After ordering in Spring and Porsche pushing back to Dec due to some Exclusive CXX options that I wanted, my panda paint schemed Turbo S arrived right before the new year. For the CXX options, I had the full mirrors painted black, and I had the lower dash wrapped in Alcantara to match the rest of the Alcantara interior. As much as I tried, I couldn't get them to do a rear seat delete for me. I was close until someone figured out that the car couldn't be imported into the US in that config.
I just snapped a few photos after getting the car back from having it wrapped in Xpel and the wheels painted and lips polished. 'Love this thing.

Nice. I like it. I supposed you played with doing the black-painted aero kit and black door handles and figure that that'd be too much Panda?

Strange and interesting, since the GT3s have rear-seat delete? Yes? Must be a DOT/NTSHA thing about not having crash tested a 911 Turbo with rear seat delete.

LOL. Must be one of those CXX options: Model Designation on left door panel only...
Didn't think I wanted the door designation and then had a change of heart after delivery, so I ordered them from Suncoast and put them on this morning. Good eyes.

The aero kit is a bit too 'busy' for my taste. White mirrors on a white car just stick out too much, painting them black does a good job of 'hiding' them.

Exactly. No one at Porsche USA caught it, but one of the clever Germans at HQ did. It's hard to argue with that as a reason

That's what I thought. Any plans to change that? Dropped Turbos look so good, but you sacrifice some of the usability that makes the car what it is. I do wish it came 10mm lower, but having played around with suspension in the past - never again. I'll be sticking with stock.

Yup, likewise. I'm going to stick with stock as well.
