Congrats on the car! It looks great!
And welcome to the Rennlist forums - there's plenty of lighthearted ribbing here - don't let it bug you, it's all in fun.
And you'll learn stuff here, especially from STG who I think actually does know everything there is to know.
No! Please come here first! You'll get more answers than you can shake a stick at! Half of them won't even be sarcastic!
As far as mods go, I agree with what was posted above - I wouldn't paint the calipers red.
One simple cosmetic mod a lot of people like is to swap out the amber sidelights with some clear LED ones (they still light up amber). It's an easy swap you can do yourself - you can order them here if your dealer can't get them.

Richris1, you'll be just fine around here. Most would have shriveled up already. Hey, maybe its a GT3 Touring? Could you still be confused. Go do 9,000 rpm, and report back. You don't even need to wait for the oil to hit 180.

I’m not going to be the guy on the forum who boasts about anything, glory days, etc....
If asked, I’ll certainly share any knowledge, or answer questions I have a knowledgeable answer for....
But to address your comment...yes..I’ve owned several, along with several other similar brands, supercar or two, etc....![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)

Thank you! But again.... wasn’t wondering why I didn’t have new model. Was wondering, because I didn’t see any articles, internet stories, etc...saying the current model will be badged as a 2019. The only thing I remember seeing was the changes for the “2019” model. But all the articles, internet stories, were only information thru Aug/Sept. I guess I definitely picked my wording wrong 😫
***more clarification....I was shopping 2018 and 2019 models...I didn’t care either way

Porsche Web site does not specify model year or tell you that the current configurator for 911 Carrera is 991.2. (It is, but you need to know that from other sources)
Once the 992 is up on the configurator, I doubt very much this will change. You will just have to "know" from other sources, such as this forum, that the 991.2 is no longer able to be custom ordered & now you are custom ordering a 992.

Congrats on the new 911. I live in SRQ also. Flash your lights if you see me....
ps - it doesn't really matter what the model is if you love it. Remember George Costanza? "It's not a lie if you believe it's true"

We really need to be kinder, and more helpful to first-time RL posters. Good thing Richris1 has strong intestinal fortitude.
