Thank you Graeme’s T! That is pretty much my exact build - including the gloss black wheels. Really appreciate it. Think my mind is made up now (maybe).
It sounds like they just need to stay away from the edges. I'd get it in writing that if they damage the glass, they pay to replace it with lightweight glass. I'm told it's extremely expensive to replace.
I would encourage everyone to just order it with the decal because really its part of the cars character. Much like my 74 Carrera it was designed to have it. If you don't like it takes literally minutes to remove it and that way you have the choice to drive it with it on for a while and if it doesn't suit you then its a no cost option to just remove it.
I ordered the decal delete. I'm 100% sure I don't want it - in fact, since my car was built two months ago at a time when the factory was apparently ignoring the decal delete option, I've emailed Joey 3x to ask if someone can check my car in storage at Leipzig to make sure I won't have an unwanted surprise on Euro Delivery day. I still have no answer. I'll be pissed if they pull the cover off on 8/22 and I have side decals. I respect anyone's choice to get them, but I just don't like any decals or stripes on my own cars. And I have to say, the side decal on the T really doesn't work at all on Gentian Blue - I think it looks fine on any other color but as I said it's just not my thing. I don't need to "test drive" having side decals on my car.
Yes - thinking about driving my '72T out to Rennsport. I used to live in your neck of the woods and drove my '87 930 to the first Rennsport at Lime Rock.
Cool - PM me if you end up going and if you want to meet up there at some point. I'd love to see your '72T.
@Barkat03 Wanted to send u this so u can see when u wake up. Met with my audio guy today. He took a look at my T also. Mentioned the factory system doesn’t have a separate amp (Euro version may be different). Anyway, u can go 2 different ways without breaking bank to improve to a good enough level. As mentioned, I want a good blend of car engine, induction, exhaust (I even heard a bit of turbo whistle today) sounds with better music sound. Option 1 - Replace the 4 door speakers and 2 dash twitters and add an amp to drive them. In USD, about $2,500 installed. He anticipates good improvement but may still be lacking with bass ( depending on individual expectations) Option 2 - He thinks u can leave the factory system in place (again, if going for good blend car and music sound combo) and add a sub box with built-in amp to increase significant bass. He said u really have to add even a small box for good bass which is what I thought he’d say. Perfect spot on 992 rear deck to add with no drilling/mounting. Strong Velcro only. If removed later, no residual effects he said. He personally makes custom car audio harnesses so no factory wire cutting either. I think it’s important to find an installer that understands how some of us Porsha owners are particular about being able to revert anything to factory/stock if desired. Cost about 1,000 USD installed. Likely what I’ll do. I’ll share report later on how much I like/dislike it if I do it. I’m still considering. I like to take my time with mods. Do it right…do it once.
Ridiculous comparo, but still cool that the T with summer tires is only .05 seconds slower than a GT3RS with Cup 2Rs on a small course. Same tires, that might drop by half. Beauty of the turbos.
Track my dream shows production completed on the 14th with no dates for next steps (have been pushing the whole time for Leipzig delivery and it was what pushed me over into placing my order). Euro Delivery coordinator still doesn't have dates. Trying to patiently wait for either a delivery date update or a "on the way to port Emden" notice.
Edit: Oh yeah. And I only got the "Assembly" photo so I won't even know what shoes its wearing.
Ugh - and I was uncharacteristically optimistic for you - I hope it's not too late! And I'm not just saying that cz I don't want to be the last person to get their 2023 Carrera T in the US.
Car just arrived at the dealership! Can't wait till Friday!
Driving straight to my Auto Detail Guy. Matt PPF and already have my clear side markers
Really thinking I need a pop of yellow on the outside.... My PPF guy suggested one of the last 2 pics... Mulling it over
Still pissed PCCB wasn't an option, oh well
Maybe this one... but honestly if it were me, Id just get the calipers painted and say screw it to everyone that thinks thats not allowed.
I've got rubystar coming, and the interior is all black with Yellow belts. I also wanted to tie the yellow from the inside to the outside and I am still giving a lot of thought to Yellow Calipers in order to do that.

I have gotten some S*it for suggesting that. But I agree only thing that truly matters is what I think. Thats still on the table as well but for me it goes both ways with the grey all tying together as well. My PPF guy also suggested making the PORSCHE lettering on the calipers yellow. Keeping this car forever so i'll do whatever the F i want to with it
About the glass I completely forgot to mention it here!! My front window has cracked as wel. This has never happened to me before. And it was a day before the trackday. Maybe something is not right? We need to wait and see if more issues arrive. Glass is untouched by my dealer so no PPF or any other treatment on this window.
I will make a picture from the outside tomorrow. It very much looks the same as his where the break-line goes to the outside of the glass, or maybe it just started from there?
it looks like a stress related crack after a bird-strike or something, as you have visible point of contact where three lines meet. Then the crack ran up to the stress-point. Must be very disappointing on a new car!
