Big news…on a wintery day in Chicago spring, the T has finally arrived!

PDI will be Monday, after which she is heading for full PPF/ceramic. Many more (and higher quality) pictures to follow…beyond excited.

Thought this group might also appreciate a little Stuttgart Easter Egg…

The vehicle was ordered with the side decal delete (confirmed via window sticker below), to my surprise, it came with decals! I could imagine the German tech questioning that option choice and throwing them on anyway! I’d like to think of this as a sign to keep these decals on for the ~ethos~

My car is now at Stage 5, ready to transport. According to TYD, it only took 4 days to build, now how long to deliver? It's now at Emden I believe, anyone know how long it takes to ship to Halifax, I've heard stories of cars sitting for months at Port. Is this still true?



I got the Lizard Green Leather T package with rear seats and Burm. I should just go on a diet to stick with the Ethos.

Interesting! Did they honor the rear badge delete?

Congrats!!!! The Gentian Blue looks fantastic......it was my choice originally but I want the Lizard Green T interior. This makes it a very tough choice! Enjoy your beatiful new 911 once it's ready to go.

No, but my original color wasn’t white. I like the red, silver and I bet the rubystone looks good. Green was my original outside color and I even liked it.

The night after I submitted my final build I got an idea to do a tribute to the RS which is 50 this year and so am I. It required changing the color from black to white and deleting $11k worth of interior options. I called the following morning and it couldn't be done. I'm still very happy with what I chose and have zero regrets. I have the same what ifs about some options but we're all going to have great cars regardless of one or two things we may have missed.

They did, thankfully, that is one I actually cared about. Hate getting my wish mitt snagged on those!

Thank you! Lizard Green will look sublime, can’t wait to see it.

I prefer the standard rear bumper, but the sport design front (which is how I ordered it). It’s all personal preference at the end of the day!

It's just like you say: it's preference. I do not think it looks better so I don't see the point in paying more for it. I also like the front vanes in front of the radiators that you lose with the sport front bumper. I don't like the way the rear bumper gets broken up and busier. I think the front SD bumper looks a little bit better, but not enough to pay that much more and lose the aforementioned front vanes.

I do love that there are options because it means more variety in the T's we'll see.

If you tire of the T-ethos god's overruling of the T-decal decision you can always take some 3M sticker remover to it. I'm sure there are plenty of safe tutorials on Rennlist on the best ways to do so. I hear it's super easy.

Same on the sport design bumpers. If I could get the SD front with adjustable cooling vanes, I would consider it!

Porsche is a master at charging for things that should be free, like different color belts, stitches, and dials as well as the different design bumpers. You have to draw the line somewhere. My line is at paying $5k for different design bumpers. My fix was ordering a black car.
