Thx for the nice comments.
Whilst the photos aren't clear, the PORSCHE lettering on the back were sprayed (off car) to match the wheels - they contacted Porsche for the paint code and did the rest
As for the decals, they are showing on the Porsche configurator (US and GmbH versions albeit not UK) and can be ordered/retro added......I'm guessing they'll cost about $250 - for me, they take the eye away from where Porsche added visible length between the edge of the rear wheel and the leading edge of the door (hope this makes sense - you'll see what I mean when compared to the new Boxster)
Couple of mods I'm contemplating - CF front splitter/lip and CF diffuser.
I already have the same wheels from Porsche (normal paint finish this time) with the new Michelin Alpin 4 winter tyres - ready for when it drops to below 7 degress

Congrats on the purchase, a truly amazing car !! Is this your first Porsche ? I would consider some Porsche Tire Totes for your summer tires if you haven't already. Now enjoy it

I do like those tire totes, bargain at $50 !?!? This is actually my 9th 911 of which 2 have been 991's
I purchased a stock Agate/Luxor Beige 991 C2S from my OPC about 9 months ago which was great - traded it for a factory order on the basis my OPC made me an offer I couldn't refuse plus I didn't like the dash colour refelction in the windscreen.
Due to Porsche delays, my OPC lent me a 997.2 GTS4 for two months which was a lot of fun......very nice to go 991 to 997.2 and back to 991 to compare.
I absolutely LOVE the 997.1 & .2 but I'm not sure I could go back now - the wind/tyre noise is too tiering at motorway/highway speeds for me now (either that or I'm just getting old!)

You've had a nice little collection over the years and glad you got the one you wanted, any of them you wish you had back over the years ?

I still keep coming back to either the C2S or C4S, great great cars whether 997.1 or .2 or 991.......C4S is great in terms of secure driving whatever the weather albeit heavy steering until you've gathered a little speed. The C2S is probably my favourite - what a nice problem to have
I drove the new Boxster 3.4S the other day.....very very nice car and I could be tempted, unless you need 4 seats I think this effectively kills the 3.4 991 Carrera and who knows what the new Cayman will do to it.
It took a while to adopt the new 991 when moving from the 997, quite a big change - my only real 991 negative and it maybe a UK specific thing is the price, Porsche seem to have increased pricing by about £6k across the range which I think is pushing it a little.
