Forget the condensation. Due to the little heat emitted by the LED headlights, they're no longer able to dissipate the condensation that HIDs or halogen bulbs were.
Ahh screw it, you're right! NHTSA-approved markers FTW with the Chalk haha!
Wanted the GR so bad but I like the subtle look better.
Saw a Taycan 4S with the Chalk today, looked so creamy!
GR is def. the killer whale though -- enjoy them y'all!
Thanks @Sibe!

Amazing, just like I imagined her! Red and black has always been my favorite combo - really gets your blood pressure running! Not to mention I have a full-grown Sibe too but he only gets to ride in my B9 - sheddings and all! But now that I think about - maybe that's why I did the rear delete! Getting him in there would be impossible though as the top part of the seats don't even plop back. I'm just kidding though, his nails would ruin the leather instantly! Hope your Sibes are well!
I wonder what kind of IAT you're pulling in! Definitely not a cold air intake kind of customer haha!
Picked up the car today, got it home in the super downpour in Houston, then promptly swapped my key over to the paintmatched Aventurine Green, and installed my clear sidemarkers.
Just in case you hadn't seen it in its element, GR 180 miles from the arctic circle.
Another great day for a ride though the weather may be frightful...

I am so pleased that folks exist who are willing to live in such places. As for me, I determined as a child, enduring yet another bone chilling winter, that when I grew up I would refuse to live anywhere water might turn solid if left outside overnight at any time of the year. Happy to have spent the vast majority of my adult years in sunny (and warm) California.
If you don't want an external battery, but still would like to retain parking mode, you can use a device called Power Magic Pro. It allows you to use the cars battery down to a specified voltage setting, then it turns off the camera. I have done this setup in the past and it works fine, but my concern with the 992 is how many ancillary systems seem to run through the PCM. Many posters have complained about dead batteries from something as simple as not locking their car or having the key fob to close when parked at the house.
The external battery would negate any of those concerns. Here is a listing of different "Battery Packs." I believe most just use some Velcro on the bottom and attach it to the carpet under one of the seats, but it can be mounted just about any where.
I myself haven't decided if I'm going to install a dashcam on this car. I like the concept of the add on Escort M2 dashcam, but it isn't useful when someone backs into your car in a parking lot or worse vandalizes it. With a real parking mode engaged you will have a video evidence of the incident. My main hang up right now on installing the Blackvue is really nothing more than not wanting to deal with the hassle of wiring it up and possibly damaging part of the interior while doing so. Just my $.02.
The Blackview camera setups are quite popular for dashcams but most often require Power Magic Pro's added to the setup by customers to ensure battery power isn't drained by the dashcam setup. I went another route and installed a Thinkware Q800Pro setup for my car. Doesn't require an optional battery due to it having software that regulates battery draw a lot better and such. Much better set up for those purposes. Can install an additional battery with either set up...did that with my prior car 2019 Audi RS5 along with the Thinkware to ensure power to the unit over prolonged parking as well as protect battery drain.
Of note I tried the Escort M2 dashcam set up prior to going for a full option dashcam as above. While the M2 was nice and worked was very basic with limited functionality and almost zero parking features and picture was mediocre at best from a quality standpoint. Had basics like time stamp and speed but no GPS and no impact sensors...was just starts up at power on (had mine hard wired) and then off when turn the key. Most importantly it requires you to have your radar detector mounted full time almost to draw power as it plugged into the detector as I recall and did NOT want my $600-700+ detector on display in my vehicle when parked 24/7 or even when driving in some places/states. So I swapped out for the better options. Cost was negligible for the most part and satisfied. Will put one in all of my cars going forward.

My understanding is that the new 900X-2CH Plus doesn't require the battery setup (though I think you can add it if you expect to need the parking mode for extended durations) because the X now adds the regulating feature that the Power Magic Pro was previously required for.
