Did any of you who've had your orders moved up spec your car with LWB's?

Here is a build sheet I got in May and then one that I got in August. I was not able to spec my car with LWB in May of 2015 - they were not available, so I had to take 18 ways.

Originally my car was due 9/4/15. It moved up to as "early" as 8/21/15. I had a delay in there of a few weeks at the beginning due to SBM paint being discontinued for a few weeks. Then SBM paint came back and my car went back to the original 9/4 end date. It went into production early and was 2 weeks ahead of schedule from then on. Then when it got to San Diego and it sat in PDI (even after cleared) for 11 days as there were no trucks available to deliver it 65 miles up the road to my dealer.

So in the end it was a week early. So you can't really tell when your car will actually come - you can just get a good idea!

Good luck with the wait, it will be worth it.

My build was originally a January build, moved up to December (2015) and actually entered the body shop on 29 November 2015, Completed production on 8 December, on the boat on 29 December and due to arrive 22 January. I think you will see most if not all the remaining production moved forward somewhat so Porsche can complete the production run and move to the new Caymans and Boxsters

My build with sofas:
Freeze date: January 16
Delivery date: April 29

Then I added LWB earlier this week:
Freeze date: January 21
Delivery date: April 15.

I don't understand this logic lol
