which ceramic product? Is the shop going to handle the touch ups? Are they scattered or mostly on the rear quarter and rockers? I just bought the twin of your car with 6,000 miles and I’m debating what type of paint protection to go with for white. I’m thinking to skip PPF and just have rock ships repaired by the detailer every year or 2. I’m definitely doing ceramic. I’m intrigued by Ceramic Pro Ion…or maybe I’m just biting their marketing.
He uses the Kenzo ceramic product. I only have PPF on the front clip, mirrors, and the rear fenders... There are way more chips when I look close than I'd like... I put the GT3 side skirts on hoping it will protect some of the lower areas better. Who knows.

That's good info! I got the Dr Colorchip in the mail last night ... I never do a great job with touch ups
Got me some Bilstein EVO SE coilovers courtesy of David @WheelsB . So my card was charged yesterday and this morning the coilovers were sitting on my front porch. Incredibly fast service and an excellent deal. Dealer is throwing them on next week. Shooting for a 20-25mm drop from stock PASM height.
Thank you for the shoutout KD! It's been a pleasuring working with ya on both order. Make sure to post some photos of the car when everything is complete

The plastic bits are really hard. The paint is so thin you can't really build up any layers of clear to sand off...I couldn't even use the squeegee method with dr.colorchip. You can use a micro brush, it's better but not great. Then I moved to airbrush... which was the best technique if you want to do it quickly. I ended up repainting/blending my splitter because I just wasn't happy with it the touch ups. I highly recommend that anyone with a tri-coat or metallic paint job on their 911 get PPF at lease on the plastic front bumper/splitter. You can seriously measure the paint thickness by hair strand.

oh man, definitely looking for a write-up on the experience with these, and pics!

Interesting observation about Carrara White, must be just as hard to match if you need body work. Maybe Ice Grey is a better choice?
I just ordered a set from Suncoast as well for my white 2021 arriving Monday. I also ordered a Sto and Sho front license plate holder
When you install the Sto&Sho Receiver be sure to add a Ribbing/touchdown block as I did to prevent the "tubes" from being abused if/when touching the ground. (Ex: Steep Driveway) I used a block of stainless steel and it's help up quite well. Dimensions are shown below.
