I hear you re: the clear taillights but, for me, I hate the center high-mounted brake light in red on the 992 (with any color paint). I think it's a very poor design and stands out horribly in red. But beyond that, I would not mind the full-width taillight strip being red if the elements below it - the ones at each corner (the "hockey stick" shapes) - were also red. I wanted the taillight strip to match those lower elements. I would never have gotten a 991 with the exclusive design taillights - all 991 look better to me with red taillights.

I'm no spreadsheet master so if you have any suggestions on how to make it better, please let me know. For now, it's locked and you can only input your data as a comment that I will then update on the sheet. I set it up this way to prevent someone from making a mess of a publicly shared sheet. However, open to suggestions on how to best provide access.

@toph4242 @Macboy @Pivot @Scott P expecting to see you guys on the sheet.
Hi ​​​@Wilder can open the sheet Ok but can’t see where you’d like the comment left, everything seems locked down.

Is there a factory or aftermarket carpet or cargo mat piece to cover the seat backs when the rear seats are folded?

You list your location as …’Earth, Solar System, Orion Arm’.
That makes you a near neighbour.

PSA: I spoke with the Service Dept at Porsche Buffalo this morning. They have just received a TSB from Porsche advising of the lightweight glass breaking or being defective. Glass is ordered, just waiting for the call to install it next. I'll keep you posted.

That's great news. Hopefully Porsche figures out a way to fix it permanently vs just replace and hope it doesn't happen again.

Not a great shot when it comes to the exhaust tips (though it's a good shot of the clear taillights ) but you can see the left exhaust tip ok if you zoom in. Will have more pics next month - Leipzig ED on 8/22!

Mine goes in for tinting tomorrow. Hoping for no window issues. If something does happen, it's @Rich_911T 's fault
