Amazing. Congrats! And icing on the cake when I saw that glorious manual! 400 HP N/A + manual + PSE is pure bliss. And like you said, this chassis is so inherently refined, it’s still (far too, if you ask me) extremely civilized.

I traveled across country to nab mine and it too turned out to be an amazing journey. By far my favorite and most adventurous car buying experience. Was like a taste of paradise to purchase a taste of paradise.

Any thougths?
My suggestion is if you need a plate in the front, and the bracket is already drilled and mounted on the front bumper, just keep it there and live with it. The tow hitch versions always look silly because they're off center. I think it attracts more attention than when it's mounted in the standard (middle position). Plus you'd have to repair your front bumper once you take the bracket off. I say just let it be.

Congrats!

I have heard good things about Tint King, but I would just have Rick at UCC in Andover, MA do everything if you are also looking for paint correction, ceramic, etc. He is a nice guy, one of the top detailers in the country, and reasonably priced considering the quality of services.

You are now ready for the track since you bought a "race car" I run with the NER PCA and highly recommend them (especially for beginners) if you want to actually explore the 911's capabilities.

Good Idea. I am going to get all that done, PPF, Paint Correction, Ceramic Coating and Tint.
I was looking at Northeast Auto Salon in Hudson NH. They do all of the above except for tinting. https://www.northeastautosalon.com/about-us-1/
Have you heard if they are good?

Thanks

I have not heard of them (or do not recall), but that does not mean anything.

Rick at UCC will be the overwhelming recommendation from everyone in New England.
