Hey,
The happy day at last has come. Picking up my first Porsche on next Sunday. Has to travel 350kms to Kochi (South India) from my town. This will be first T of my country. Lucky to get an allocation.
Planning to PPF as soon as I get her. Is it necessary to install wind shield protection film, as few are experiencing cracks so often. Apologies if this has been already discussed in this forum. My sales guy is suggesting an imported film from US - stek dynoflex. I had a bad experience with 3M film in my BMW as it reduced the night time visibility. Thanks for your opinions
BTW, this is my configuration which I worked out for my road and climatic conditions

Congrats and shark blue T should get a lot of attention in India. The few windshield cracks I’ve seen mentioned seemed to be more stress related cracks, which a dealer may replace under warranty. Since u know your own roads better than others, it may make sense to dynoflex it. If impact related, dealer should be able to figure out using a microscope and likely be not covered.
One thing I recommend if it’s available to you is some kind of tire shop hazard insurance. I paid about 200 usd for all 4 tires that came with my T at a local tire shop. I live in New Jersey & New York US where roads can be extremely poor due to salts sprayed on roads for snow/ice. Easy to get tire damage including tears, bubbles, etc. Fortunately, nothing major yet on my T but my Michelins already got 2 flats in 3K miles. Love these tires but things easily get embedded in them. So with patch fix including rebalance, I’ve already recaptured more than half insurance cost in just flat repair costs. My shop gives tire lifetime free flat repairs. That may be something u want to consider.
BTW, I noticed u got PDK. Is a manual transmission not offered in India like China?
Thanks@ Burning brakes.
I already insured for tyres and alloys along with windshield 😎
Only 2 Ts with PDK were allotted for India on the month of June. I couldn’t wait much longer for a manual one. Also, thanks to Bumper to Bumper traffic, I happily accepted the PDK.

I see. Well, the wait is soon over. The T is awesome…
The T has finally made its way to the dealer. It arrived at port on Tuesday and I was expecting it to stay there for a week or two and then 4 days later TYD updates me it’s at the dealer (skipped the delivery update). I’m hoping to pick it up next weekend!

Congrats on your incoming T. I’m not surprised to hear of your problems with 3M film; you can’t put regular PPF over the windshield without it compromising visual clarity. I have not used Stek, but maybe it’s great. I have had success on several 911s with ClearPlex, though, so perhaps it is also a product to consider.
1- U clearly can benefit from using the “inside job” or maybe u going for that barn find look?
3- if anyone repeats all 42 pics in a response, quitting RList on the spot.
1 - I don't think he got it, you might repeat the question
3 - I dare you.

On the bonnet/hood/Haube, the result of the final quality control check: UQ, aka "uber Qualität"
Looks like it, too!
Unfortunately there is no extra 12v socket on the 992.
I originally had it spec’ed on my build, but I later became one of those guys that felt it was best that it not be listed on the Monroney sticker. Given what the car cost I, like everyone else can clearly afford the “ashtray” if I later decide that I need it even though I am not a smoker.
eff that , I’m saving .01 cents a month not having it
