Default 4 year wait is OVER. My 997.2 GTS PDK

Hey guys,

This is my first time in the "997" section of this forum. For the past 4 years I've been lurking in the 991 section and have spent the last 4 years researching and re-researching my first Porsche. Yesterday I went to the dealer to put a deposit for a 991.2 C2S. I thought I should sleep on it one more night. Today I pulled the trigger on this 997.2 GTS w PDK, Aerokit, sport chrono package plus, PASM w limited slip dif AND bucket seats!!!

I am absolutely thrilled. Please take a look and give me your thoughts!
Car has 16,000KMs

I don't want to ruin the look of this car. But I am contemplating a 3M Intense Blue Gloss wrap. How do you think that would look with white wheels? (tacky?) or make the wheels also gloss black as well? or keep as is? K I am just too excited at the moment.

That's a great looking car. I wouldn't change a thing except for clear side markers and new stone guards. Congrats.

Thank you so much! Is it a fairly easy job to change the stone guards? And do I order through Porsche or suncoast? thanks again

Looks great, I'd keep it as is. Wheels in a gunmetal would look nice. I'm not big on black wheels, not much pop.

Are you happy with your C4S? I see it's a Weissach car. I actually talked to Mike there before I made my purchase, he said it was a good car and I went for it.

Beautiful car. Were you able to negotiate with the dealer much?

Lovely car, I like the white, save the $ you were going to spend on the wrap for other things
