Default My 2016 GTS Cab has arrived!

Love it! I learned so much from this forum before placing my order. Thank you all! I took delivery on December 4th from Gaudin Porsche of Las Vegas. Gaudin provided my courtesy delivery, since I ordered my vehicle from Porsche of Anchorage. They treated me like I was their best customer! I chose the ventilated seats for the warm desert climate in the Palm Springs area, hence the Alacantara delete. Very happy with the look of the two-tone leather interior. The Burmester stereo sounds exceptional, especially when playing SACD’s, even with the top down. 1,600 miles so far, mostly in sport mode. My previous Porsche was a 2001 996 Turbo manual. The 991’s are certainly more refined. The GT-4 in some of the attached photos belongs to a friend.
I replaced the front side lights with the clear LED version. I have a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports that I snagged from Tire Rack this fall when they were briefly available, but they have not been install. I also have the Rennline front grill screens waiting for installation.

Stunning. I haven't made a final decision on ordering a .2, but if I do I'm getting your color combo. It's great to see real life pics. Post more when you get a chance.

They come chrome. Looks like he ordered them in black to match headlights.

Unless the GTS come in black as standard. Look great regardless.

Right.

It was a joke, based on the completeness of the options he ordered...hence the "LOL". I was quickly reaching for a low cost option he hadn't selected. Little did I realize he had optioned them in a custom color. No trick missed!

Kumba-ya.

Good catch BingoWest. I made a mistake. I had selected the headlight cleaners in the exterior color, but at some point the box got unchecked. It was the first thing I noticed when I saw the car. LOL! I am going to live with them in black for a while. I did struggle with leaving the seat backs silver, but I like the look, with the similar exterior paint color.

Very nice. I think the silver seat backs look good in this combo. Burmester in a cab is lovely...

The nicest color combo on a cab I have seen. Congratulations!

Are you driving that back to Alaska?
