Do you guys care to share the PCCB bedding in procedure?

Very nice white GT3 Touring - mine won’t look too dissimilar. It appears Porsche installed better looking hardware on the LWBs this time around. And though Porsche dropped a wart on the rear deck, at least it’s not on the roof.

Is the wart for the GPS/nav or for the Sat radio? Would any options choices make it go away?

Curious why the chart shows zero Canadian Touring cars for January.

Irregardless great data! Can't wait to for pics to start popping up as these cars reach their new homes!!

Only 8/38 with the silver touring package. People not buying into the retro chrome look. What a shame.

Honestly, the touring just looks like a plain 911 C4S with slightly different sport design aero treatment/diffuser with some center locking wheels thrown in. I do need new glasses. It is definitely more subtle and looks good in the silver, grey, and black to me. The real winged GT3 is really the way it looks right to me in any color except Carmine. It has an aerokit specific to it, and looks fast standing still. The touring is better than the R in specs, but it is not the R. A GT3 by definition has a fixed wing!

For all it's worth, if I had picked a touring option GT3, I think the retro chrome look with corresponding color headlights trim and wheels in a vintage color would be ideal. Add some special seats in Houndstooth and bingo, you are done... chrome trim in the more modern color palette, not so sure.

The pix are great!

Yeah but some of us prefer that our GT3 has all the performance without the 2F2F package. But it's good to know what you think.

That very well could be the case. We have 10 CDN builds that don't show interior options for some reason (intentionally not there). Those could be Touring cars...but normally we see option code 032 or 039 in the build sheets.

If we could get proof of the VIN on that car it may help us to identify other incoming Touring cars for Canada.

Looking forward to seeing his car in person, hopefully next week.

I'll defer to others who may know, but I believe you need to to select radio delete to kill the wart.

Just purchase another logo and have them put it on They should have a ton of Silver Porsche logos laying around. If you PPF the whole care it will need to be removed anyhow. Just make sure you make a template first with masking tape. The black does look odd with the silver door trim and wheels.
