Hi, attached are photos if you choose the interior "Trim in Leather in Interior Color" option to replace the shiny black trim, I like, and it's a $0 option

^^^ Great color, Greg! Shipping blocks was one of my first checks! Dealer also went with the "full load" 35/45 psi tire pressures out of the box. I went down to thepartial load of 31/37 psi now.

Hi, nice thought on psi, I need to check this, the drive home was pretty brutal on bumps with the shipping blocks still installed...service department seemed pretty embarrassed about what happened.

Thank you
Greg

Cool. And as they should be! Hopefully nothing permanent, but they know they're on the hook now if you have suspension drama in the future.

If you drop the psi too, don't forget to change your settings in the PCM gauge screen. They made it pretty easy (better than the .1 cars) with selecting the defaults. Enjoy!

So apparently the Xpel guy from Houston came up here to tint the GT2 RS with my guy. He hasn't returned my call on how it went. Haven't heard back...maybe he's away for the holiday.



Don't do it! the polycarbonate glass off gases with heat. Additionally, the normal adhesive they use with regular glass and tint is not good for our glass. Apparently it damages it in the long-run in combination with the off-gassing. Then if you want it removed, it is a hassle to get the adhesive off the Gorilla glass. On normal glass, the can just razor the adhesive off. Obviously, I have not experimented with this. I've only trolled tint blogs (yeah that exists).
Hey Apollo Falcon! Any update on your tinting dilemma?

The summer heat is not far off here in AZ and I need to figure out what I'm going to do about tinting my windows.

Thanks!

Nice.

I have the same leather trim option to replace the shiny black plastic. Looks good with my full leather interior with Racing Yellow Carrera T Interior Package.

Someone posted elsewhere that they had their shipping spacers on over a year until finding out during tire replacement they where never removed.

The T drove/felt a lot better after these spaces came off

Thank you
Greg

I'm new to this. Whereabouts do I look for this? Mine arrives in a month...

HI, I don't think you can see these red stops unless the car is on a lift, repeat my story to shop manager and make sure these are off the car during their delivery prep(make them show you 4 of these have been removed), I had read somewhere online that a 911 owner had these on for a year before the dealer noticed them.

Love that! Thanks for sharing!

Won’t stop me from fitting a louder exhaust and boosting my manual T to 480bhp though!
