Default My first Porsche home at last (2017 991.2 C4S)

I've been mostly posting in the Awaiting 991.2 forum for the last few months. I picked up my car on Friday, took it to the detailing shop for protective film and finally got it back today (and then had to fly out for work...). So far have only put on 70-80 miles, but loved it! Not coming from earlier Porsches, or heck any sports cars, I have nothing to compare it to, but so far the handling feels great, the seats and leather are nice, and I'm really happy with the way the color combo turned out.

I did get the clear side markers and had those installed along with the Rho Plate version 2 for the front license plate. Overall, really looking forward to getting home on Saturday and driving. Here are some quick pictures I got in my driveway before I had to leave. More when I get a chance to take some nicer pictures. Thanks to everyone who posted about various options and accessories, incredibly helpful to someone new.

I will post more impressions when I get a chance.

Very tasteful beautiful C4S configuration!
Especially like the red gauges!.-Richard
Did you use the Narrow Extender Rho Plate Mount as specified on the website?

You clearly put a lot of thought and effort into your interior design. I think it looks great!


The Bordeaux gages, deviated stitching and leather interior just looks nice with silver.

Awesome car!! Looks like a superhero! Not sure where you're located in MA but there's a group of us in Sudbury if you ever want to get out for a run.

Love the wheels. Nice to see that they look better IRL than on the configurator.

Beautiful! I have a smilier color scheme on the way and now I'm extra excited now that I see yours.
Skip the front plate and pay the fine!
