Hi everyone - happy to have just joined this forum. I did a build to order at the dealership I used here in southern Cal (Walters Porsche in Riverside). Picked-up my Carrera at the end of June. What a fantastic machine. Don't know a better way to sum it up than that.

Some pics are attached - sorry for the crappy quality (taken from my cell phone).

Looking forward to being a member of this forum. Anyone from the Newport Beach area on here?

Looks amazing! I want my Guards Red, but when I see an awesome black built like this, with these wheels, make me wanna change my mind and go with black

Wonderful car! More pics please

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy that beautiful car in good health!

Thanks very much. The 991's look pretty phenomenal in nearly every color I've seen them in, so it's hard to go wrong My last car was red, and am liking the more understated look that the black offers - as understated as a 991 can be I suppose

I gave my only good DLSR camera to a family member, so once I can find a decent camera will definitely take some more shots.

Really loving this car so far. The perfect balance between performance and yet being pretty comfortable as well. Very happy so far and finding it hard to imagine how Porsche could improve on this - although I'm sure they will.

Considered the S, but honestly driving both models I couldn't really distinguish any major power differences between them. Maybe it's just me, I dunno. So instead I used that $$ for the non-S with nicer wheels and extra creature comforts.

Nice car! I like the look of the clear tail lights on the black car - can't really do it on my car because of the light bar. It does however, make it more urgent that you put the clear side markers on!

Enjoy, and welcome to the forum.

CaliforniaZombie

Thanks. Yeah, I'm really liking the look of the clear tail lights with the black too. A nice clean look. I didn't even realize one could order clear side markers Can they be ordered from Porsche or are they third party?

your dealer certainly has a few sets handy. The clear are the European issue vs. the amber for delivery in U.S.

I got mine from Suncoast Parts. Takes just a few minutes to swap out - easy upgrade.

the clear rear lights work very well with black

Beautiful car. Love the Sport Techno wheels, and also really love the way the clear tail lights contrast with the black.

Love those tail lights!! Looks great! Congrats

JamesKen

That looks nice. I thought the red tail lights looked good on black but your looks even better.

Buy form Suncoast they are a good company.

I would also look for some black out tape for the red lower lights. Someone posted a pic of that and it goes real good with the clear tail lights

I'm a Walter's customer as well. Talk to your salesman or sales manager - they'll GIVE you a set of clear side markers. I'm surprised they let you off the lot without them! My 991S is yellow and I decided I like the yellow side markers better than clear - otherwise I'd have the clear markers as well.

Do you mean the red lower rear reflectors? I agree. You can buy painted exterior color reflectors from BumperPlugs. This will be my 2nd mod when my car arrives in March. The first one being clear corners up front.
