My T is on the vessel, 'Lake Taupo' with ETA to Jacksonville, FL May 11. Today Porsche sent me a link to add the car to 'My Garage' on myporsche.com.

@Pivot what are your thoughts on the interior trim in IGM? I'm leaning toward this color for my build and was wondering how the trim would look in body color for IGM.

Congrats! Zoomed in. Definitely jet-like and metallikee. Also, side decal seems to blend well with the grey rims

Don’t see many posts related to tinting T windows. Is that because people want to be seen from all directions in their bootiful Ts?

Personally I prefer the 922 look without tinting, even though I've had the rear side windows tinted on all previous cars.

If you look at my pictures above and here you can see it. Hard to tell in the reflections. I think it looks great as it brings in the outside color without being overly bright.

^^Agreed, subtle enough. White would have been too bright for my taste.

Im not tinting because I won’t be able to see my leather/ painted hard back seats.

@cyclingismylife , I prefer the standard 992 T interior trim. It looks great and will be durable. It has a bit of a carbon-fiber look to it and it fits beautifully with the Agate Grey ext. accents.

Default Emden shipping

Interesting quote from that article:

“The issue is that it doesnt really matter when these new cars arrived at the port originally as they get penned in - so its not a case of first in first out.”

I must have gotten lucky with this, my car was at Emden for like 1-2 days in late April. Arrived in Houston around midnight this morning.

SA says they see that on occasion and have been told it's likely a car they tested at Porsche headquarters for QC. Doesn't bother me at all. First two impressions in the 15 miles I've driven is I have no idea how you guys are staying under 4k rpm for 1800 miles and that the base audio sucks way worse than I had hoped.


congrats!!! It looks spectacular. That color with the T stripes is fantastic. I saw this color in person for the first time recently and you're right, it does not photograph well but looks amazing in person.

The interior looks great. I regret not bringing color onto the chrono gauge at the very least. But in general, the lizard interior splash of color is great, especially with that exterior color.

Lots of luck with it.

Default side indicator replacements

For the side indicators, if I want to match the executive design rear lights, do I select “clear” or “smoked”?

I wasn’t able to find the OEM euro-spec part on the Porsche website, do I need to call my SA for that?
