Official waiting room for those with a new 991.2 on order --- come on in !!

Waiting no more (well almost)!
We picked up our 2017 991 C2 at the Atlanta PEC today. I will post about the experience in another thread. Short version: much fun!
Some car specs:
GT silver metallic
Black/Bordeaux full leather
MT (!!!)
19 inch wheels
14-way seats
I made the order on October 21, 2016. The car arrived in the U.S. on January 17 and had PDI completed on January 25. I probably could have picked up the car at the dealer (Porsche North Houston) at least a few weeks ago, but Atlanta PEC was worth the wait.
Now I have one more short wait. At the end of the day, we sent the car away for Xpel installation. We should get it back tomorrow, and then start driving home.

Gorgeous car. You are a patient man to be able to wait 4 weeks for this beauty! Mine is landing at Jacksonville in May, so I might have to skip PEC delivery in order to enjoy summer driving.
Are you using any PPF installer near Atlanta? I will appreciate your recommendations on price / good installers in the area.
Thanks!

My Targa GTS build ended up at $191,000 CDN so I think $30,000 in options is reasonable.

It won't be long for me (although I typically prefer to buy slightly used cars). I currently have a 991.1 C2S and have previously had 997.1 TT, 997.2 TT and 997.2 TTS. I have to say that the allure of being able to tune a turbo car so much more inexpensively and effectively along with the glorious seat of the pants enjoyment of low end torque more or less make my switch to the 991.2 invevitable. Plus that 60's/70's center exhaust touches an emotional sweet spot.

So still waiting. Car has been at davisville since February 6th. I got Porsche NA involved yesterday. I was told by the GM at my dealership that the car would be at the dealership last week (after a month hold up on RI) No one can tell me what the hold up is. I did a quick search online and there is a very similar car with a manual transmission in driving distance. Basically the only difference is no pse. If I don't have my car by next week I'm asking for my deposit back and going to the competing dealership

I have a Targa GTS on order. Dealer just let me know that I have to cancel the Sportdesign rear spoiler as Porsche has let them know that it is not available for my production date. I have to go to the regular spoiler.

Very glad some super looking cars are making it in to the hands of new owners. Boy some of the delays I read about have got to be brutal! From walking into my dealer until getting my car, a 2017 TTS Cab (no PTS or LTS), was about 8 months, 4 for an allocation slot and then 4 for it to be built and delivered. However, since it was delivered after the snow started to fall in Calgary, I just tuked it away in storage for the rest of the winter. Not sure what is worse not having the car, or having it and not driving it? I do know they are more than capable of winter conditions, when you put on the proper tires. None of my sports cars have seen the snow, maybe I'm OCD on the issue?

Shine Auto Salon in Alpharetta (NE or Atlanta) did an excellent job installing Xpel, and squeezed us into their schedule so we could start our drive home the day after the PEC delivery. Price was negotiated through our home dealer as part of the new car purchase.
