What is a "monroney". car took around a week from end of build to make it to port. updates in system didn't happen in real time. by the time it showed at port it was already on boat. hope that helps

Yes its created right after the PDI is completed. My PDI and monroney was completed on 08/04 and was just wondering how long yours took from then to leave the port. Dealer is only 4 hours away from port so this wait blows.

Hello NOPDK,

Love the car, and congratulations. The window tint and the black wheels looks amazing!

Re: your pictures of the floor mats, am I correct in assuming those are the optional Porsche Exclusive floor mats? I think the contrast looks great.

Thanks. The mats are Lloyds ultimate mats ordered from Suncoast. You can select the font and trim color. I haven't seen the OEM leather ones in person but the pricing was extreme on those. The lloyds are more reasonable. I was hoping to put "GT4" on the mats as they do make a "GT3" one but Lloyds haven't licensed the name GT4 from Porsche so they couldn't produce what I wanted. "GT4" would have been better but it looks good with the "PORSCHE" in yellow. I had these mats on my 991 for 3 years and they hold up great and much better quality than the OEM.

I'm surprised it needed that much correction! I guess it goes to show that you should do or have done paint correction prior to applying clear bra or a nice coating.
