I think you might struggle to buy replacement decals anyway; at least for a while.
Did they remove and replace the Carrera T badge on the rear if you didn't delete it? Or did they cut the film to fit around it? Some places really prefer to order a new badge to keep it clean, but I doubt those are readily available yet.

My PPF guy has always asked me to order a second set of rear badges whenever I do paint protection. They like to remove it, paint correct the whole area and apply a new model designation to the back. They usually make a template out of masking tape so they get the placement perfect for applying the new one... I have seen other cars with the cutout and its very noticeable in my opinion

Question for those who know: Why does the 6spd feel so much better than the 7spd? Is it the linkage or the transmission? I'm thinking it's the linkage but I don't know for sure. Maybe it has to do with the 7th gear lockout function.
I have a 987.2S Cayman with a 6speed. The linkage feels smoother and quicker even though it's hard to tell since my T has 100 miles. The T feels much more mechanical instead of fluid like the cables on the 6 speed. I haven't pounded on the T yet but I feel like on track which I use the 987.2 for, the 6 speed is easier to shift fast. Too early to fully know though.
When the 7spd was introduced in 2012, Porsche based that gearbox off of their PDK at the time and The 6spd was built from the ground up... Now in the 992 generation, I believe that the 6spd and 7spd are essentially the "same" transmission, but you are correct that the 6spd has different linkages and a more traditional pattern that make a smoother slightly more enjoyable feel. The nature of the 7th gear changes the pattern and therefor the linkages changed. I have driven both, and I think the 6-speed feels more "traditional" but at the end of the day we are getting to row our own gears in a brand new 911... I'm not going to complain! 22 days and counting for me!!
I think some of it is he is just very used to the six speed whereas the seven speed is new to him. I had a couple of six-speeds that had the dreaded fourth gear skip/jump issue, so I actually prefer the seven speed. As you alluded, and as I mentioned earlier, if you had the original seven speed from the 991 generation, you really appreciate the 992 version!
Warning about RPM's, the shifter and auto-blip: The shifter centers between 3rd and 4th gears, so if you were to make a lazy downshift from 6th to 5th, keep a firm grip otherwise that shifter will snap to center as you go for 5th, which means it will direct your hand to 3rd, causing the auto-blip to rev-match (as you apply pressure upwards, even before engaging 3rd)... to ABOVE 4,000 RPM. (How do I know? Just speaking for a friend ).
Uh oh. There goes your compression. Better do a leak down by 5000 miles.
ok I made a service appointment. I’ll blame the Porsha dealer for posting below on their website if I need a new motor.
BREAKING IN YOUR NEW PORSCHE
The owner's manual is helpful with respect to tires and brakes. The other rules of engagement are, however, a little too conservative. The recommendation of limiting the engine to 4200 rpm may be a little conservative. What you do want is to vary the engine speed. This means you can travel at a given speed, but in different gears. Do not let your engine rev at the same rpm for more than fifteen minutes for the first thousand miles.

Wow, good news. Maybe your motor will be ok after all.

I wished I knew some car industry experts for this kinda advice. People scare me with certain technical posts here. I’m starting to regret buying a MT. Wouldn’t have to worry about these sorts of things including breaking the clutch. Just let the car decide on things for me. It is my first MT in 20 years and was kinda embarrassing stalling in front of all the customers that were staring at me and T leaving the dealership. Should I consider trading it in?!
