All the pictures are of one and the same car, my car. Lighting and location is different, that's all.

14" not bad at all. I know it can't go all the way back like the old 996 targa windows did.


But it will be nice.

Yes. Surprising large opening for a compact car of this size. The opening is noticeably wider and deeper than BMW 3 series.

I'm stuck between white and GT Silver. If white I was considering metal sunroof. If GT Silver I'd do a glass roof. Thoughts?

The dark glass roof contrasts with any light color. It looks v good, in my opinion, on White or Silver.

I just ordered my GT Silver yesterday with no sunroof. That being said I would go with the glass if I wanted one.

Oregon Highway is the name of the vessel that my 911 is on. Possibly yours too. Click the link in my post and it will make more sense.

I had the same decision, but since my Cayman is white, I went with the GT silver. This used to be a big bucks paint upgrade, right?

Duh. Okay, lol! I can be dense at times. I doubt my car is on that ship. It was scheduled for completion today, but another forum friend told me it was probably finished a couple days early. I wonder if they could put it in the ship that quickly?

Mine, like yours was "supposed" to exit production today but it's on a boat!


So given that we both had 10/21 V270 I'd say it is very likely we are on the boat together. Ask your SA.

Wow, thanks for that. I did ask and said he would let me know... but in the same email, he told me that he was swamped today. If that's the case, it could be a birthday present on 3 November!!
