FWIW, my Service Advisor says you can go by the mileage for most items...

I have seen a few post where guys introduce their new to them 991 here so rather than a new thread here is my new to me 14 S. In a week or so of ownership I have replaced the battery, changed the oil, replace a side marker lamp, replaced the hood shocks, cleaned cleaned cleaned....... going to get the computer scanned this afternoon to just see what all has been going on over its short life. Last water cooled was a 996 and I still have my late Dad's 996 to sell. This car is light years ahead of those and I really like it. This one has been lowered already and the stance seems perfect to me, otherwise stock. Let the fun begin. Thanks

Curious to know if you bought without the P O R S C H E lettering in the back or just removed them.

2013 with 17,800. Build date is March 2013. Whenever I get a 911 I do the plugs, oil+filter, serpentine, bleed brakes, cabin filters, new battery and air filters so everything is done together. For reference, the belt looked near perfect, as did the plugs, and air filters. I also did a full three stage paint correction, adding new floor mats, and popped in some clear corners Here is a pic of one of the plugs, they all looked identical and excellent as well as the post paint correction (Dark Blue Metallic):

Thanks for responding to my previous question... Now I have another one LOL.. I used Chemical guys V32, 34, 36 and 38, then Zymol Rouge, then Collinite to correct my paint but it didn't come out as good on some parts... I assume the aluminum parts behave different. What did you use to correct your paint?

Aspheric mirrors purchased and installed. Works awesome! Shout out and thanks to WhipE350 and WG!
Gotta get a little used to them initially, but after you do, they are great. The other great thing about them is you no longer have the "Objects look closer than they appear" crap warning in the right side mirror!

Thanks! It was ordered with the rear lettering deleted but I plan on putting just the Porsche lettering back on painted platinum satin like the wheels are from the factory. A little too plain back there for me.

I use all Meguiars products. For this I did an initial cutting with Meguiars (DA 6") Microfiber cutting pad with Meguiars correction compound (Pink stuff D3000) and then onto a Meguiars polishing microfiber pad and DA polishing compound, then finally Meguiars DA finishing pad and finishing compound. All from DA series. Stuff works wonders. It's amazing.

I plan to go back with M100 and microfiber (including a new kind, URO Fiber) to see if that has more bite. Ever used that product? Curious how the M100 compares to D300.

You can order one without the model designation but not without "PORSCHE" so it must have been removed. Plenty of places online to get it though and don't be afraid to go with a different color.

GT2/GT3 PDK lever and striped PDK trim for my 991.2 TTS.
Lever in black leather to match the rest of the interior.
The striped trim is most likely from Exclusive Series.
Both from Suncoast.

Given that you had the trim in hands, do you think there's an easy way to separate the part with the stripes from the rest of the trim?

I was thinking about getting the stripped PDK trim and get the stripes painted in Miami Blue to match the exterior color of my C4S.
