Great color, very disappointed it went out of normal production, before I could get an allocation. Can I ask what you paid relative to MSRP?

MSRP was 172. Really close to it

Some dealers have been providing these as a courtesy...Mine did, you just have to ask!

They literally take 3 minutes to install...not tools needed

Pirellis are fine. Don’t worry what the internet says.

Agree. Pirellis are fine. And don’t void your CPO to add a bunch of horsepower that is mostly useless on the street and will just wear everything out faster.

Things I did that I have liked:

- Blendmount/wiretap radar detector
- Weathertech or your choicee of good protective mats
- Cargraphic and cat-back exhaust mod
- Tinting/ PPF/ Ceramic appetite depending
- DB carbon or wrap the console bits to reduce the glass plastic

Enjoy, you're going to love it!
Good advice here. I would also add Numeric shifter and Sportshifter **** to this list.

Congrats! Super nice spec.

I too recently started my Porsche journey after coming from a C8. While the C8 is a great car for the $ spent, a 911 just hits different and I’m pretty sure you will really appreciate the differences between the two.

as others have mentioned, clear side markers will look better on your Aventurine, especially since you have the clear taillights and it’s cheap enough and easy swap.

Grille screens from RGS or Zunsport to name a couple will help protect your condensers just like on the C8. Other than those items mentioned, just live with the car for a bit before making too many changes.

Another inexpensive option and the option to lower your shifter with a heavier ****, Sportshifter.com has some great customization options that again, are super to swap out and give a much better fell when shifting IMO. Cargraphic controller is something else to think about if you like a little more growl on the exhaust that can keep you valves open at your discretion but certainly not a necessity at this point.

Go drive and have fun.

one more: get a battery trickle charger. Any mfgr’r that offers quick connects. Mount quick connects to battery terminals.

My dealer installed them without asking before I took delivery.

Very nice! I love the color. You may want to invest in a dash cam. Lots of bad drivers out there. Mine was an easy install, plugged into the OBD port. All you do is run the wire up the pillar and across the headliner. Installing the rear facing camera was a bit more of a challenge.





Edit: one thing I like about the camera. It’s a THINKWARE U3000. It has a built-in radar that if someone walks by the car while parked or drives by the car, it starts recording. Works for the rear camera as well.
