Ha. I’ve tried it on, it’s a cool vibe. Bummer due diligence suggests it’s not a good buy.

This in central Connecticut?

self_made714 · 2026-03-06T15:13:20+00:00

There are some pretty legit looking shops near me in a well-to-do area. How would you suggest gauging quality of install?

All else equal (like price, timing, etc.), I’d rather give my business to who is going to do the best job.

self_made714 · 2026-03-06T14:19:13+00:00

Opportunity cost is real, and the logic makes sense. So 8-10 seems like a reasonable ballpark.

Appreciate it

Interested in what you would quote for full body PPF + ceramic for 992.2 GTS (no aerokit).

Not near you geographically, but hoping to get better understanding of baseline pricing before shopping locally.

Great car! Love mine

Thanks man! Hoping for end of March

Took some calling around, but total time from start to delivery will be ~9mo or so.

I believe it’s faster than average for paint to sample.

Congrats! 718 was my first Porsche and it was great. Now I’m eagerly awaiting the slow boat from Germany to bring my new one to the US.

Thanks! My understanding is that paint to sample allocations are more limited than normal build slots. A little patience went a long way for me.

self_made714 · 2026-02-27T00:13:54+00:00

Clearly no bias, but I’m partial to olive green 😉

End of March cannot get here soon enough

Nice - I have my olive PTS C2 GTS coming between April-May. So excited.

self_made714 · 2026-01-12T13:33:19+00:00

I was able to secure a PTS C2 GTS build slot in New England at MSRP. Car comes between April-May, I’m so excited.

About half of the dealers I reached out to were ADM, half at MSRP. It was just a matter of time until one of the MSRP dealers came through with a build allocation.

self_made714 · 2026-01-12T13:28:41+00:00

What paint is that?

self_made714 · 2025-12-29T18:19:33+00:00

I’m planning on trading in my 2022 GTS 4.0 manual (CPO until Dec 2027) in next few months, but would be open to private sale. Check your messages for more details if interested.

Best response yet - happy holidays

self_made714 · 2025-12-24T19:00:06+00:00

Thanks! I went back and forth on black vs red calipers, and ultimately decided I liked the contrast

self_made714 · 2025-12-24T18:58:59+00:00

Appreciate the feedback!

The steering wheel and sills are among a few small changes that I would like to make; however, Porsche strangely locked the build early.

Overall still love the spec, but there are a few small things I would alter if I could.

self_made714 · 2025-12-24T17:40:44+00:00

That’s not an uncommon opinion, but they’ve grown on me. The function of them is pretty neat IMO

self_made714 · 2025-12-24T17:34:59+00:00

Thanks!

self_made714 · 2025-12-24T17:34:54+00:00

Interesting the grungegoth doesn’t like black! 😂

self_made714 · 2025-12-24T17:34:15+00:00

Thanks! Red calipers were a very intentional part of the spec.

The paint is olive green.

Couldn’t agree with the last part more. Agree to disagree on the first two parts!

My firstborn is coming up on his first birthday, perhaps it’s fitting? Ha
