For any meaningful detail you'll need to check Marine Traffic or other sites to see exactly where the ships are and their next stop, etc.
Great timing. As of today TYD shows that my car is in transit to port Emden to get shipped to Houston, TX. I took a look at the spreadsheet and it looks like it will get on Bishu Highway which is departing on September 17th and arriving in Houston on October 6th. TYD shows it will get into Houston on October 22nd so that will put me ahead of the overall schedule (if it all works out).

It’s a ‘22, so they’re matte. You can see it in the YouTube video.

I don't remember 100%, but I think they were. I dropped the car off for PPF right after getting it so I haven't had the time to really go through the car in detail yet. The center panels next to the gear lever are also still high gloss black. I was under the impression that was supposed to change with MY22 to a matte finish.

Oh snap, this is you? I just saw that video earlier today but didn't realize it was your car. Congrats, it's a beauty and I love all your gloss selections. Also, kudos to you for picking one of the "flashy" colors instead of the white/silver/black crowd.

Would love to get your feedback on working with De Pooter and that dealership. Feel free to post here or send me a DM please.

My experience was pretty great overall. I was recommended them from a close friend who was able to get a GT4 allocation from them early this year. Upon calling the AD which happened to be the same one my friend used, I told him what I was looking for. He explained to me that the aerokit's were done for 2021, but if I was willing to put a deposit down, I would be first in line for a 2022 C2S. I did that back in March-April, I was called a month or so later with the MY22 allocation. Overall the entire process was very easy and straightforward. All the individuals that took care of me today were professional and personable. Mine was MSRP, which I feel fortunate to have gotten in this market.

Mr. De Pooter was not my personal AD, but I met him today (very positive and nice guy) at pick up and he asked if it would be ok to shoot the video. They also told me this was the first 2022 they had received.

As a side note, they are part of the Braman Motor Group. I have dealt with Braman BMW in the past, and my experience was horrible. These guys on the Porsche side were a breath of fresh air compared to them.

Was your car built from the factory with the clear side markers? Or did you pay extra to have the dealer do that for you for pick up?

meantime my curiosity is killing me.. is your username because your name is Leonidas, you're actually from Sparta, or just a fan of the movie? 🙂
