Paint Protection
For people who are placing orders are you getting the factory installed Protection Film? Does anyone know what product they are using and if so what has your experience with this product been?

This will be interesting to see play out. People have been asking for this for many years. Especially owners doing Euro Delivery. Wonder if it will be wrapped edges? How will this be regarding the paint curing before the film goes on? What happens in 4 years when you want to replace & refresh.....will the paint come off with the film??? No paint correction under the film, how will that be????
I'm sure Porsche will select a quality film. The BIGGER questions (to me) are some that I listed, and the overall work quality, not the actual film itself.

But a few good craftsman just got new jobs at Porsche.

I wonder the same questions you have LexVan. Also, I'm wondering how much of the front will be covered. Will it be the entire front clip or just half hood and bumper? If they use anything similar to what they use on the rocker panels (front of rear wheel), that's no good.

I agree (LexVan), but you ever know. For that price, you can get the entire front clip, a pillars, partial roof, rocker panels, and behind rear wheels done (at a quality shop). I was quoted 2700 for all that. We'll see in time. I won't be in the market at least until the 992.2, so plenty of time.

I think this program only really makes sense for the EU delivery customers, and Porsche is not willing to leave an easy money grab on the table.

Very true. I didn't do European delivery because I couldn't see myself worrying about rock chips as well as the break-in period.

The initial reviews when someone gets it will be valuable.
I'm a European Delivery guy. Two so far. Planning my next one.

For guys that want paint correction I would say this is a non-starter no way Porsche is doing correction. I would guess only a small percent of buyers actually do paint correction. I’ve had 5 Porsche’s in 5 years and they were fine in my view, but I know some specialist would find something to fix.
