Smile First Time Porsche Owner

I ordered a Porsche back on Jun 6th. It's my first Porsche and I'm really excited to drive my new car all year round - sun, rain, wind and snow.... super excited. The emblem badge has been removed, it could be a base Carrera. Its a wide body car, so it could be a 4 or GTS. It has 450hp, so it could be an S with powerkit or a GTS. I wanted as much performance as I could get so I have 450hp, PDCC, PSE, PCCB, RAS, SC. Put in a splash of yellow dials to remind me of my prior cars yellow tachometer. Winter is coming fast in Minnesota, so I put on winter wheels and tires. To keep it as protected as possible in summer, winter and track, I wrapped the entire car in Xpel Ultimate Plus. I have a roof rack that will be installed next week to carry snowboard, cross country skis, mountain bike and road bike. My goal is to have a car that makes it fun to go have fun. I have a lot to learn about Porsche, so I will be asking questions, and sharing what I learn. Here are pictures from today picking up my car.

It looks like your hood stripes are crooked.

Now I'm thinking I really do need racing stripes.

Definitely took me a second to realize they weren't stripes. Winter sun!
