Thanks for all the positive feedback. Alstoy- I went with PS because I saw it on the 991 at the IAA in Frankfurt and liked the way it showed off the lines and curves of the car. My wife wanted me to get black or dark blue, but I had to go silver for my first 911. Here are a couple more pics from the day I picked it up at the dealer. Clear side markers are on the way....

I'm sorry, but that's just a damn good looking car. I honestly don't understand what the people who are complaining about the 991's looks are talking about....

looks good, do the break in like you would normally drive, hard break in means less oil consumption down the line!

emode: very nice 991!!
The -20 PASM really adds to the overall stance of the car: nice & aggressive! Also the front lip adds another nice element.
Enjoy!!

Love the painted badging! You just made waiting for my platinum silver 991 with PASM a little harder! Nice pics. Thanks for posting.

Btw, what is the hardware attachment points under the license plate in the rear. Is is center mount for the license plate and a tab to keep it level? Almost looks like tow hook attachment point?

Any interior pics of this beauty of a car?

It is where you screw in the tow hook.

I couldn't agree more with Mike... I think the 991 is a great looking automobile and as someone who is partial to silver Porsches let me just say... stunning car.

Congrat's to the OP. Many happy, safe miles.

I'd love to see some pictures of the interior, if that's possible.

Could you please post some pictures of the manual sport plus seats? I have included them in my 991S build and I am curious what they are like. I have only seen and tried the Adaptive ones.

The car is currently in the shop having paint protection film installed (Xpel Ultimate full hood and fenders) so I can't take any photos of the interior or seats at the moment. Regarding the manual sport plus seats, they work well and I'm not regretting foregoing the adaptives. Fore and aft adjustments are made via a handle under the right side of each seat and seat height and backrest adjustments are power- see the scan below from the owner's manual.

Btw, does anyone know if the upload limit can be increased? I'm getting errors when I try to attach more photos....

Thanks, emode. I tried sitting in the adaptives and they fit me well. Since I will be the only driver, I decided to not pay for the all electric adjustability of the seats. Manual fore-and-aft is fine with me. The only drawback is no front cushion extension that comes with the adaptives. How is the leather quality? Perhaps you could post some pics when you get the car back? Thx again.
