Also v300 as of today. Looks like I'll be riding along with you boys. Giddy up.
Sounds like production of the T s are in full swing now. Actually 1 day earlier than the originally estimated v300 date - knock on wood.

@ECNJ Did you say you were going to add some tech art parts? I've been looking into the side skirts and maybe rear diffuser. Do you have an installer you like?

I figured. Because if u saw my Rennlist avatar, you’d recognize that car. Back in the day, he was doing his residency at UCLA and he helped me install a full HKS exhaust system on it. Ha, we didn’t jack up car. So cheap I didn’t even own a jack. Both barely squeezed under to replace massive bolt-on system. He kept complaining that he’d kill me if he damaged his insured million $ hands for surgery. Ahhhh…so many good memories working on sports cars back in the day!

The Sport design conundrum... a point of much rennlist debate over the years I know. However I feel it's even more nuanced on the Carrera T.

+ My thoughts (just mine)
- Full looks lower and wider (front and sides) and more aggressive rear stance with the exhausts etc. Work for me 100% on a black car.

- However
- With lighter colours is the side line more natural without? Non side skirt owners, whats your view?
- I've noticed a few builds with front sport design and no rear, is this because of the paint coloured gills?
- With the above in mind is the front sport design with side and rear an odd move? (as per this build)

Thanks collective build advisors!
SD package looks amazing. The price does not.

Hey bro! Still considering. Want to wait until I actually possess T first, ha. Looking into local shops. I have an awesome wrapper if you’re PPFing yours. I stopped by his shop and he’s currently working on a Ferrari SF90, Ford GT, Lamborghini, etc. including one for Coachella. I couldn’t leave that candy store. We clicked and he’s hooking me up big time on price. My T will be his simplest job. PM me if u want details.

How long do the boats usually stay at port? My car is scheduled to arrive at the german port on 5/12.

I bought the SD Front Fascia and SD Side skirts, wasn't a fan of the rear fascia. I love the look I have gotten.

Standard with darker colors. SD maybe with light and bright colors.

My build finished three days ahead of schedule (5/3), VIN 6061, and is headed to Emden where it's scheduled to depart 5/10. I'm taking delivery at PEC ATL and have been told they will contact me to confirm possible delivery dates once it's on the ship.

Agree with that ... I've gone Shark Blue with the full SD kit (not gloss though) and side skirts and I think it will look amazing!

My fall back if I had not managed to get in before the price rise was a Black one without.

Glad you are happy! I saw the SD package at my dealer and was instantly in love, especially when comparing to a 992 sitting next to it that didn’t have it. The in-person comparison was super helpful. So I bit the bullet, I just tried to not think about the price lol. I absolutely love the rear bumper and I think it complements the front fascia perfectly. I skipped the side skirts, as I may do the GT3 ones or leave as is.
