90% chance that it’s waiting for carbon doors and the car is still at Stuttgart.

Hoping the car is sitting in Leipzig waiting for a simple chip!

Doors don’t appear to be the issue, unless they didn’t put one on the other side

Anyone thinking of an aftermarket exhuast? I've had the Akra headers and center delete titanium system on my 991 Touring... sounded awesome but it was LOUD. Or for those who've heard the stock exhaust - sounds perfectly fine? Also my Akra exhaust dropped a reasonable amount of weight as well.

Yup, as expected, your car is missing the front fender carbon piece.

Many ST are produced missing either the door or the little front fender piece. On cars without the carbon doors, they are temporarily using a regular GT3 door to get the cars shifted through assembly. When the door actually arrives, they will swap out the doors.

We have nearly colour matched the OEM Heritage decals, so ill Strip off all OEM PPF inc stone guards, PPF full coverage, double up PPF in exposed areas

Ill nearly be ready in a week or so to show you guys the finished car, super stoked and cant wait to drive
Yes I hear you. I get my cars paint corrected, PPF'd and then ceramic coated. I was thinking, I might have to take all the decals off but I want to preserve those as this is so special car (I have a special number with decal). I will have to discuss with my PPF guy but I am good 6-7 months away

I ordered Akra's full exhaust system for my ST.

Looks like you and I are 6 days apart and I believe we are also in the same area

Personal choice, but I think the PORSCHE script on the doors is little passé. Everyone knows that’s a Porsche. GT4 RS type side script is discrete and meaningful.

The front splitter is plastic. This isn’t attached until PDI or sometimes at the port. Same has been true on all of my 992 builds.



EDIT: ohhh you’re talking about the bit behind the wheel on the FENDER. I totally missed that. Yep, missing on many of the TYD photos.

My contact at the factory told me the carbon doors are the main issue along with the wing(fender) parts. I would be extremely surprised if Porsche would build a car and paint it, then fit the doors later which of course would have to be painted separately. Apart from the hassle in doing that, in most colours it would result in mismatched colours under close inspection. The front fender part could be painted separately as it doesn't really join the body so minor mismatches would be hard to notice.
