Ok, so... WOW! How did you get the door decals and the door sill decals? I'd love the door sill decals in python green.

I missed boat number two last night. Frustrated doesn't even begin to describe how I'm feeling right now. I'm going to stop looking at TYD because I keep getting let down. Received my allocation in December, car made it to port 5/8 and looks like it's not getting on a boat until 6/22 with a late July delivery. I'm getting married late July so even if that schedule holds I won't be able to pick my car up until mid August. Wonderful.....

Thanks but the software does all the work. Also, the T owners here are uploading some super clean shots!

To the person that just sent me PM. I don’t think u post messages here. I was going to respond PM but I decided to put it here instead since others may also find it beneficial. I appreciate you saying how much u find my posts to be helpful. Glad they actually make a difference. And don’t be shy….join us here on the conversations. If anyone here makes a stupid or disrespectful comment, just ignore it. I come here with no hidden agenda and open mind. I am very glad to have signed onto RList little over a month ago!

As for your question. Yes, the MT on the T is incredibly easy to drive. I believe that even if one is a beginner (nothing to be ashamed of) you’ll quickly feel comfortable with it. The clutch is beyond forgiving. I have not stalled it once yet even if after not driving a MT in 20 years. Once, I purposefully let the clutch way out to see if it would stall. It did shudder a bit but that was it to my amazement. So, clearly tech is involved here unlike the MT from my 20 years ago days. Last comment. This car clearly 100% would not be as fun to drive if it was PDK. 1,000% sure of it. Trust me. You’ll be fine with the MT!

My car has been glasscoated. Wheels included. This could be the reason that brake dust settles less easy?

My latest arrival: guards red key

Both of my cars are ceramic coated, but the brake dust was MUCH more on the Cayman. It was so bad that I swapped pads to Carbonite low dust, which aren't great pads. I wish PowerStop made their Z26 pads for the Porsche. Those were great on my GT350.

Congrats! Great spec. Did you lower the car? It looks like it is in the second picture.

I sent the PM! And thank you for your response. It’s actually the collective effort from the contributors to this thread that has made me want to order a manual trans. I’m very happy excited but slightly nervous.
