What happened to your famous avatar?

Thanks for the tips. There are a couple of reputable places around, but they charge an arm and a leg. I’m on the fence about it, would hate to pay someone for a job I can do myself. But at the same time, if they do a good job, might be worth the money to save me the headache.

Sadly, we are still not an autonomous tribe. Don’t we have a doctor? I would be surprised.

@ECNJ your car looks amazing and good for you for building a stripper. Mine's also A1 black and $128k. Basically stripper with a nice (to me) interior. Mine should've arrived Friday. It could be today! Pics of your car have kept me inspired through these past couple of weeks. BTW, I too almost got a GT4 and glad I didn't.
The audio 100% is getting upgraded and I’m leaning towards an exhaust but want to drive it around more with PSE first. Other than that, it’s exactly as I hoped. I haven’t really tested the brakes yet, since I’m so used to downshifting and braking from my past sports cars. Only difference, T is so much easier to drive. Gearbox is getting butterier as the day passes. Glad to hear pics helped u with the waiting pain. U R almost there! I’m sure you’ll love it.

Thanks. Well, was able to finally test drive a GT4. It’s definitely cool, but I’m now 100% glad of my T decision. All of my car industry buds kept saying get a 992 MT T and I know why now! They would break down the intricacies of the engineering that went into everything…results are no accident. For me, having had bigger cars it really feels like a go cart to me. The body lines on the T is clean so not sure if I’ll do anything to the body (not 100% yet). I actually liked the GT4 wing…all existing T wings not my style. Ha, I know someone that could design me a 1of1. The audio 100% is getting upgraded and I’m leaning towards an exhaust but want to drive it around more with PSE first. Other than that, it’s exactly as I hoped. I haven’t really tested the brakes yet, since I’m so used to downshifting and braking from my past sports cars.

2. The 911 is the better road car
I have little interest in the other Carrera variants. I have a deposit on a GT3 Touring that I would trade the T for but will wait and see as the T may very well be the better car for my intended use and preferences.

Ha! Thought I would switch it up a little bit and then couldn’t find anything I liked. I’ll give this one a try. Nothing gets by you, @Macboy!

Hmm… @The911Don , I am not sure if I should be asking your profession. The less you know…

@Pivot Nano Bond. I’ve used it on my other cars. Easy application and cheap.
@ECNJ is this the product? Please send me the link.
I see one on Amazon:

And I see one on Ali:

@Pivot and anyone else getting their car ceramic coated: whether you do it yourself or you get a shop to do it, the only thing that matters is the % content of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2). SiO2 is very expensive so cheap products will have none or just enough to claim it has it. If you want quality product, look for high concentration. However, good product is very expensive.

@Wilder thanks for the intel!
Ceramic coating of my previous P car was over £700, so it makes sense.
The Amazon listed product claims 80% of SiO2. Ali is referencing Graphene, so probably diff compounds with vaguely related name.
