My dealer will fit them - they're available to purchase in the retail shop in the dealership. Could have fitted them myself but they'll look good at the unveiling.
The next big decision I'm wrestling with is what to wear on the day? Still undecided!

My car is built, shipped, at dealership, and I have actually driven it a few feet…. But still shows as stage 4/5 and no production pics yet! I gave up worrying! :-)

You would think they could easily load +10% to list and sell it no probs?!
The standard shield actually looks better in my opinion.

Apologies if I repeat myself but as a daily my 992 GTS is just too much of a car. In everyday usage the additional weight of the braking system is quite noticeable and the throttle response makes it almost impossible to floor it.
On track is a different story but with the price difference between GTS and T I could enjoy plenty of track days renting a GT4 RS…
First time I am experiencing a buyer remorse and will meet my SA next week to start evaluating next steps..

A 4GTS PDK weighs ~3,600lbs. Manual T with buckets and RAS weighs ~3,250lbs. Therefore, GTS is ~350lbs heavier but has PDK, +100HP and AWD advantage. A manual T with a tune puts the HP/TQ specs within range of the GTS and the AWD + PDK advantage of the GTS is offset by the lighter weight of the T, making them comparable. My guess anyway.

Sorry to hear. If it helps I was on the fence between White and Chalk and your post after seeing Ice Grey Metallic at Miglia made me opt for Ice Grey Metallic.

Assuming the color hasn't changed since the 991.2, I ordered colored crests from 991 Carrera Classic wheels. They are parts, not accessories. The accessory centers come in a set of 4 and are limited to 2 or 3 colors. Parts centers obviously come individually packaged and were slightly more expensive.

I think they were hoping to get the part numbers so they didn't have to pay the suncoast premium....but I think things like clear corners and visors w/o labels you have to bite the bullet and pay suncoast because they are ROW. I get that suncoast makes it easy on us (I buy from them too) and does the leg work, but they are literally(to my knowledge) the only ones who conceal part numbers on the web.

Actually since I'm ordering a few things for my '72T, I cross shop all the parts. Sunset, Suncoast, annapolis (getPP), Pelican, etc. FWIW I think the suncoast prices are really good!

I'm pretty sure I nailed down the right one if this helps anyone: 992-953-042-C

Side skirts L/R are:
9GT-854-885-OK1
9GT-854-886-OK1
