As for the CF... I do like it. But wouldn't have spec'd it. No biggie.
And yes, I agree in the LED's. But again, oh well.
Otherwise, I appreciate your excitement for me. Don't worry, you didn't rain on my parade. ; )

The allocation and your joy to receive is great, congratulations.
As to what's up with the allocation, with extra cost Bluetooth telephone, telephone module, sport chrono, etc. they really loaded it with extra cost goodies. I wouldn't put it past Pirsche to say "hey we've got a bunch of cost option extras on the shelf (already ordered from the supplier) and nobodies ordered them so let's load up a bunch of cars spec'ed to use them up and maximize profit. With no cars available and still demand they will go no problem - and the buyer will think they scored." Smells like the ole 30 extra PTS GT3 cars that showed up pre-spec'ed with items not usually ordered ready to go to willing hands

In any case, nice score for the OP no matter what!

Very nice build, you will like the carbon....The LWB are comfortable after you add a little padding to the lumbar area.

Well, you all know my theory- these "extra" GT3's were meant to be GT3RS's but parts availability (like ultra expensive crank) just couldn't meet the original production quota for the RS. So crank out a few extra GT3's and burn through the inventory- problem solved.
In any case, nice score for the OP no matter what!

Also something to note- I WAS 2nd on the list. Last week I reached out to my sales guy asking if he was getting any used ones in. Told him I was going to buy a used one and still keep my spot on the list and I'd buy the new one and trade in or sell the used one. Now all the sudden they get an extra one....? Convenient timing.....?

I'm a 52+ jacket and 40 waist (have to get my clothes bespoke made if I don't want to look like I'm wearing bags)
All those years of football and power lifting are coming back to haunt me. Doh!!!
I'm hoping they stretch out like new shoes! Lol

Yeah...I hear you. I guess you missed where I mentioned it's already built. No can change. Oh well. I'm taking it anyway. I can always change the tail lights and gauges.

I'm more concerned with the WIDTH in the upper back and shoulder area.

Yeah man. I got banned from there after my back and forth with stealth. I am actually a bit farther than collegeville as I am in Bucks County, but I shop at Porsche of Mainline. I've been waiting for a GT3 allocations now for what seems like a lifetime. I always though you were in Florida judging by the avatar picture. We should meet up sometime during local car meets.

pretty much identical to mine - no PCCBs or Sirus for me though

Congrats on finally scoring your GT3 with PCCBs! 
It definitely was either a dealer spec (loaded to the hilt) or someones order who has chosen not to take delivery. The Porsche inventory theory makes sense as well but time will tell if/when we start seeing more of these "extras."
