Well, My Targa 4S build has been approved (again). After several weeks of back and forth between, me, the dealer, his rep and Porsche Exclusive, I just received a screen shot from my SA that my build has been approved (V200) today. It will be a long wait, but I was fortunate enough to get approval for both PTS (Viper Green 225) and Leather to Sample (Natural leather in Black). Why pay extra money and wait for LTS in black? There are threads in this forum discussing the details of natural leather, but I wanted it after having it in my TT, but not in Espresso or Espresso/Cognac. I was told at one point that I'm the first person in the US to request LTS in black! I'm either really clever or not very clever at all. Maybe both.
I pre-traded my '16 BGTS on October 14th (it sold - anyone here? Great car). JULY??? Ugh.

Also comforting to see a delivery date further out than mine

Don't care at all until May anyhow. June would have been nice, but my last three orders were all a bit early, so maybe it'll be before the Fourth of July.

I will post pics, but I have no idea how black it will be. I wanted the full thickness hides and didn't want anything to compete with the Viper Green. They offer a natural leather in dark gray, but then I would have had all the black plastic bits to deal with. This way I was able to keep the leather interior options to what I considered important and the non leather bits will be black.

Hi mattbrowne. Great looking car! Love the black on black. Do you have SPASM on the car? I was looking at your front spoiler and I wasn't sure if it was the spoiler you get when you order SPASM or if it was the regular front apron? Cheers

Just got an email from my SA. My C4S is now on board the Adriatic Highway, with an ETA at the port of San Diego of December 23rd. (Plus probably 2 weeks to get it to NorCal and to take delivery.) 
BTW, I've assembled a YouTube playlist entitled What to watch while waiting for your Porsche Carrera 991.2 to arrive. Contains reviews, walk-arounds, commentary, POV drives, all sorts of stuff. 114 videos and several hours of distraction.

I am out of the waiting room. Took delivery yesterday. After arriving in San Diego on Nov 15th it was a long wait to arrive in Oregon. Car arrived on Sat and was a quick turn to deliver to me on Monday. Now at the shop for a few things. Better photos to follow when all complete. Could not be happier.
That is one bad *** long wait. Go drive it and have some fun. Cheers,

Yes it is SPASM. Thanks for the kind words about my car.
