Listed under standard equipment for U. S. GT3 is the below. Can you confirm are these similar to the current LED headlight DRL?

Four-point LED daytime running lights in each headlight

Haha wow have to repeat this in so many different posts. No worries, since this is my thread, I'll state it clearly here again, hopefully people will reference here next time.


All headlights in the GT3 will feature the 4 point Daytime Running Lights, does not matter which of the 4 headlights you option (including no option).


The free option and the $780 PDLS are both Bi-Xenon headlights but with LED DRL in the interior of the housing (on the actual projector shown below). The two $2k+ LED headlight options are LED headlights but with LED DRL on close to the exterior border of the headlight (on the ring halo as shown below)


Free Bi-xenon are chrome and silver headlights. $780 PDLS BiXenon are partial black headlights.

This really is a special thread, thanks !!

Or how much money they can make by strong-arming all of you to buy PCCBs :P


Stitching is actually pretty easily done through CXX, but of course it always depends on the actual model. Some models will get a no. If you stick to one of the threads that they use already (Racing yellow, garnet red, acid green, white, silver grey, beige, espresso, etc) it will be easier.


Calipers as I mentioned in the other threads, unless you're looking to paint it in a boring color that they already paint in regular Porsche, it will be a No unless you have serious pull. PTS colors are caliper is a definite no at this point. As I mentioned, Porsche changes their mind all the time on these one-off cases. Identical color request on identical car, one yes and one no. I wouldn't count on it unless you want it in titanium silver or black, then again you would have to be pretty desperate to pay an arm to paint in black or silver haha.

Has Porsche decided what they are going to do when people show up with top end issues out of warranty on the 991.1 GT3s?

Jimmy-D

^ My bet is they will take care of the issue but no way they would publicly announce this.

But - I have to believe how long out of warranty will be deciding factor. 2 years I assume yes. Five years - may be tough

As an aside you guys ask the most pinky lifting questions about snowflake options like PTS calipers.

You guys know there are 500 shops that can paint the full rainbow post delivery right?

PbPedis

Yes, but it's always better if it already comes that way from the factory

ipse dixit

Already done.

Called the Lounge.

robmypro

I agree on all counts, Jimmy.

Left nut...

Damn... we just got called out with some #truth! LOL. I'm going to go have rainbow calipers painted now, just sounds so perfectly pinky-lifting!

Do you think Porsche exclusive will allow us to paint the newly black parts on the .2 GT3 (lower mirror, wing endplates, and air intakes) back to the same color as the exterior color?

I'm doing this one way or the other.
I and my pinky would prefer it this way from the factory, but I will do it aftermarket if Porsche won't allow this or wants to charge me some crazy figure to do it at the factory.

Given that a buyer complies with the "rules" about flipping and occassionally makes additional purchases is there a limit to how long a 918 buyer (VIP) will remain a VIP?

chaosoul

Most likely the entire mirror and wing endplates will be able to be painted via CXX just like the RS, 911R, and GT4. The new black parts like lower LED on front bumper and rear wing air intake is to be determined based on the first people who submits this request. I can't tell you a good answer, but I want to say yes on both counts.



If they comply by all the rules. The 918 VIP program will last 3 years for original owners that kept their 918 for at least 6 months, and 10 years for owners that kept their 918 for at least 3 years. That would be the maximum the 918 VIP will remain the program, just in time to have an secured allocation for the next CGT/918. Whether or not they will offer the program again is to be determined.
