phillip, glad you enjoyed the Wynn.

btw, dont paint the rear spoiler all white. when you see the carbon weave in person i think you will like it. it is not the usual cheap faux carbon waves. it's as nice as my colnago tubes.

It is almost a twin to my car except for the white end caps on the wing. The dealer had no clue. They told me it was body color by default. They came in black. I wasn't sure if I wanted the white wheels but am glad I stayed with silver. It is more subtle and classy. I would highly recommend you add grills to the front openings below the bumper. a stone goes thru your radiator will cost you a couple grand. The Cup cars have them but they are kind of protruding. I went with black mesh behind the openings. It does not detract from the looks at all. When you take delivery, can you please check under the carpet behind the seats to see it your car has plates welded in for the roll cage? Some RS have them and some do not. Cannot figure it out

Thanks for the post Jeff. I just spent an hour trying to combine and shrink 7 pictures. scss98, do you have a picture of your car with the grills?

since I am only a user, I can't upload pictures but would be happy to email them separately to you. If you subscribe to excellence, you may have seen the Farnbacher Loles Red Cayman S with the 3.8 engine. It has the same grill that sits behind the bumper. I don't know where they get it from but it is relatively inexpensive to put in. They did a beautiful job. I see that you got the leather steering wheel. Looks like it is thicker, and no yellow strip. The carbon trim looks sharp. Guess you will replace those mirrors with carbon fibre housing too?

postscript someone showed me how to upload. here it is

Am trying to spec my RS but told can't have black decals.

Seems I can have blue or red.

I know a number of US buyers have white with black - was this direct from Porsche?

Also have any European buyers managed to spec black decals on a white car?

I'm UK based.

Regards

Philip, that's beautiful.

Did your car come with the rollbar mounting plates?

FL Porsche - rules say that we are obliged to include a price in any for sale post. I see several where the price has not been included. Please correct them or a mod will be obliged to remove them.

Thanks
