Very nice.

I have 991 clear sidemarkers in stock if you need 'em.

Congrats.

The upside. What's with that bump? This is 2012.

So about that car in your avatar, how does the 991 compare to your previous GTS? There are many (well mostly GTS owners) who feel the GTS might still be a better car in certain aspects, I'm curious to have your impressions having gone from the 997 GTS to a 991 C2S.

Also, congrats on a great looking car!

I know. I ordered them from you on Friday, regular shipping and got them on Monday. Put them on right after the picture

Great service, as usual. Thanks!

i agree. The service guy told me they add quite a few satellite radio modules after the factory and the biggest problem they have is drilling a hole for the antenna in the roof. So they put the the antenna on the dash near the windshield inside or outside on the cowl between the wiper blades at the edge of the hood. Both get good reception so maybe it's a good thing I left it off

I hope nobody's offended by this but... I usually don't like Porsches (any model) in white but I have to be honest... your car looks fantastic. Congrat's.

Many happy, safe miles. Keep the shiny side up!

Agree with Overdraft and Sharpman. I deleted the ugly Sirius XM bump from my order THEE times--dealer always added it thinking it was a mistake. The bump is hideous and the sound quality sucks. iPod is the way. Heck I STREAM radio with better results than SatRadio.
