Finally pulled the trigger!
Thanks for all the information here!!! I’ve been reading for over three years and finally found my dream car and pulled the trigger. 2011 997.2 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet. Alcantara deletion. Every option I wanted, but couldn’t afford until I found this one. Only 16,500 miles. New top already put on, old clear bra removed, PERFECT body so color correction had to happen as well as all new clear bra with about 85% coverage followed by protective ceramic coating. Removed the 22% black tint and went with 40% ceramic tint on all the windows and 75% on the windshield. Clear side markers are finally on and new black and aluminum door sills installed (couldn’t stand the few scuffs!!).
Im in love....

Beauty. Looks like it just came off the assembly line. You'll love every mile in it but you already knew that

A well respected shop owner I brought it to for the color correction told me he had good news and bad news....”I’ve never seen a 2011 without one rock ding or imperfection in the body, that’s the good news. The bad news is you’re going to be spending a lot of money protecting it so it stays that way.”
After he took off the old yellowing clear bra and worked his magic I was amazed at the transformation of the car. Pure magic!!
