Congratulations on your new GT4. I've had mine (GT Silver) for a week since collecting it from the PPF installer (where I drove straight from the dealer). 700 miles so far. I'm thrilled with the car and hope you will be too. Enjoy!

They are delivered like this and the dealer installs the black lip.

Does the zip tie simply wrap around the upper and lower halves of the duct itself, or does the zip tie go around the duct assembly and an adjacent body/chassis part?

They shipped like this. The black rubber lip is installed prior to delivery (not sure if at PDI or at the dealership)

Well, went to see my car this afternoon and tomorrow it will be shipped to Chicago. Only took a couple photos but more to come this weekend. Initial impressions:

CR is just very rich and elegant on the GT4. Pretty stoked. It was not as much "in your face" as I expected. If you can call red conservative this color actually accomplishes that. I can see why some one would prefer GR(brighter/louder) but I think it is very cool looking

Yellow stitching - Very low key. I was expecting it to be loud. It is actually very mild and subtle. Should of gotten the Yellow belts but very happy with yellow stitching. It just kind of works with the CF Trim- Kind of gives the inside a subtle pop.

Love the size if the steering wheel. Just freakin perfect and looks and feels great in leather. If I had alcantara would like it equal but prefer leather

LWBs - Boy- when you plop in to these you feel like your ready for battle. Really cool looking, as well, but will have to get used to the upright driving position. You can not just recline the top section and relax.

I loaded the car up pretty darn nicely but it does not appear that way. It all just comes together so nicely. It is a real pretty car. Aesthetically is more appealing to me that the 991 GT3. There is some thing about the proportions that are just perfect. Now - I think the 991 GT3 is the best looking iteration but this GT4 has slightly one-upped it I think

Also - love the tail lights and how they just blend in with the CR Body. No GTS tail lights for me.

More to come

Oh - Have decided to wrap the roof in Satin Black - Called my installer and he is ordering the film

Nice! Carmine is definitely a gorgeous color and I kind of wish I had ordered it instead of White sometimes.

When is it gonna get here? Spoke with my detailer today and he mentioned your car was coming in soon for the Xpel.

I know two other GT4 owners nearby. We should get together for a drive this summer before I go back to California.

Totally agree about how good the taillights blending into the body looks, as well as the black lettering on the dark red tail. Enjoy and welcome to the CR club!

Very nice build, Jimmy... congrats as well! Last Friday, I also received my CR GT4... and wow the car is amazing in & out. And kinda like yours, my build has yellow interior trim components. Also has the PCCBs.
