The wait is over. 991 meets her older sister. A pictorial tale...

The saga started in September. And the wait was agonizing. But it was all worth it. My Polar Silver 993 now has a Rhodium Silver 991 stablemate.

I see it! I see it!


Full steam ahead on the Seven Seas Highway!


Faster! Faster!


Finally! Our first viewing.


I can't leave here with those amber turn signals. Clear me, please.


Preparing for the 100 mile journey home. A "not-so-clear" bra. Don't laugh. Ive done this to every car I've purchased. I'm used to the strange looks!


A rest stop among the Illinois corn fields.


The introduction…993, meet 991.


The Sport Design "ears" were well protected.



Taking off the bra and getting naked.


Can I reuse this? Hate to waste $3.89


Starting to feel like home.





I ticked more boxes than I intended to…but I absolutely love every one.


Tears on this check, trust me. Hot dogs and beans for the next year.

What a great pictorial and story on your new beauty. And your other beauty has someone familiar to keep her company. Very nice!

Thanks for sharing and enjoy the ride(s).

I love it!! Thanks for sharing. CONGRATULATIONS!! You've got the perfect garage. I would have done the exact same thing with the temporary protective tape.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys.

Today I had a full front end clear bra installed. Did some extra protection around the wheel wells and rockers as well. My installer uses Xpel and did an excellent job hiding seams, etc. Very happy.

Now if this snow would just go away I could start racking up some miles.

Gratz and sweet ride! I was on the fence between the classic rim vs sport techno, but after seeing your pics, I'm glad I went with sport techno.

Oh forgot to ask and wondering if you knew, does the sport design side mirrors fold? and is it only a manual option or available for auto-fold?

Yes they rotate at the base and fold up manually. No auto-fold function.
