Default New Panny E!

Just picked this up for my wife (for our 2 year anniversary). She's coming from a 2018 S5 and couldn't be happier with the change. She drove the RS5 as well and landed on this one. Our quest to Porsche-ize our new garage continues!! (We also have a 718BGTS)
Jet Black Metallic, 21's with gloss black finish, I smoked out the side markers with tinted Xpel....super happy with the results.

Nice, congrats! And happy anniversary! I'm pretty sure though that year 2 isn't "car" on most lists...

Yeah...technically it is supposed to be cotton or china....but that seems absurd....so...a new Porsche just seemed more fitting.

Congratulations! Great looking car, and the e-hybrid thread here almost steered me down that road.

As for the side markers, since there's no OEM clear to be had, I ordered a pair of these:

They've yet to arrive, but when they do I'll post before/after pictures on my vehicle.

I was just kidding on my new husband comment...I've got plenty of gas in the tank for the long haul. FINALLY found the girl of my dreams and don't plan on her (or me) going anywhere. We have a blast together doing various car events, auto-x, etc. She just needed something a little more "interesting". We've been through about 8 cars in the last few years..on our way to where we are now. So much fun.

Running the exercises and track at PEC LA ruined her. She's hooked, and DEFINITELY a keeper.

Sounds like a keeper indeed. Or, she read the comments and this is damage control 😂😂😂

She stops at IG and FB. I told her about the post, she said “Renn what?” I think I’m safe 😜

What level tint are your windows/ was it a difficult process to get done? I've got a similar build- black with same black tires. Supposed to get the windows tinted next week.

We went with 18% on all the windows. Our installer is a good friend of ours and he does LOTS of intricate work and high end cars so the process was easy...and turned out flawless. I did hear a few explanatives while his crew was doing the front quarters. 😂
