Yes- it will have the decal. Not sure why you would not allow the decal to be installed -- you can always heat it a little and just peel it off. To add it would cost you probably $500 to $1000 to buy from Porsche. here are several other pics of the car from the factory. THis color neo rubystar changes a lot based on lighting which was also true for my shark Blue GTS Boxster and a Panamera 4 in sapphire Blue. I like these toys to look like toys-- what is the purpose of "blending in" with all the Toyotas, Hondas and Ford or Chevy vehicles. In my case-- these are toy cars and should stand out and catch your eye as it zooms by on the road or even in a parking lot. Life is just too short for off whites, or grays or even silver -- just my opinion - and others will believe otherwise.
I was really lucky to get the gloss black aero kit installed which also adds the sport front and rear gloss black Fascias as well -- this was my wife's car - in theory - and I think it will look really nice with all the gloss black pieces against the neo Rubystar and gloss black window frame as well. Added every race-tex interior part I could check rather than paying for all leather interior which will fit this car nicely as well. And did the interior trim in the body colot for continity.

I am sure you have a mobile phone lying around for at least some crappy pictures? Come on!
This was just tooooo funny hahaha 
I love your combo idea with gloss black can’t wait to see it. In the Netherlands no one buys the aero kit. Which is very popular in USA apparently. Here getting a GT3 is probably not so hard as in USA so the wing is more popular there probably.
Swore I would NEVER own another black vehicle again. NEVER OWN ANOTHER BLACK CAR! I owned that car until last summer and swore up and down I would NEVER own another black car. My mother says I'm smart. She also says I'm handsome. I think she may be delusional......

There's a big Porsche meet up at the Cotswold Barns on Sat 15th July. 15 RS models (incl a 992) and 30+ other already signed up. Pivot looks like you may already be on the list? Be great to get 4 T's there. Meeting is listed on Pistonheads. Assuming we have our cars by then...
yip, I am planning to be there… also registered for Goodwood Breakfast Club on 4-June
Would be good to see the 992T’s in force

Does anyone know what the normal delay between status V250-V260-V300 should be?
V250 = Vehicle Fixed for Production: was planned for 17/03/2023 - actual date is 24/03/2023
V260 = Start of production: was planned for 31/03/2023 - jumped to actual date 05/04/2023
V300 = Vehicle completed: was planned for 07/04/2023 - first went to 14/04/2023, but on 17/04/2023 it jumped to 12/05/2023!
Any idea what could be the reason for a 4 week delay?
My SA tells me he does not have more info...

The salesman told me that the car was at the port on Tuesday 18th and might catch the Wednesday ship, which I guess it didn’t as haven’t heard. Therefore I think it’s likely to be on this Wednesdays, which he said normally gets to Cambridge on a Friday. Fingers crossed, I’m away in France until Sunday, so would love to be collecting middle of next week.
My first Porsche, wanted for many years but wasn’t sure how my customers would view it, so coming from a line of BMW M cars. Just can’t wait !!!
My spec is:
Shark Blue
Carrera T interior package with extensive items in leather, stitching in Slate Grey Sports seats Plus, electrical 4-way
Rear Seats
SportDesign Package
SportDesign Side Skirts
Electric folding exterior mirrors
Preparation for roof transport system
7-Speed Manual Transmission
20-/21-inch Carrera S wheels in Titanium Grey (high-gloss)
LED Main Headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) Exclusive Design Taillights
Lightweight and noise insulated glass incl. privacy glass
ParkAssist including Surround View
Lane Change Assist
Porsche Entry & Drive
Light design package
Heated GT sports steering wheel in leather
Storage Package

In fear of being taken apart on the forum - I've gone Comfort Spec T.
I had a 991.2 T (plus a couple of 991.2 GTS, various 991.1 and 997s, Boxsters and Caymans) before I had a couple of GT4s and comfort spec for me is the way forward, plus have two kids and needed the rear seats and I intend to use as a daily driver.
So mine is Shark Blue, Sport Design, Side Skirts, Glass Roof, Rear Seats, PDK, Grey T Interior, Rear Axel Steer, LED PDLS Plus, Folding Mirrors, Privacy Glass, Race Tex Steering Wheel and Storage Lid and Park Assist with Reversing Camera. Configuration here: https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PRPUMXQ6
Thankfully got an allocation just before the price rise - so 'saved' nearly £9k on the current price!
Currently in Phase 3 - entered on the portal about 10 days ago so eagerly anticipating the next movement along!
