Great looking car, and it makes me smile to see these Carrera Ts appreciated by real-deal enthusiasts. Enjoy!

Small world, I had looked at this car and was seriously discussing it with my wife when I went back it was gone! I am glad to see it find such a nice new home.

I'm glad your wife talked you out of it, mine was not so enthusiastic during the process, but now she loves the color..and the Car !

Thank you, I have noticed the stares already, one guy in my neighborhood literally stopped in his tracks and stared as I slowly drove by.
Did you notice I took your advice with the Clear marker lenses?

Thank you Mr. Stout, your review and enthusiasm of this car is what pushed me over the edge into buying this Carrera T !!
BTW...my first mod was a black 000 sticker on the rear glass

I acted pretty fast once I realized I could do the color, plus the options were exactly what I was looking for.

Congrats my man!

That's ok. It's a great color against those Colorado Rockies.

Fantastic story and outcome!

I'm ok with you letting the 996 go. Ha ha.

Enjoy it in good health.

Glad you are still enjoying the Turbo S, that car is so quick. My favorite memory of this car was driving to SLC one time, we passed 2 cars on a remote stretch of Hwy and they were literally 3/4 of a mile back when I got back in the lane. Enjoy that Rocket !!

Stopped into see the progress on PPF and rocker script. Think it's coming along well.

Couldn't decide if I liked the factory Carrera T script, sometimes yes, mostly no. So removed it, and went with different script. Full front clip PPF too.
Had to change the script color once. Looked fine as a direct match to wheels and Agate Grey mirrors, but looked black down low, even in the sun-light.

Looks better now..

Congrats!

I much prefer colors that stand out (guards red, racing yellow) for a Porsche than a generic black, white or silver.

Ditto, and it would great with a custom hood crest - someone else did one with Yellow and it looked amazing.

Congrats! I love yellow. I have a yellow S4 and S2000 and thinking about my next 911 being yellow. It works.

Wing,
You carried the torch for all of us that might have considered yellow and those of us that did. I read all your threads about your T, and those photos helped to convince me on color.
Your car is a stunner !

Cheers

Headed down to Arizona today in the Carrera T.

Car will spend the winter in Scottsdale & the California desert. Hope to get some good miles on the car during the winter & spring.
Nice alternative to looking at my car in the garage, with snow and gravel on the roads until May!
