Count me in too

 

PPF QUESTION!
Porsche UK are quoting me £6.5k ($7.5k) to PPF the whole car and half of that for frontage, mirrors and hips.
A local company with good reputation quoted me £3.5k and £1.5k respectively.

Unless getting it done locally invalidates the paintwork guarantee I'm gonna get it done these.
Any thoughts??

 

And now this morning it is showing 2/10 actual date of start production.

looking forward to some pictures

 

My 991.2T wheel was racetex and my 992 wheel is leather. I way prefer the racetex!

 

That would be awesome!! I arrive on the morning of June 12th at the factory for a Tour, before driving over to Sindelfingen to drop my car off in the afternoon to be shipped... Would be a great send off before she heads to her shipping container for the next 6-8 weeks!

 

You're in Bonn??? I was born there and grew up there. Will be there in July again visiting friends. And hopefully, if I ever order my T, I'll be there doing my ED.

 

As noted above, 100% "first world problem" (tho that doesn't mean Porsche should keep lying about it & teasing those of us who want it). It only matters if you want a special/historic paint color on your new 911 (and you're willing to fork over an additional $11k for it).

As we saw with a couple other guys checking yesterday, I got confirmation from my dealer today that PTS is still unavailable, as expected (I had to ask).

 

Thanks for running it down.

 

I also talked to someone knowledgeable in NA corporate who said PTS will be unavailable for all 2023. And suggested a few things that we are seeing…that other things are changing and being pulled back. One thing I was told to confirm is that my T interior package has the viper green belts as that may get dropped from the package.

Unfortunately I don’t have an allocation yet. I’d guess that those with an allocation and accepted build should be ok but I wouldn’t bet on anything.

 

Porsche in the USA does NOT typically do a great job of installing, and overcharges even though they usually outsource to a 3rd party at most dealers...
I find that the independent shops who do this all day every day at their own locations tend to be the best in the business... Your quote from Porsche does seem high, but I have heard of others on here recently post higher numbers.
The place I plan to have mine done at is a fantastic independent shop, and I am quoting from memory but I believe the said $2500 for Front + Rockers/wheel arches, and for a full car PPF it was around $5500 and ceramic included

 

That is helpful insight, and worth checking out...
I for one went racing yellow belts, so I assume those will be safe! Car is locked, so I think I would have heard by now if anything was getting cut... but you just never know!

 

It's the torque that makes the difference in a S, especially in a manual car. The extra power is nice of course but watch the boost gauge and you see it's hardly ever used.

 

I was referring to weight vs hp. That’s all.

 

Some more production photos ... colour is standard white.

 

I tried to zoom in, but couldn't make out the tires... what do we think??
