I would not think so since the crack is on the inside layer of glass, even it it did that's completely unacceptable to have a window crack from using a squeegee on it. Also it cracked more overnight last night sitting in my garage. I did mention having windshield protection film when I spoke to my SA, he said that helps remove the possibility of a rock strike causing this but, it's obvious an impact or nick did not cause the cracking regardless. The service department manager is reviewing the case now and I'm waiting to hear back on confirming replacement, hopefully without me having to go to the service center for inspection.

Wilder, the leather upgrade is a winner. Wish I had figured that out before my spec closed. My last car had full leather two-tone with deviated tri-color stitching and I miss it.

beautiful contrast ! What color is the stitching and belts?

Nice! FWIW, I went with IGM and the lizard green option with full leather... to each their own, but I think the lizard green pairs well with IGM (both are cooler colors, and I think the lizard green adds a nice pop to an otherwise understated color palette). I also preferred lizard green over the slate gray, as many seemed to think the slate gray was too subtle after the fact. And in terms of standard interior vs leather, when going with the lizard green, I liked the idea of having extra green stitching on the dash and doors. Now all that said, I haven't actually seen my build in person yet, so hopefully I don't hate it once it's here lol.

My dealer had highly recommended RAS, and I originally had it on my build until I had the opportunity to test drive a 992 C2S equipped with RAS. I didn't notice enough of a driving difference to justify the cost and added complexity, and all of the real-world street driving claims from my salesman seemed to be focused on being able to make tighter U-turns, which isn't a very big deal to me. Good news, you're sure to love the way your 992 drives with our without RAS!

You're selling it with the wheels? Wouldn't you get more selling them separately?

If not too late, I'd highly recommend interior trim in exterior color, gets rid of all the black fingerprint/dust-prone trim mostly.

It is in fact too late (I just got my build photos from Porsche this morning and it's now on the way to the port), but I actually did pick that option. Completely agree about the black trim with fingerprints/dust.

Interesting take, I hadn't heard this before. I'm ignorant here, but I would imagine that rear wheel steering would require hydraulics and different linkages and sensors wouldn't it. how would you remove the equipment cheaply?

RatherJaded

Just a friendly FYI, but a heat gun is also used to affix ExoShield to a windshield.

Scott P

I looked at your build and didn't see it, good catch!

6sigma

Hmm, well, hope nothing is wrong to create even more delay. Original build complete was Apr 4 now Apr 22. Is this concerning or typical? Can't do anything about it, so why worry!

They are mechatronic not hydraulic, and it's a matter of unplugging them and replacing them with the standard toe links. Parts including non-reusable hardware IIRC was <$500 dollars and the labor would just be the alignment. I'm sure there is a PIWIS coding element to it too, but I don't believe that's going to be any kind of a problem so I haven't looked to deep into it.

You unplug / unbolt the RAS links and bolt in standard ones.

When I learned RAS was controversial I decided to look into what it would take to ditch it if i didn't like it.

Here is the RAS link for comparison:

I compared all the other part numbers from both configurations and they are all the same. You don't have to take my word for it though, you can use this site to check out all kinds of parts from different models/configurations.

@6sigma That seems a hell of long time for production process over a month! Must be some shortage in the pipeline or you have specified some special Porsche Exclusive ? Normal times in production run to approx a week.

@Pivot Will do I put in a request for the April date and had an email back, but waiting for confirmation which might mean also that they might want it overnight?
Promise to keep you posted whatever.
Best Devon Racer.

It is fairly normal anymore for them to sit at the factory for several weeks prior to production actually completing. Supply constraints in the automotive industry are still in full effect. More than likely it is something trivial.
