What now? Dealers charge extra price for able to choose your own color? Its like low cost carrier airlines?
So if don't pay ADM, people do can get a .2 GT3RS but they just can't choose the color? Dealer will let you build your whole spec (front lift or not, bucket or not) but just not the color?
How to dealers prevent people from choosing the color they want anyways.
"What color do you want?"
"Lizard Green"
"Ok, no you can't get that, any other color is ok, unless you pay ADM"
Does ADM and color picking go hand in hand? So people who paid ADM would be able to get it without ADM if they give up their color choice? And people who paid MSRP most likely won't be able to pick their own colors?

Can anyone recommend a protective windshield coating they like? I have read about ExoShield and wondering if anyone has any feedback based upon personal experience with this or with any other systems. I realize there is an issue with reported delamination and PPF coverage over the headlights but are people still inclined to cover the headlights with a PPF in-spite of the stated risk? I would prefer avoiding the inevitable windshield and headlight chips.

I ordered side delete of the decal on door for my LG+ WP RS. With all the black on the car from wheels, frunk and roof, the side decal just seemed like too much...cleaned up the look abit to delete it.. However ,I would have left it on for a non-WP car.

For headlight you either gotta choose delamination or chips, one or the other. Delaminated headlights can be sanded down, polished and re-clear coated to look brand new and put on new PPF again.

You know what, you could be right. I will get a few miles under the belt and let the novelty wear off and then see about getting them repainted in gloss white gold

There is merit to many of your points but I have a few month history with the Porsche brand, and I a not, nor will I be for sometime considered a long time established client. I also realize that there are people who achieve VIP status in other ways but I again, sadly, am not numbered amongst that august body. Here in the USA, understanding Canada is different, if you want a GT car and do not want to wait several years on the master super secret "list" and play the game the ADM is a reality. Now we can discuss how much of an ADM one can manage but I feel many of the dealerships are setting the ADM admission price higher with the first batch of allocations and those ADMs may improve over the next several months but for now welcome to the land of you have no choice, that is, if you want a GT3-RS.
Hello my friend just saw your post. I will assume for the moment you are not writing this in jest and if you are.......very clever. The color (colour) selection and the ADM are true-true and unrelated. The ADM is simply the price of admission to the Porsche GT car world.......After you pay the "admission" charge, so to speak, your free to choose whatever color (colour) on the configurator you like.
Contrary to popular beliefs, most GT cars are actually sold at MSRP or under. Most dealers that said "we're selling all our RS at 70k over" are actually selling like 1/3 to half to their cars at MSRP, and then counting in dealers who only sell cars at MSRP, the ratio is adjusted. They won't ever tell you that though or admit it, because then customers think they would have a chance or have some way to get on the list of getting it at MSRP. Even in California where the demand is the highest, and some people believe many greedy dealers are selling only at ADM, in truth many people bought it at MSRP and under from those dealers people swore they always charge mark up.
How people reach VIP status is a different story. Which is why I explained to you there are many types of VIPs as I described above. Not for your case, but I'm breaking down the whole demographics of dealer VIPs, saying that most VIPs are not as you mentioned losing 65-130k on new cars and wait for 5 years just to get one GT3 RS. Those people that you described do exist but its a minority (like ~20% of dealer VIPs). And yes, I realize you cannot go back in time and start buying Porsche since 1990s and buy 993 turbo, 996 GT3, 997 GT3RS etc. But many people actually did, and they're only buying GT cars model to model at MSRP. Many people people also don't lose as much as you mentioned, spent 20-30k on losses over 3-4 cars over 5 years instead and in return getting not just one GT3 RS but both .1 and .2, as well as other models like .2GT3 and GT3 etc (Also the benefit of just driving brand new non GT Porsche included in the cost). Besides dealer VIPs, there are also non-dealer VIPs, like VVIP status from Porsche.
So, I'm not saying these are all the options you can reach now to become VIP, some of them are no longer viable to you, but some do. Just saying how dealer VIPs are and not all VIPs are like you mentioned have to "waste" or "lose" that much money to just get one GT3RS at MSRP. Paying ADM is totally fine too, I'm not saying you shouldn't, I am just telling you the facts so you're informed what other owner's situations are.
And of course the color picking is sarcasm. Its absurd if you have to pay ADM to pick color, then many people will gladly give up their color choice to get a car at MSRP.
I've been helping people with dealer allocations, ADMs, MSRPs, build status, custom tailoring for a long time now. Giving them insight to options, builds, CXX, market prices, dealer games, future models etc. Check out my help threads:

He is acting like a know it all, and I was just helping him stroke his ego. He obviously doesn't give a hoot about what others think of him, or what others think of what he says. Doesn't even know who chaosoul is.
