealer to do a 718 at 11k (5500x2) to save some bucks over the double GT3 cost.

I also now strongly suspect they are grouping the same color together for production as there was a string of riveria cars and I have also seen it with some other colors.

Finally, if anyone really wants a PTS car, I know of a riveria and a viper both MT for sale (at significant ADMs).

I spoke with Yana at exclusive, was told PAG does NOT group production by color. Feel free to ask her.

I know, but three riveria cars all hit IG within a week. Two acids within two days. Two lindens in a couple days. Two Mexico’s. Etc.

Car went to S3 Material Ordered today
Transmission: Manual
Body: Wing
PTS color: Grigio Telesto Metallic
Wheels: Black satin
Brakes: PCCB
Seats: LWB
Interior: Full Leather with silver stitching
Lights: black LED
Lift; Yes
Radio: Standard
In dealer inventory end of June.

I was going back and forth on wing vs Touring but my decision was made for me because of the PTS stop sale. Had I switched to Touring I would have lost PTS and the car would have been delayed. Looking forward to the car in this color and the manual transmission.

With Grigio Telesto, the wing definitely sounds like the way to go.

Welcome to the Telesto club ... I think there's about four of us in it so far.

Quick question: On the PTS list there are several people who kept their selected color confidential. What would be the purpose of that? I am not in any way questioning anyone who wants to keep their info confidential. I'm just wondering the reason? Is it for some kind of color strategy? I mean you can't keep it confidential when you drive it obviously. Thank for clearing me up on this.

I think some people feel that if the disclose their color during the beginning of the process, it could create a greed factor and perhaps encourage others who still have not made up their mind, to also consider such color. For example, someone could be gettin a color that has been flying under the radar and has rarely been selected in the past. They don’t wanna tell the world the color they are getting and allow that to potentially cause more people, who would have otherwise never considered that color before to potentially get it too, thus making that color less rare. Once the car arrives, it doesn’t matter because there may not be more allocations or PTS may not be available.

Would you like to have the only 991.2 GT3 in PTS “xxxx” color? Long shot, but still, advertising colors will not help it happen either. PTS 101 lol.

I understand. So if there are no more PTS allocations (or perhaps that will be soon when and if remaining PTS allocations are locked) would it be safe then to report? It will be interesting to see the total mix.
