Here’s what my TYD looks like..


My docking date went from 2/26-3/1 to now 3/4. I’ll try to bury myself at work and not look at this for 10 days.
(Who am i kidding)

Yes, good luck with that. I'll do the same and look at it once per day instead of 2 - 3 times.

Well, TYD changed just changed my delivery date back to 3/12. +7 days. Not the best news, but it could be worse. If only I had a SA that kept me informed, advocated, or even responded to my inquiries. Oh well.. maybe there will be a better way to do this in the future. I'm still excited about the car.

For those of you that have received Production Pics, did you receive them when you were at this stage:



Or this stage?

I received my single production pic after the car was already at the Emdem port. It varies. There is no rhyme or reason to TYD. Some folks don't receive their photos at all. TYD is just a tease IMO. Car gets here when it gets here. Nice spec by the way.

My delivery date was pushed back a month. However, they must have known what they were doing. It's now on my birthday!

Love that! I would love to have the green, but my wife made me keep it tame. First-world problems.

Thanks!! I was actually really nervous about python green. I have sapphire blue metallic now, and this will be my first green car. Although I like shark blue, it wasn't available when I ordered in September. Im glad I didn't wait, because I don't know if you can get the aerokit anymore.. I don't have regrets about the color now though, because the videos I've seen of python green look stunning. I'll post pics!

It looks like you went bold on the inside and you get the gloss black versus the matt black with your aero. So, that's cool. I went back and forth on the clear tail lights and sport design side skirts. To keep on that tangent, I really wanted the side skirts but was afraid of rock damage and potential scrapes going in at an angle. So, I opted for the standard rocker panels with black plastic. I noticed that the rocker panel paint on my car is good for hiding and touching up the minor rock chips.

Anyways, nice build, and congrats!

My original build was black with the aero kit. I live in the country, so the constant dirt build-up made me return to GT Silver (same as my current 991.2 C4 GTS).

I opted for the gloss black aero kit (as you stated) and the carbon mirrors and roof. I will be painting my wheels black, once I receive the car.

One of these days, I'll go bold with my color!

Do it (next time)! That's one of things I love about Porsche. They are willing to offer some bold colors and choices to personalize your car if you want to.. all backed by a warranty.

Yup, word on the street is since GT cars release the aerokit is no longer available on standard model or S/4S etc. Again: word on the street. I can tell you from personal experience (CXX) if you push hard enough, you get what you want and what your wallet can hold....

PS. Great spec, both cars gentlemen...!!
