Thanks guys. I picked up the offending inner door bracket from the dealer this morning and fixed the wobbly drivers door handle. Hooked everything back up and no power windows/mirrors....nothing. Remembered I forgot to unhook the battery. So I did that and I guess it reset the ECU so it works fine. Priced out some Michelins....wow, they are not cheap. My TR tires run about $150 a corner. Nobody has them in stock and I still have some life in these so im gonna defer this until after the holidays. I also have a dead TPMS sensor on the rear left so I get the added bonus of having to look at a ghetto message on the display until new tire day. Read somewhere that you can disable the TPMS with a Duratech? I hate TPMS....thats what a good tire gauge is for. Rant over.
Thoughts; Beautiful evolution of the 911. Cumbersome NAV/Headunit. I need to sit down with the manual and go over what all the buttons do, sans the telephone and mail. I might get a SIM card out of a Wallmart burner phone just to activate the system. The 'sport mode?' on the shocks totally transforms the car into a track superstar. Wife wants to get me new floor mats for Christmas, I might go with beige or blue. I have blue mats in my Range Rover and it compliments the tan interior plus hides dirt better than beige.

There's a thread a while back with diff colored mats for beige interiors. I got cocoa. Hides dirt & adds a bit of contrast. Other colors posted, if you wish to get a preview.
Congrats on the new car.
