Nice! I love it. Welcome to the club. Especially fond of the "Delete Model Designation". Did that to my '06 after sale. Stealthy.
You now drive the ultimate Porsche twin turbo V8 enigine mounted in a safe, surefooted, lux speed pod.
After break-in... PSM off, manual shift whenever possible. As long as premium is at or below $2/gallon anyway.

Still looking for the break-in period in the manual. Sales guy said 2000 - 2500 miles and stay away from too many trips to redline in that period.

Very Nice. Be sure to post a pic with you and your vehicle up top (Admin thread). Only complaint with the "re-do" is the encased tail pipes.. still think the Tit.S dual exposed are the best looking of all the variants. Question is the pic at loading level or is it the 21's?

Originally my only squawk with our Cayenne was it came with Yokohamas instead of Michelins and there was no way in the order process to request Michelins. I was back at the dealer to pick up a couple of battery chargers and was talking with the sales guy about how Porsche should at least let you request any of the various tire makes that were OE if you're ordering the car. He said "let me see what I can do".
Turned out they had a GTS in stock with our wheel and Michelins - the only Cayenne on the lot with that combo. Now they have no Cayennes on the lot with our wheel and Michelins, but they do have another one with our wheel and Yokohamas. And I'm now a completely happy camper. The Michelins ride a little quieter and they don't hunt in the grooved sections of the roadway like the Yokos did.

Looks great - Like LTC said - purchase an extra alignment "thingie" for when you are changing out rims (two total if you use the one that comes with your Cayenne) as on my "Cayenne S" on rim swaps - those heavy beasts I think I did "lightly" touch a rotor once or twice.
