Funny the first thing I did was remove the "GTS" side logos. To me stickers like that just cheapen the car.
Before
After
Starting to agree. Ill let it be for a bit. Plus I'm worried about not aligning the stickers perfectly. Anyone who knows cars will recognize the center locks and PCCBs (and maybe the wide body) and know its special. Anyone who doesn't, the GTS stickers would be lost anyways.

Just one thing: silver is not "boring". Silver is timeless and classic. The first Porsche was silver, and I will bet the last one will be silver. Now, I do enjoy colors for 911s, and like many generations of new palettes for each decade. But they do look dated after years go by. Meanwhile, silver endures!
I agree. In sunlight, GT is a very dynamic color. But I was looking for Carmine, which is VERRRRRY different. And considered a nice PTS Voodoo Blue as well. Too much color for me.

Do it. No time like the present. Its the most amazing car I've been in. Superlative.

Lets not forget, it is a forgiving color, and keeps looking nice weeks after a wash under most circumstances.
Excellent choice and congrats. Wonderful car- enjoy it to the max.
It (plus the full body XPEL) has been a cinch to take care of.

I do recognize that car. He kept saying his buddy would've bought it but he had a new R8...So I owe you a beer!

. Are you in PA? I'm in New Hope, PA.
No, the car was outside of Philly. I got a Pennsylvania temp tag, but im in KY. I was curious about the redditor. Figured they'd be on here!. Nice car

If 2020 shows you anything - carpe diem. And the nice thing about USED porsches is they hold value. Unlike a regular car which depreciates to 10% of its purchase price, a 100k 991 should be worth 60-70k in 5 years. there are much worse investments.

I drove a S and honestly it was amazing. I just wanted the wide body and rear axle steering. I was close to giving up and 'settling' on a S. I just wanted the big dog and found it. No wrong answers

Love your black PORSCHE letters across the silver paint, and the clean doors. I wouldn't change a thing. Keep the mystery alive.
Is that voodoo blue? I considered one. Love the body color lettering. My car has much more presence in person, sometimes the little details can get lost on a screen. The CF sport mirrors help.
Welcome to the .2 GTS club! I bought mine ~5 months ago and since then, its best 2k miles I have ever driven. I too am thinking about adding the back badges to mine, let me know where you source them (research has shown me dealer is the best bet - outside of cost)
