I heard this morning that may car is through PDI, has a window sticker and is going on a truck soon. If I'm lucky it will show up at my dealer this afternoon, but worst case they expect it early next week.

Mine was on that boat. Was told on Wednesday that it had been through customs but not yet through PDI.

However, as luck would have it Porsche is apparently upgrading their New Car Status system. It went dark at the end of the day yesterday and won't be back up until the 6th or 7th. So dealers are blind. No way right now for any of them to know where their cars are until them. In the case of San Diego or LA cars, they might just show up at the dealers completely unannounced on the 4th-6th.

This mysterious vessel has caused us to keep moving a detail/clear bra appointment for our client. But in the end, it'll be all worth it

Moe, does the paint protection film swirl like paint does? Is there a way to correct it if it does swirl? Thanks!

Each film is different. The one we use, XPEL Ultimate, does not swirl easy. It's not impossible, but it's one of the best films out there and durability is one reason why. If you do get swirls or get minor issues, it's self-healing properties are best on the market. Most times, slight heat, say from warm water, takes care of most issues.

But the biggest avoidance of swirls, is to use proper products, tools, and techniques, to avoid them in the first place. It's easier to avoid them than it is to fix them.

Not today. Dealer mentioned they don't usually get cars delivered over the weekend, so likely early next week.

Thumbs up XPEL Ultmate Clear Film install - Group Buy

Since several of you have PMd me about installing XPEL Ultimate on your 991, I'm putting this out there. If we can get 10 of you, we have 3 at the moment, for our film install, I'd be happy to offer a group buy. We never discount this service, but the response is good from this board and it would make for good write ups for us. PM me, or post here, if you're interested and we'll get a formal GB thread going.

Now a days I'm lucky i get away with a 40cm Birkin... because she's got her sights set on a crocodile Birkin!

Don't get me wrong I'm the luckiest guy in the world, but damn... keep her away from friends who's "husband just bought her a Crocodile Birkin, she's soooo lucky!"....
Mind you I'm saying that to a guy who just gave his Dad a 991!

We're all very lucky!
Just in case you can't find one, try this link

It's only $20,000

Just got word. My car should arrive in Vancouver on a train along with 5-6000 other cars on Saturday.

Dealer expects to get it about Wednesday and hopefully I might get a week Friday. Hope Hope Hope.

John in Vancouver
