It's the 997 RS stripe on the exterior they got wrong. Ordered silver got black. Not a big job to replace but I paid for and wanted it to be a factory installation. I ordered yellow stitching and they got that right.

 

Oops sorry was reading while driving and didnt' see it was striping ... should be an easy fix

 

needmoregarage,
Congratulations on the UV RS. I'd go with your idea on tint.

 

I've been out of the loop sick as a dog for a few days and wanted to say congrats to a few of you folks who took delivery - all of the cars look amazing , but Carol gets the prize for the best presentation - great eye for the color match on your nails ! I got the call this afternoon and even though I'm still under the weather I ran down to see it . They got the order 100 % correct . I'll post picks soon . Relieved that GT Silver looks great with Guards Red . Pictures do neither color any justice

 

This finish is called "Xpel Stealth", it turns any factory paint color "satin". Also has self healing abilities which heal light abrasions and common wear and tear.

 

Thanks. We're going to have the Xpel guy give us his thoughts but we are leaning toward a dark tint that will still allow reflection.

Thanks B! So sorry to hear you've been sick. Rotten timing (not that there's ever a good time to be sick). Glad you got to see the car and that you're happy with the colors. I'm sure it's a stunning combo and look forward to photos! Feel better!!!

READING WHILE DRIVING!??? Please don't do this!! Hate to lose you from the forum! Safety first!

Luv the grocery getter! Good for you! Like you say....any excuse! Very nice looking young man!!

As you suggest we'll go with dark tint. Thanks!

Paint is too permanent. We want to be able to easily put it back to stock. It doesn't have to be black or body color - I just don't want red. I want them to "disappear" so the eye isn't drawn to that area. If there was other red on the car I wouldn't care - but I love the tail lights as they somewhat tie in to the "silver" contrast theme. The red doesn't belong.

We generally don't go too crazy with mods. On the other hand it can be nice to personalize it to some degree. With tint covering the reflector it'll still reflect (a little) and we can easily peel off the tint and put it back to stock. But I know what you mean...

 

Well, after doing some poking at my dealer, it seems my RS is finally going to be loaded on a Reliable transport today at the Port of Jacksonville and is projected to arrive at my dealership in Houston on Saturday. It had been offloaded from the Goodwood, PDI'd, and pronounced ready for transport last Tuesday the 17th, but there had been no new information until I started the poking yesterday. Things finally got moving when the dealer called the main Porsche guy at the Port of Houston facility who then got ahold of someone at the Porsche Jacksonville facility. I still don't know why the car got offloaded at Jacksonville in the first place when the Goodwood was going on to Houston after it left Jacksonville anyway.

 

Happy to report that the CXX issue is being taken care of and got resolved within 1 day! Glad to see Porsche is being on top to make things right ... Car got finally unwrapped and PDIed.

 

Another UV, priceless.

 

glad to hear that cxx issue resolved
car looks great

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Glad to hear it was resolved in a timely manner and hope you enjoy the car!

Fingers are crossed that mine shows up as ordered. Will find out Feb 21st.

Would love to see pics of the seats if/when you get around to posting.

My dealer just called and advised that my RS is due to arrive this morning (a day earlier than last projected), so I am picking it up this afternoon! Pics to follow!

 

As promised

 

^^^Congrats on the new RS!
