Have the Porsche in all 3 (T, GT3, Cayenne). Put them in as soon as I bought the cars and put the pretty carpet mats on a shelf. I play tennis on clay courts and the rubber mats are so easy to clean, look terrific and are cheap. When I sell a car I put the original “new” mats in and makes a great visual impact.
also most Porsche dealers will sell you the mats for the same price as Suncoast without a shipping charge, you just have to ask.

I have always done the same, my AMG mats stay under the trunk mat. For the T the oem mats with carrera T package are unique and displaying them by using them would be the right thing, I do clean my mats every week

Thanks for sharing. Great read. It was 10 degrees celsius here in Toronto today. I took the cover off our T, unplugged the battery maintainer, backed out of the garage and went for an afternoon drive. Priceless.

My Porsche.com build code summary as a printed PDF
My purchase paperwork and warrantees
My window (Not for sale) sticker
My Euro deliver paperwork and shipping transport documents
Numerous photos of my car during the deliver and first drive, numerous photos like those I have posted to show modifications I have made
Receipts for all parts and goodies
Service paperwork
Today, based on this article, I also decided to print from my browser a number of the good web articles about the Carrera T (First drives, reviews, etc). As I was not sure if many years from now these things would be around to talk about and show....
I'm curious if anyone else is getting into the car scrapbooking aspects of ownership, and do you have items that you have included?
I am considering the Certificate of Ownership from PCA, and have most of the form filled out, except for the engine and gearbox numbers. I have yet to find a way to report these that don't involve a service technician. Any advise?
Thanks

I feel like when the T was first introduced everyone trashed it for not being light enough or true to the original. People made fun of the weight saving, ignoring the most important aspects. Now everyone is praising it for being so cohesive. Seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. Just saying.

it came down to T vs S, as I wanted certain things which the base did not offer. More top end power was not at the top of my list and I can always put a tune on for a little more.
i spec’d both as I wanted, heavily loaded with options. Both were priced equally. At the end I just liked the T and its little quirks and uniqueness a little bit more. Still ended up with the most expensive spec’d T built to date, but I got everything I wanted.

COA application questions
Hi T fans,
I'm in the process of filling out the Certificate of Authenticity application for my Carrera T, and the form asks me to provide the VIN (yep, easy) and both the engine and trans/gear box numbers. I'm not really sure where I need to look in my paperwork, manual, or on the car to get these additional numbers. I have read that if I leave these blank on the application, that the document that Porsche returns will not include the numbers, but if I do state them both, then the completeness of the document would also include them.
Anyone know of a simple way to get these values that don't involve the disassembly of my car? The examples I found on Google seem to show photos of the engine or transmission removed from the car, and indicators of where you can read the values after removal.

Glenn, I would check with the dealer. I'm sure it's in their system somewhere or they could pull it. Maybe they can even order the CoA for you.
After about a month of ownership, I received a framable certificate from PCNA. You may be satisfied with just that.
