I did take the allocation, I certainly didn't want to miss out and the sooner I get the car the better in my mind.

1. Did you get the OEM ones from Porsche (GT3 Side Skirt Set SKU: PQ69315), if so, how well do they match the Agate Gray that the T comes with?
2. How hard was it to install? Or if you had the dealer do it, how many labor hours did they quote you?

Thanks!
They were OEM and supplied by the dealership and they fitted while I waited… took no time at all.
I’m delighted with them and they match up nicely! I think it gives the car a lovely stance… I notice them every time I go in the garage! Even my wife agreed it was a good upgrade!

Definitely improves the stance! I just hope I can see it in person someday. 😂. Originally supposed to leave port on 4-24.

I think my SA felt bad about the quality of the previous two pics and sent me a few more. I'm just happy it's landed.

Thank you. Will keep the board posted.

Default 2000 mile update

Well after a month of ownership, I finally reached 2000 miles last week. I somehow had the restraint to not rev past 4k and maybe hit 5k once when having to pass a few cars on a single lane road for the first 2000 miles. Winding the T out to 7.5K RPM in 3rd gear to approximately 120 mph is like driving a whole new car. The exhaust sound is intoxicating and it's really fast!

It sounds and feels like a NA car....almost GT3 like. Had a chance to drive a 992 GT3 on a track day and the power and sound of the T is honestly similar.

Watched a youtube video of a 992 oil change, looks easy enough. Ordered a oil change kit from FCP Euro and plan to change it ASAP now that the break in is complete.

If you plan to PPF the front, do it ASAP and don't wait until you have 1300 miles on the car like I did. Just a few little nicks here and there....but I should have just been patient and waited until my appointment. Having the ceramic coat is great, especially here in FL where the car eats bugs. They just come right off when washing.

I know everyone is complaining about the base stereo. A week ago I would have told you it's awful, but I think I found the correct settings to now call it ok and borderline good. Whenever I get a compact rental car with a cheap sound system I always adjust the treble to a notch or two below max and set the bass down to the middle. I also had it set this way in the T and it just didn't sound good. Counter intuitive to my rental car logic, I now have the bass up to max, and the treble just a little above half way. Picture attached. Sounds waaaay better, now has some depth, bass surprisingly isn't distorted and the treble is nice and clear. Curious to see what others think after they try it out.




Also attached is a picture of my new cheesy personalized plate. I think only Porsche and car guys will get it....that was the intent anyway.




The T is such an incredible car and is so fun to drive. The wait is well worth it! If you already have one, I have no doubt you're enjoying it as much as I am.

I think I might be the only person in this thread who ordered a T without the door decal. Did you get the sports design front fascia? Cant tell from the pic.

No SD for me. My original order had de decal and emblem delete. I put them back in because they're easy enough to remove if I decide to do so.

Well done, good man!

Grey decals on black paint send subliminal messages, depending on your retina

I did the emblem delete also. I will probably add them back on as well. I still have plenty of time to change my spec. Freeze point 9/20/23 😭

Love the ghosted vibe of the Agate against black. The plan is to continue with that them but with different decals. But no final decisions until I see them in person.

Strongly suggest you put it back in. Like I said, easy to delete but harder to buy and install if you order it deleted and change your mind when it arrives.

Didnt I read somewhere that anyone that deletes the door decals is immediately banned from this forum?
Cant remember where or who said it?
Perhaps I saw it in the Terms & Conditions.
