Always nice to see another blue Porsche. Beautiful. Love the aerokit. Congrats and enjoy in good health.

The people at my dealership (Bluegrass Porsche) are great. They were even so kind as to not look at me funny when I asked them to put on the lowering springs and allow me to take the car home fully wrapped. I guess they understand that I am not well in my mind when it comes to the minutia on these cars, so they did as much as they could to make the delivery serene for me.

Then there was the ordering process...I don't know how they don't cringe when I walk in there. I must have driven them crazy with questions and changes to the order all last Fall. But I believe, and I hope they believe, it was worth the hassle because the car is really stunning.

Great car in a rare color! Which lowering springs did you have installed?

I got the Techart lowering springs. I also considered the GMG springs but went with the Techarts based on the recommendations of a few guys on this forum who either had or had had them on their cars and liked them. I am very happy so far with the Techarts.

"She" is Tanya Memme, the hostess of TLC's "Sell this House" which airs on Saturday mornings. The only thing better than her appearance is her personality.

Addictively, stunningly beautiful (I just copied some of your pix so I can have quicker access to them). Interior accents are very tastefully done. Congrats!

Thanks, again, all.

Originally I was going to paint the seatbacks and do the seatbelts and deviating stitching in Riviera blue, but PCNA/PAG nixed those ideas. They claimed there was a "supplier issue" with all three requests. The painted rear center console and the seatbelt outlets were Plan B, and I think it all worked out OK.

The "supplier issue" implied longer waits or just prohibited execution?

I was wondering about deviated stitching and seatbacks myself when I looked at the pics.
