Edit: It's true you can't claim both income tax and sales tax. However, you can use the state sales tax table and then add the tax for the vehicle on top of that. Given the amount of tax on a $150K car it may be advantageous to do that rather than claim state income tax. This deduction expires at the end of 2013 and may or may not be renewed by Congress.
Sorry for the confusion.

That would be fun. I'm on the fence about a clear bra. I declined the dealer installed option but may go aftermarket with a custom install. Leaning slightly against at the moment.

Good info... Thx. I've seen guys start an energy drink business then ruin the car by wrapping it in the logo. "ATOMIC NOS II PURE ENERGY"... And then sponsor thier car as a race car... Too much!!!.. Ill be happy to just get the car purchased and in a nice warm garage so u can sit in it and play the radio until the snow clears

At first, I was definitely going to do it...
Now, I'm leaning toward doing a coating like OptiCoat or CQuartz Finest. I figure a really big rock will wind up denting through the clear bra anyway--and since I'm getting white, I'll need to replace the bra every couple or three years too. If that's the case, might as well get a coating that beads water off well, retains the look and feel of paint, etc. instead.
That said, with months to go before delivery, I'm bound to change my mind another half dozen times.

Spoken like someone so far down the 991 gt3 list at his dealership that he can say this without actually blushing! Right, Joe! 
That's all? You & your passenger don't need no stinking seat airbags...except when you run into that unexpected crash! Then the 'thorax' of both occupants might not like it so much, since the engineers designed crash protection of the cabin to include working airbags on the seats. The thorax is that portion of your body, between your neck & abdomen, that includes the ribs, dorsal vertebrae and internal cavity with major organs like your heart & lungs. But other than that, it's nice to know the gt2 seats on a 981 & 991 are mostly 'functional' and move/glide nicely back & forth.
Hope nothing bad ever happens because, in our current litigious environment, a smart lawyer would have a field day with injuries (e.g. your passenger) arising from such alteration to the safety 'equipment' of your vehicle.
Saludos,
Eduardo

I also have a full front clear bra of X-Pel, which was installed 18 months ago, and I can't detect any yellowing or other discoloration with it.

rookie porsche wannabe here:
is there any truth to what i'm hearing that the gt3 is the first 911 that they pushed the motor slightly forward (or rear axle slightly back), making it closer to a mid engined car ?
