Hello Carrera T friends. I am in Germany showing my mother around for her birthday. I am *many* pages behind, but I look forward to catching up. I wanted to say hello and hope everyone is excited for the holidays. It has been several years since I enjoyed the Christmas markets here...what a treat!

It does fit on the T grill, they have an install video on their website showing it done.

I just put a deposit down on a second T allocation. A customer backed out and I was grateful to receive it. The night of the freeze date on my current T, I woke up in the middle of the night with a spec idea to build a tribute car. I called my SA first thing the following morning and it was too late. This allocation gives me a chance to build this car. Unlike the first car that took me 20 rounds on the configurator over a few weeks, I landed this one in two shots over the weekend.

Nothing eBay or Aliexpress belongs on a 911, or anything beyond a high schooler’s project car.

Only a PDK and RAS away from perfection!

If I would configure my T again, these would be my options too...bar the exclusive taillights. Would have added the non silver PDLS and silver exhaust tips.
An S/T for three times less the entry price. Less is more.

And I try to stay away and not get dragged every evening to them
But this year they seem a little less crowded, maybe it is too early, should gather "traction" in the next two weeks.

This car will be heavily modified and not look like a T. Exclusive lights will make sense when I reveal the car. I find the standard lights excellent and the car will rarely be driven at night anyway. Considering tinted PPF for the headlights. The sliver doesn't bother me on the black car and likely less on the white car. Tips will be silver but not big ovals. And yes, a properly configured T is a budget ST. If my black car had buckets, it would be 100% the black launch ST.

I am first in line for an ST at my dealer. Mexico is expecting between 5 and 10 cars for the entire country. I've also been offered this second T and a new/used Dakar of which only 5 have been delivered so far in Mexico and less than a total of 10 are expected as well. That's what has come from it so far and I'm happy with it.

I hope that wall you’re hiding behind is strong enough to withstand brickbats!!

Love this! I am considering something very similar as an option for my April build if no new colors become available. I'm OK with the standard tail lights on white, and I'll prob go with the base 4-way seats for more everyday usability versus the buckets.

I’m curious to know if Porsche Mexico will
allow S/T buyers to own their car from day one??

Love this. Almost exactly what I would build if I were to do it again.

Thank you! Red lights look great. I have them on my current car. Only ordering because a new color will be introduced that will not combine well with red. Standard seats are also fantastic. I'm ordering buckets because I have a very specific idea in mind for this car. 4 ways are not only super comfortable, they also give you access to the rear which you lose with the buckets. For every day use and for a car use for trips, I would not option buckets.

Yes. The lease is only for the US and it's a PCNA initiative, not PAG IIRC.
