Anyone lucky enough to already get the T yet want to do me a favor? My GFX designer needs a high res clean pic of the side badge of both sides. He's going to add some piping to the logo and reprint for my T after I have it PPF'd. all the pics so far are not to his standards. let me know if you can help. Thanks!

How will he reprint the T? Will he make it bigger?

Were my pictures of the T decals enough? See the yellow one. I have them in high res.

A few adjustments if it was my car (it isn't, so you should choose what fits you):
  • Keep the Carrera S wheels; they are beautiful, and the RS Spyder are difficult to clean and in my opinion not worth the extra $2,540
  • Get the extended leather, unless you want a dashboard from a VW; I would pick the Sport-Tex options, since the I don't believe it's worth to pay $2,400 more for the stitching;
  • Get the extended range fuel tank (it's only $230)
  • Consider the Exclusive Design Taillights for a cleaner look (it's $990 however, so purely a design choice)
  • Save $580 and remove the ambient lighting -- it's really of limited use;
  • Remove the interior inlays -- it cheapens the interior and you might get tired of it;

THANK YOUTHANK YOU
Just a thank you to all of you for making me richer!
As a shareholder I was delighted to see in yesterday's annual statement that Porsche AG sales and profits are both well up and 2023 is expected to be even better.

So when you're next in my part of the world (London) let me know and I'll treat you to a pint, or a Bud, or whatever!
Once again thank you very much, don't think it's not appreciated

No wrong answers….your car - your way…but agree with deleting the interior color

I love your combination. All has been said here about the leather interior which I would add. I also think you can skip the expensive T package because your exterior and interior are already popping. Unless you went for green interior with green details. But than you would need to skip the exterior color parts in your interior. So just love your choice but than go for the standard look.

The wheels you have look beautiful on the Ruby star. I always was a fan of the standard ones. But after seeing those pictures here from the Ruby one with exact those wheels I start to love them. They are more difficult to clean however. I would just add the Carrera T side decals for the match. Can’t go wrong there whatever you chose.

I also love your backside seats in leather in exterior color. For that reason I think your choice of adding the interior color on the dash is brilliant. And it’s for free. But the main reason is that Ruby star does not have matching seatbelts in that color. Also Ruby doesn’t have matching chrono or tacho. So the only combination of bonding interior and exterior is with the inlay and backside of the seats. Since you cannot see the backside whilst driving I just love your choice for adding that to the view. Would definitely not change it. You will have a very special and custom build.

I also went for the backseats in GR but because I have red seatbelts and tacho and chrono the inlay in exterior was too much. In your case it definitely is not. Go for it!

Patience. 3/1 production start, TYD updated 3/12 with a 3/12 start.

You can not (as of a few years ago) replace the fire extinguisher in the US. The fire extinguisher can be imported with a car, but not sold individually.

I have done many European delivery, never with a fire extinguisher, but tool kits, first aid kits, umbrellas and the like that are fastened in the car NEVER make it to delivery. Though the car comes to you along with everyone else's BMW, we aren't the trusted importer that an automobile manufacturer is and the cars are gone over very closely to verify we aren't bringing anything back we shouldn't...as part of the process, everything is removed.

I might be reading your message wrong, but my dealer and many people in the European Delivery thread confirm that their cars arrive no issue with the extinguisher (with only a handful of people saying it was removed at customs). I just had a friend do ED this fall and received his Cayman with the Fire extinguisher in tact. Joey also said that it is a hit or miss whether or not the port removes the extinguisher... so as a precaution they provide language in the ED paperwork to state that compensation will be given to make up for the cost of the option.

I passed on both the S and GTS at MSRP. No interest. The GTS is especially odd to me. A bunch more money for a tune and loads of Alcântara. No thank you.
