GT3 has arrived!!

Hello,
Well, the GT3 arrived last week. I WILL post pics. SY with tons ($27,000) worth of options. PCCBs, small carbon interior, leather door panels with SY stiching, yellow belts...you get the idea. The car has 1500 miles.
The sound is amazing...simply amazing. Like a Ferrari with Tubi Exhaust. The PCCBs are like nothing else. Worth the extra $8000? Heck yes. Everything about this car is beyond any other car that I have ever driven.
My past cars..to name only a few....z06, 996c4, 951, late 80s 911s, Ferrari 348 Spyder, BMW M Coupe, BMW M3. Have significant seat time in a 996 TT, Ferrari 355 etc.
To compare the GT3 against any of the other cars really isnt fair. It was clear after only a few moments of driving it..that the GT3 is something totally different. Compared the the c4..is like apples and oranges. The c4 is a GT compared to the GT3. The M Coupe had some of the rawness of the GT3. The GT3 gets stupid amounts of attention. Keep in mind that I am in Central Ohio...not Southern California. The z06 and the GT3 would be the closest of the past cars. The GT is obviously in a different league but, there are similarities. The Z06 is an amazing car for the money...fast, brakes great, goes around a corner well.
Questions;
Anyone know where to get the clear bra stuff installed anywhere near central Ohio?
Should I have the GT corner balanced and aligned?
We are re-joinging the PCA this week and will be doing any local-ish DE events.

Congratulations on the GT3. Sounds like an amazing machine and I'm looking forward to the pictures.

Good idea to check the alignment becuase the some dealers don't check the aligment before delivery and there were a few who were way off specs.

Is that the car from Auotweek/Michigan? I was looking at that car as well but hopefully will have a white gt3 in my garage by Wed. FYI Mid-Ohio PCA is doing a DE at Mid-Ohio Thurs/Fri. This event is typically sold out but there are always a few no-shows. I imagine if you show up on Thursday morning around 7 and hang out you might well get in. I'll be up there and would love to check out the new ride! Congrats and.... PICS???

Congrats, you will love it even more the first time you take it to the track and really get a feel for what the car was built to do.
