Most Xpel installers offer a ‘Track Pack’ which provides ample protection of the vehicle.

Front bumper, hood, fenders, door handles. Ceramic coat did myself. Working for me so far.

Congrats! Got tire coverage from my local tire shop $200. Working well so far. Had 2 minor flats covered already. My dealer finance guy was cool. He said u paying cash for T, so assuming you’re not gonna want my sales pitch, ha. Took only 5 minutes with him.

I had a very similar experience via my cash purchase.

I'm doing the same on my T when it arrives. Maybe add windshield protection but I've heard such mixed reviews with wipers smudging and pitting streaks

All that pink inside, I would take out the Ruby Star interior painted elements, go black but do stitching in yellow with the belts and tach.

I did full front Xpel ppf. And then ceramic coated the entire car + wheels. Very happy. Didn’t ppf my last car and the stone chips were agonizing.

Hey T-mates,

I took my kids to a local cars and coffee this morning. While we were there two 991 GT3s and a Hurrican STO arrived. All three made a fantastic noise, which made me start thinking about how to perk up the sound of my T. The stock PSE is certainly not bad sounding, especially up past 6K RPM, but I’ve never kept the stock exhaust on any of my cars. Now that spring, and driving season, are almost here, it’s time to start modding.

What kinds of aftermarket exhausts are people running on their T’s? I see that both Tubi and Akrapovic sell cat backs for the 992. Anyone tried either?

Thanks all. Here’s some cars and coffee pictures for your trouble. Sorry that some have my kids in them blocking the cars


The STO

The owner had it on winter tires. Great to see a car like this actually getting driven.

One of the GT3s

My T

A few other nice 911s

Met with a buddy today for a coffee and chat re 992T and GT3

Please note two German precision weapons flanked by two American powerhouses


Followed by fossil shopping in Surrey Hills

I already have the Racing Yellow Deviated Stitching+Belts+dials and the GT3 Door Pulls in Racing Yellow to match... I kept the interior painted Ruby Star pieces on the dash+door+seat backs, becuase I have some plans for those, plus since Ruby Star is gone, it will be very difficult to get those in the future without paying out the nose... I can always swap them out for the CF or black ones from SunCoast Parts, but I have other plans for those without swapping them out...

I've collected so many parts over the past few weeks in preparation for my "T" to arrive. Can't wait for May to come!

Can't tell you what I did but can share what I am planning to do - I've gone back and forth myself.
- full front PPF through Detailers of Naples to include front bumper, full hood, full fenders, and mirrors
- ceramic coating through Dealer - long story but it's included in my trade deal for the T. I'm not sure I would have done it but kind of glad it's working out that way

Ceramic is supposed to go on after the PPF.

Arrived! Went to the Dealer to fork over the big check and while the car wasn't completely prepped, we got to take her out for a bit. Wife made a good choice!

Luckily a ton of great companies make exhausts for the T, Kline is really popular as well as Soul and then if you want Titanium JCR.

Happy to help answer any questions, we carry all of them
