Copied AdamIsAdam's response and added mine above! I'll also be going up to Lime Rock this weekend, would love to see some fellow Ts!

They’re going to be simple shirts (nothing fancy) but hopefully a momentous item with 9/9/23 date on it, etc. For those listed, please respond with desired T-shirt size. Likely cotton shirts so recommend ordering one size up.
If PTS is available on configurator, Porsche is willing to build it.
This is known to be untrue. Except for a brief period of several weeks (I think it was around January - whenever we US folks first got switched to the "world configurator"), PTS has been "available" to select on the configurator but at no time since last fall could anyone actually get a build approved with PTS for a 2023 911 (basically anything allocated after Aug or maybe Sept).
I have the following folks listed as 100% attending our 9/9 meet! I still need the size for order for ones with ? (recommend order one size up). Trying to keep my cost @ less than $25 per custom shirt so T-shirt quality will be standard (try to at least get Gildan or Hanes). That said, @tourenwagen has provided me with special graphics for the T-shirt that looks fantastic! I want it to be a surprise for everyone on 9/9 but it really looks sharp. I’m sure you’ll be thanking him then for his efforts! My first time doing this so hoping order works out as planned. Again, don’t boo me later if things don’t turn out perfect. I’ll give it my best shot.
I think they do PTS at a different facility and supposedly they've been having quality control issues with the work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
It's not a different facility and if they were having "quality control issues" with PTS (source?) they'd never admit it. That said, they failed to explain why they shut down PTS orders just a few months into MY23 despite allegedly quadrupling PTS capacity relatively recently (announced in late 2021 - supposedly going from 5 cars per day to 20). But it's not as if they stopped doing PTS - they did a PTS run in mid-March while my car was in production (though of course my car was not allowed to get PTS).

Finally Home, PPF'd, Ceramic coated, Registered, Insured and inspected...
Loving how much this color changes with the time of day!
Glad to see she's home! Was going to say you forgot to swap out the amber front side marker lights for clear ones but the first pic looks like it has clear ones whereas the other pics are "clearly" amber ones...?

Good catch!! The Clear Side Markers literally went on today when the final state inspection was done at the dealer... Some of those pics are from Friday when I got the car back from the PPF place.

My mistake, it was the PTS plus that are hand painted outside of the normal production line. The quality control I'm talking about is hardness/softness in paint. This article addresses both points. But I guess PTS is automated just like the base paint process
