Default Just picked up today! :)

Just picked up this bad boy today and dropped it off at the detailer for a detail and full Xpel wrap. Won't get to enjoy fully until next Friday or Saturday. Here are tons of pictures of a white TTS with gloss black aerokit for people to ********** to. hahahah Sorry for the bad picture compositions. Had clear LED side markers ready for install but Suncoast sent me two right sides and no left side.

Am I the only one that specs a rear window wiper in the US? lol

Hopefully will get lowered in a few weeks. The car looks like it is on tippy toes right now.

I noticed that there are wheel locks securing the wheels. Is that standard equipment for the turbo wheels? The service department switched out the wheels for me so I didn't see. Only noticed it when I looked back at the pictures. SA is gone for the day so I can't ask him. Car is at the detailers so I can't check to see if there is a wheel lock key in the car.

John, congratulations my friend! She is absolutely drop dead gorgeous. Wheels differentiate it from some of the others and they look hot! All the extra touches make me say “wow”. I’m surprised you didn’t notice that scratch and the 2 dents before you left Dealer. Oh well ✌️

If I’m not mistaken, don’t you have 15-20 boxes of goodies to play with when the car returns?

Im sure the wheel lock is in the glove box. If not they can mail/fedex to you. Ask your PPF guy to check. As to whether it’s standard, I’ve run centerlocks from day 1 so not sure but did the lugs come from the old wheels or did HRE send them?

Drive it in good health and of course, be safe. No masturbating while driving 🤔😱😜

Rear wiper-that explains the delay. When the factory saw the order they had to clear it with 3 signatures and a verification because the parts manager looked and said “hey guys, is this right? Did someone actually order the rear wiper? So we even have any in stock? Better get management involved.”

Actually it’s probably a very practical option but I think because of the otherwise streamlined and “sports car” aestethics most people skip it. Or they don’t know about it. Most cars are probably not custom ordered and are bought off lot and the dealers order most with minimal to average spec. My thoughts.

Thanks Wassy. Can't wait to get the car back. The straight white looks so much brighter than the carrera white. I'm glad that I got it over that color but I still wished I would have gotten one of the blue colors instead though. hahah

Lava orange in person is just stunning. There was a Carrera S at the dealership floor with the Carrera Sport wheels painted in black that was just mesmerizing to look at. Pictures can't do that color any justice.

Awesome John! Again another new friend I can chat about cars with every day. Talk about suspense know how close the car is but not knowing when. I'm really excited for you and can't wait to see you put the rest of your personal touches on! So far so good looking!

Great looking car. Very similar in respect to the one I have coming in November, except it is in Guards red. Love the deviated stitching inside. I'm glad I did this on my new car. I didn't have it on my 997.2 Turbo and wished I did after seeing it on other cars. Break her in well and enjoy the ride after the detail is complete.
