Today is one of the best days of my life. I finally got my Porsche. After 18 months of shopping and deciding on a configuration and 4 more months to build and deliver I became a Porsche owner! I drove it 250 miles today and could not be happier.

Looks awesome! I remember the feeling after having to wait so many months. Glad you are getting out and getting some miles on it.
Some suggestions:
1. Clear wrap (I did Xpel). Cover the front of the car, of course, also cover the area around the midship intakes, rocker panels, and around the rear wheels (that area takes more abuse than you might imagine).
2. Get some Zunsport grills to cover the front intakes. You would be amazed at how much crap gets in there. I pulled a dead bird out of mine before I fitted the grills.
3. If you don’t like the mesh insert between the roll bars, you can pick up a clear one from pedrosgarage.com
Enjoy the permagrin!

So far I really like them. From what I read they are the clear winner of the 3 possible tires that Porsche ships.

There is a thread on another forum where people talk about stock tires. Apparently it depends on the size wheel you order. For 20" wheels there are three options:
Michelin Pilot Super Sport
Pirelli P-Zero
GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 2
The general consensus is that the Michelin are the best as they are not super noisy, have good handling, and are relatively durable. I may be completely wrong here as I haven't done extensive research as tires are not something you have a say in. I'll definitely do more research when it's time to replace a tire or four.
