Default Finally into a GT3

Just want to tell everyone my story. I owned a 997tt but was ready to upgrade to a 991. So I was lurking around here back in January and was getting the itch for a 3. A good friend of mine Mike with CMC detailing was doing a paint correction on a 15 metallic white one weekend so I swung by to check it out. That's all it took. I had to have one. Started searching only to find (as others were telling me) that must were spoken for. So I reached out to Ralph with Inner car connection to help me with my search. He found me several cars but not quite the way I wanted. I was about to throw in the towel and move on, when he located me a Guard red 14 with the options I was looking for. Pccb, axle lift, red stitching, pcm with navi, heated seats to name a few.

Here she is. I had my friend Mike do his magic on the paint. Installed a SW bypass and silver hood emblem.

Lol. She normally loves the camera but she was outside and in explore mode.

Thanks everyone. This car is so fun to drive. Can't wait for the smokies meet.

One thing about the paint correction. My guy said he saw a lot of factory sand marks in the roof and wing. He still need to go over the wing some more but we ran out of time. Anyone else run into sand marks?
