I wanted to clarify that both the GT3 and GTS are spectacular---the price difference obviously was the key difference---I don't want to imply that my 911 S is superior---it just represents the best value to me

You mention your 650i, funny as looked at those today to replace the wife's Jaguar XJ. Nice car.

Congrats again on your 991, you've done well!

You can buy the flat black PORSCHE from the GT3 at Sunset Porsche.

You can also buy everything from BumperPlugs.

Congrats on the car! Very nice. Love the Agate.

Get the "flat/matte" option for the Porsche. Will match the rest.

Then use the "S" from GTS. Then you have Carrera and 911. All letters are separate.

Find someone who knows what they're doing. Not an easy task.

I tinted the windows---I think it looked better stock but the tint does protect the interior---

tint

It is 18% SUNTEK CARBON----I did the front windows which is a frowned upon here in CA---the citation tends to be more heavily enforced in LA Areas versus San Diego Areas. Same for the front license plates(or lack thereof) Driving responsibly tends to avoid an unscheduled meeting with CA finest

I like the contrast of the black windows...I do miss the open, airy feeling of the cabin without the tint.

Cheers

Your car looks great; nice contrast with black rims/ceramic calipers/Agate Grey/dark tint.
Enjoy!

I am having some issues with the 650i---burns @ 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles or less----brakes are not working correctly eitherr---love the looks of the car and it drives well but these problems @ less than 20K are worrysome
