Thanks all.

Yes- Just got of the phone with the GM. The are perplexed by this, as well, on how this could of been missed. They are working with Porsche to try to get them them overnight them in CR(you know that is not going to happen) . I am not picking the car up until May 10th so we have time. He also said they could have them sent to their body shop guy and have them perfectly done. I said I would prefer to have them shipped from Porsche and not go the other route. He does not disagree because he said they(Porsche) are going to pay for it for certain. Now - I said my biggest concern is that other things could be missing and would like every option confirmed that was checked off. They are going to review all the boxes I checked right now and will call me back. I told them I do not like surprises and would like this all confirmed sooner than later

I hope this is the only issue. - will keep you all updated.

You must be excited! You should be! You'll be all grin soon!

Update - The GM went over the whole car twice and this is the only mess up missing the headlight washers painted in exterior color. They feel quite confident that within the week they will have them from the factory. They will keep me updated thru the whole process.

^Funny - when the GM called me to update he made a joke saying - "You did not order buckets???"- my heart almost came out of my chest. I actually did not find it too funny

Thanks - I also asked it they can enable the G-Force and Rev meter. They are looking in to it

I just spoke to my SA and he is going to find out immediately if they install the that during PDI. Does not sound right but if any one knows let me know but how could this be missed if that is the case.




I've been waiting to hear you quote pacino! Congrats!

It was how I would of PTS my 991 GT3 if I could of ever of had the opportunity. It was destiny when you could order that color for a GT4. Really stoked right now. Not having a toy in my garage to enjoy on a nice day has been killing me the last 3 months

Congrats Jimmy-D. Can't wait to see it when you get it home to Chicago. My build finally locked a week and a half ago.

Congrats and enjoy for many miles in the best of health!

Too bad about the headlight washers but that's a minor, easy fix.
Hoping they can get them right before it lands in your garage.

Chin spoiler is installed at PDI and is shipped inside the cabin wrapped in plastic.

First you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the woman, then you get the GT4.

Killer car Jimmy-D.
