clear bra is usually double due to raw materials costs

I should say 3-5K for a wrap, depends if you want design work for stripes, numbers etc.
Also, only my doors and rear hood are wrapped once, the rest is double or tripple wrapped to get more protection, but clear bra is still thicker!

For a 2010 GT3, there are two options that need to be checked:

option 789 997 Paint To Sample $ ?
option 25901 Exterior Color to Sample $ ?

I think the costs add up to about $6500.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong. $5500 + $7500 = $13,000 if you want PTS plus mirrors, wheels, front intake and wing plates painted anything but red or gold. I am a little pissed right now because I ordered black wheels, thinking they would be no more than the GT3 ($1630) or the previous RS ($2160) but they just sent me a new Pro Forma showing the black wheels at $3395, plus a bump in option CLA from $1105 to $1295, CMN from $1010 to $1195 and the FREE floor mats are now $90. Oh, and it included the notification: "NO CHANGES ARE POSSIBLE". I am so done with those Bas*ards.

p.s. This was a 2010 order that they bumped to 2011 with a $2700 increase in base price... making the car $4400 more than the original order!

Damn, $3395 can paint a lot of black wheels...or you can wrap your entire car in matt black with this money...

Wait wait wait wait wait wait; can they even do that to you? If you were locked in for a 2010 and the factory couldn't do it and instead bump you to 2011 that is their fault, not yours! That will have to come out of their pockets not yours. After all they are the world's most profitable car company right?

No way in hell I would take that, have you tried your local PCNA rep yet about this issue? Also is the dealer passing this information along? Because I can see where they would benefit off this transaction.

Makes you wonder doesn't it? Why not make them all 2012 models with a new base price of $159,900!

2011 RS is the extra-light version. they wanted to make sure our wallet was lighter too. thanks porsche!
p.s. i just noticed the bump on CLA. that was sneaky. my mats still show $0 on pro-forma.
