Congratulations! Love it! Looks like the two-tone Slate Grey Chalk interior. I have the same. Fun to see its Ford sibling in the next bay. The green garage! Enjoy.

First have a paint correction done followed by Expel ppf then Ceramic coating, saves a lot of work later!

That's a good idea. Usually, I do all my own detailing and paint correction ( I had much success in the past. I have some polishes that I like and a random orbital buffer), but I'll do some research to see if I can find a good shop. If not, I'll just do my best to minimize them. It was delivered with some that I'm going to want to get rid of.

You're right. It is the slate/chalk. I also did the racetec/Alcantara roofline. I wish it was standard like the 991. So, I opted to add it in this car. These are some slightly better pics:

That sure is pretty! Show us a side shot with the door closed. I really like the Porsche stripe in black with those wheels and calipers.

Okay... off topic but I'm a little concerned about how exposed the front radiators are compared to the 991. Anyone put a cover on their radiator grills up front? Are you seeing stone damage or how are you managing?

I really wouldn't worry about it. Porsche knew they were going to be exposed to all sorts of stuff hitting them.

I agree. I like it, and it compliments this color scheme well.

It could bend the fins though. Are yours exposed or active?

Yeah, so you have some protection. I'll do some research and let this thread get back on topic.
