Please post up more pictures of your car! I'm thinking of a similar build and I'm trying to convince myself to go with the 19's instead of the 5 spoke 20's. I love the look of your car. I'm likely to do a Carrera 4 hardtop, regular exhaust with the sport tips, GTSilver and 19's.

I love the base wheels, especially on darker colors, but still on the fence. They do offer more winter options and I assume a slightly better ride, but I figure I could always just get a set of 19 winter wheels.

Thanks for the compliment. As requested...

Here's some pics from collection day. Some more internal ones to follow.
Great color combination. Looks awesome with black PSE. Do not have this option yet in the US.

Had the gloss black wheels and gloss black PSE tailpipes painted at the dealership. The black tailpipes are still not an official Porsche option.

Me too. Love Agate, Blk/Bordeaux after seeing it at the dealership on a Turbo. Very classy.

WELL! At long last, my 4S Coupe is complete! Now waiting to board a ship. My dealership will get me the name of the ship to track and I will bring the information to the forum for your review.

Folks, from experience, how long is the "actual" wait from time it gets to the port in germany till the time it gets to your dealer (if there are no delays)?

See attached!

Going to Port of DAVISVILLE, RI - Forgive me, but is that the same as NORAD?

Three weeks? Oh boy.

Post-weekend scramble update: dealer indicates that my build is expected to enter the body shop around Nov 15th.

From what I can read online, the wait time from "entering the body shop" to a west coast delivery is around 6-8 weeks. Does that sound about right to you guys?

Assuming the longer end of the range, because holidays and who knows what else, would put me at mid-to-late January. If everything comes up Millhouse, dad has a pretty great Christmas present.

My '16 C2S Cab actually arrived at Emden on 7/23/15 and then at the dealership (Massachusetts) on 8/19/15. My 991.2 is scheduled to arrive in Emden on 11/4 and at the dealership on 12/16.

Hope this is helpful.
