My PPF guy called me to ask if I wanted the factory fitted ‘hip protection film’ to be re-adhered over the PPF and I said yes.
If after a while few weeks/months it starts to show a dirt outline around it, he’ll remove it.

Second hand info but reliable.
Yep that’s exactly what my PPF guy told me👍

We each take our own path. I have big reds on my 991.2t....OVERKILL YES, but makes the car for me. It was one of the first things I did. I do wish that the stock calipers were gloss black. The finish on the 991.2's doesn't hold up very well. My first 992, so only time will tell.

You’ve convinced me - just ordered the aero kit🙏
I don’t have much luck with women. I only ordered this car to pose next to to help me pick up some ladies so the kit should help.
I’m hoping to pass my driving test in a few months which fingers crossed should help make me even more attractive 👍👍

I posted a lot more detailed highres photos of the checkered flag seats in the 61 pictures bomb with the yellow 992 T. You missed that?

I am everything but delighted. Since this is my first new Porsche it was a shame I could not do this. That is the main reason I chose GR because the only color I would never order red or yellow callipers with is GR. I personally love the red or yellow calipers and matching them to the interior. I am a big lover of exterior and interior matching. Red calipers and red seatbelts and red tacho/chrono is a dream to me. Or the same with yellow. Also the car key. Most people have the car key in the exterior color. I liked it more along with the colored details. And to me having these red/yellow details pop out most with the regular black stitching. In the Netherlands we also get yellow license plates to make it even more perfect. Here some pictures of my GT3:

Oh quite the contrary. I didn't miss them (and greatly appreciated them). I just really enjoy seeing them.

To keep the management happy and since I both haven't posted photos the past few posts and don't have my T yet.... I was at my local dealership yesterday picking up my Macan from service and saw these each listed for $400k in the showroom.





It kinda makes me wish I could have paired a brown leather interior with my Gentian Blue T.

Why are some people getting clear style front blinkers and others orange? My configurator spec showed it clear, but it looks like I got orange.



Others in the thread have clear ones, though a white build a few pgs back shows orange. It is not correlaged with headlight choice based on my review of pics.

Are all the clear ones in Europe?
