Very confident in the numbers. I did mess up the WW though... Numbers are only for PCNA and PCL (Canada) cars. Sorry for the confusion... That said, the 2018s are done and those numbers stand. In the end it was only 285 for PCNA. You were very close with your estimates, considering you were only hand jamming them! Well done! Lower actual figure just makes it even more sweet IMO.
More added to the 2019 list overnight (to include my own!!!), so up to 302 total now (276 for 'murica!).... Am betting more 2019 builds than 2018, given a few months of production left, of course.
No idea what the WW figures are, but we'll know eventually and, in the end, pretty low numbers marque.
My jury is still out on a 992 T as well. Particularly given the Cayman variant to be out shortly. So, in the end, I remain confident this is a worthy successor to previous purist (read CS) marques...

RE a 992 T, one of my motivations was specifically to get the current body style. I wanted a “911” body style as opposed to the Cayman, and favored a narrow bodied car. It looks like 992s will all be wide body. The 991.2 T checks all my check boxes!

Same here - It checked everything for. Special Model, I wanted Base Engine, I wanted extra options offered in S etc. etc.

Exactly. Although, I do like the wide body on some models of the 911, I prefer the classic silhouette of the narrow body.

Sure, the company in the U.K. is Classic FX. classiccarrestotationsurrey.com.uk

The best part is that their pricing is a fraction of the other sources. Check out their installation video on YouTube as well. Very nice people and easy to work with.
All the best, Rick

I know this has been brought up a million times and I've read all the posts here and other threads, but I am curious as to what you guys have done to your T as far as PPF.
1. No PPF
2. Partial/Front PPF only
3. Full PPF

I'm torn and really just want to see what most of you are doing. I don't want to deal with taking the Porsche emblems off the back and having a new set put over the PPF (I don't care who you are, they'll never go on in exactly the same spots again unless you have the Porsche template), so full wrap is probably out. Also, the cost is a bit too much, when you consider it needs to be replaced within 10 years or so. I won't be tracking, so it may just be partial or none.

cheers

None for me. I don't plan on flipping and like scars...

Personally, no PPF on my T. Mine’s a daily driver and my sole car. Picked up in April and done 8,656 miles already. So no point in wrapping the car in cotton wool. It’s a car and is designed to be driven. Mine lives outside too, so definitely no garage queen. In my opinion, if the car needs a bit of touching up at trade in time, the cost of such work is unlikely to exceed what I would have spent on PPF. Just my view.

I like this! I'm not getting rid of it for many years (if ever), and I'm starting to come to terms with having a few scratches/scars.

2. full hood, full front, full front fenders... rear fender stone guards. I don't think the original stripes are covered, nor removed.

When mine arrives, I'll drive it, I'll wash it, wax it, drive it, etc... No PPF.

Interesting answers so far. I expected more guys going the full front PPF route. But...I like it!

Full front on mine. It’s already taken a number of hits on our gravelly Montana roads with at least one breaking through and chipping the paint.

No PPF on mine. I am going to wrap the whole car for a bit for promotional purposes but after I remove it I dont plan on PPF. Just drive it and enjoy it!!!

I'm surprised to see more folks getting no PPF at all. From other threads it always seems like most get some type of partial PPF.
