Then I stay ... I like you guys And I feel your pain .. waiting, tracking boats and trucks. I did so many insane things while waiting - I'm pretty sure I'm #1 on the CIA's "to hire" list ...

The Viking Queen just went around the bottom of Florida, arriving in Houston 11/13, some time in the morning.

Yes they are. On my Beamers I always got them coded to the "European operation" ... let's see if there's a way here, too.

great to see in the wild, we have these on order against Chalk/Crayon exterior.

white looks great, think the tinted headlights are better against a lighter paint for the contrast

Fully agree. Make sure you get the euro side markers - the orange ones look terrible on a white car.

I disagree, tinted lights go well with any exterior color. Light or dark. Light for the contrast as you mentioned, but dark colors also get that black-out or smoked-out effect with tinted lights. I went with the tinted lights with Agate Grey.

Indeed they are nice with any colour, just preference for a light 992, our Macan GTS is volcano grey, so didn’t want a 2nd dark car

Such a subjective thing I guess. For me the chrome ring highlights the oval shape of the lights and it is what makes the car look like a 911. I opted in for PDLS+ just for this reason even though I had a very limited budget.

I guess that is true to the case and reason why Porsche offers so many types and options for the same items. Allows us to create our own standard and preference for perfection.

Looks amazing. Haven't seen too many in white, this is very close to my C4 spec so thanks for sharing the pics. Helps make the wait a bit easier!
