Thanks for a great thread, by the way.

Thanks for the compliments.



So the count is up to 13 now. Don't think any other site has a higher count than here.

Good news, it's been a long wait, but will be worth it, I'm sure. Makes me ever more impatient for mine to arrive next year!

One of the nicest 918 I've seen, many many congratulations!

Black is the only colour that really works with Weissach pack in my opinion.

Is your dash signed? It looks like the right side of your dash is signed in the interior shot.

It is, by Dr Walliser.

There could be more signed cars now, but as far as I know mind is the 3rd car he signed, the other 2 had the signatures under the hood, and mine is also the only one under a layer of clear coat.

Spyder wheels painted platinum silver.
Awesome car, and thanks for sharing all of the info!
Is the rear glass different in the Weissach? I've heard that it's thinner and louder, just wondering if you could confirm or offer any comments about this.

Also, have you downloaded the 918 Spyder app? I have the link but I cannot get it to download and install on my iPad (iOS 8.1).

thanks again!

Sorry, don't have the app so can't help you with that.

As for the louder part, the Weissach pack car has less insulation that's why it's louder, the glass is actually the same.

Car was suppose to show up to today, but just got word that it is behind schedule due to weather in the middle of part of the country, it might show up tomorrow or perhaps Saturday depending on weather.

So the wait continues again.....

Sorry to hear about your delay, I know you've been waiting a long time.
Do you plan to clear bra the whole car? After speaking with DD, he recommends paying strict attention to the front wheel vents because of tire spray. My concern is that because (to my knowledge) a full wrap kit doesn't exist to cover these areas, an installer will be required to hand cut these areas from larger sheet. Ive seen too many cars where the clear coat and paint have been scored with a razor knife. Any suggestions on how to properly vet an installer? I wish I knew more about the craft and their techniques, perhaps someone here can interject?

^^^You might want to check the 991GT3 forum. Just go to the particular forum and click " Search this forum ". Put " Clear Bra " and you will find more information about this subject,plus good installers in different areas than Wikipedia has to offer.
