So the rarity of the UV "and" me being able to match black wheels (I despise cleaning wheels) with the black uprights is really drawing me in. What kind of uber Porsche investment are we talking about for the uprights? I mean if the black wheels (all 4 of them) aren't tremendously outrageous, can Porsche really bend people over for a whopping "2" erector set structures
paid CDN $ 1400 for the struts in black and $560 for the rear GT3 RS (rip off)decal in black on my order

Was that an Exclusive deal?? Can't configure black struts with UV in the U.S.

Curious, as well.

I suspect it could be requested via Porsche Exclusive as a CXX option (Special Wishes / Special Handling), since it's no effort on their part to just use the other sticker / wing strut.

I should credit my dealers input, yes it is an exclusive customer request deal.
The cost however makes no sense since Porsche Germany definitely lets you pay for the change which actually is no cost on their end. I did not mind since that is how I really wanted my car.

My car goes V300 (Vehicle completed) September 4th.
I just e-mailed Jamie at ED to see if I can get the pickup date moved earlier.

I can ask right? :-)

Just received email from the dealership.

Status - V300

Location - Port Emden

Sails for America - 7/31/2015 (Anyone else leaving that day?)

I am still wet my pants pumped, only one negative, I am a yellow orange fan, (my former Zanzibar, the 2008 RS, etc., my Boxster is racing yellow), so what's my negative? The posts questioning the Lava color are concerning. I have been trying to determine if striping helps break it up (there is a picture out there of a 991 RS with the 2008 RS stripe above the rockers, looks nice, also the 997.2 4.0 stripe with RS 4.0 and the matching hood stripe might be nice) - Thoughts?

Thanks

My car on Kentucky Highway, due in to Brunswick at 8AM tomorrow. I can't find on the "tracker' sites (Not showing anything since 7/20) so I guess it's wait and see. Allan

Once it leaves the range of the terrestrial networks, you have to pay for updates. I started a thread last year describing a cheap way to get satellite updates.
Hang in there Allan! she's coming for ya!
