I had planned to purchase the full size frunk liner sold through Suncoast, but decided otherwise because I didn't want to lose some of the space that liner takes up. Instead, I went with the WeatherTech cargo/trunk liner. I'm happy with my decision. Just an alternative to consider.2. Trunk/Frunk Liners
I didn't think about the sidewall thickness of the front trunk liner but it can't be that thick that would result in a large loss of space, is it? I also have WeatherTech in my miata today and they are good quality.I had planned to purchase the full size frunk liner sold through Suncoast, but decided otherwise because I didn't want to lose some of the space that liner takes up.

Good question, I've never owned a car cover before and am not familiar with how heavy the cover isIf it’s indoors, why do you need a car cover? I would be more worried about scratches putting the cover on and off than dust.
so to compare with a boxster, you did almost everything except for the 2 doors and rear trunk like area? Why not the 2 doors?I did what's referred to as "Track Pack"
-full front
-mirror housings
-rocker / vent quarter panel
-rear wheel fender lip / lower bumper
What is was the average quote for ppf/cerami if you don't mind sharing?Here’s the list of all the things I collected during my 12 month wait for my GTS:
Lid liners
Trunk and frunk liners
Ultimate Cupholders
Zunsport grills
Porsche indoor cover
Porsche rubber floor mats
Clear wind deflector
1 quart of C40 mobile 1 oil which was somewhat hard to find
I did a garmin mini 2 dash cam. I used the Dongar technologies wiring harness. It’s $30 or so and installed in about 15 minutes. You might be forced to the Porsche dashcam with the pre wire though.
I also got several quotes for ppf and ceramic while I waited too.
I was able to pick up some of this stuff on sale or new/unused from other people on this forum and rennlist while I researched what I needed.
I have the full size frink liner and you do lose some cargo space with it. With the liner in place I can't put my carry-on bag in the frunk because it's about 1" too narrow. Without the liner in place the carry-on bag fits. Here is a write-up I did when I first got my Box and I put the liners in place:I didn't think about the sidewall thickness of the front trunk liner but it can't be that thick that would result in a large loss of space, is it?

My BGTS won't arrive until late July but want to plan ahead on getting accessories and wanted to get some advice here on what to get and where to get them.
1. Indoor car cover (I won't drive much in fall/winter) - If you're not going to drive it that's fine. Make sure you wash the car first then cover it with a good quality indoor cover. The Porsche one is very good quality.
2. Trunk/Frunk Liners - I have them but the front one does take up some space but you can remove it to put suitcases in. If you're worried about spills Weathertech has a lower profile one but I don't know anything about it.
3. Dash Cam - which make/model? I bought the option "Pre-wiring for Porsche Dashcam (front)" - will this fit other non-Porsche cam? - I wouldn't get the Porsche dash cam. Too bulky and the pre-wire doesn't work for other cameras.
4. Paint protection film -- would you do whole car or full front only? - I got a Track Pack PPF coverage and ceramic over that.
5. anything else?
I also got the clear front side lights for my GT Silver car. It just looks better than the amber color lenses standing out. I bought the FitCamX. It mounts on the rearview mirror housing a looks like a factory accessory. Like many others I got the front/rear trunk lid liners. (These may or may not be for your model, example only) These will protect the bottom of the front/rear trunk lids from dents protruding through to the top of the front/rear trunk lids in case you stack stuff too high in the car. I also got a dongle to make the CarPlay wireless. Any of the wireless CarPlay dongles can be finicky so if you don't like that just use the cable attachment. I got a set of low profile 12V USB chargers for the passenger footwell for traveling so my wife can charge her phone if needed.
Quote 1:What is was the average quote for ppf/cerami if you don't mind sharing?
I just had two quotes of a full car PPF for my incoming GTS. Stek was $6k and $1000 to ceramic over the PPF. I had another installer told me $5,500 for Kavaca and another $500 to ceramic coat over the PPF. I also plan on doing a ceramic coating over the entire interior leather and that was $400so to compare with a boxster, you did almost everything except for the 2 doors and rear trunk like area? Why not the 2 doors?
Also would anyone mind sharing what it costs you to put on XPEL Ultimate film?
like the thought re the exhaust collar mods - but cannot seem to google anything re Mcmaster Car ?
- Sunshade (suncoast parts)
- Zunsport of similar grill covers
- Exhaust collar mod parts from Mcmaster Car (although just removed mine and love the induction sound being the dominant one)
- Wireless Carplay adapter if you're an Apple user/carplay fan. Slight lag but you get used to it
- Porsche convertible soft top protectant spray - easy to reapply after a wash or every 3-6 months.
- Chemical guys convertible roof cleaner spray and brush. Yet to use the soft brush, but can vouch for the cleaner after a spot clean
- One more - lint rollers!
The below rennlist thread is the best starting place, but is 30+ pages deep now. It is worth the backstory reading at pace, and once you get 150+ posts in you start to learn more about the specific parts and positioning on car. I'll refer you to post 176 of the thread where 981KMAN lists the recommended products - the ones I opted for are 316 stainless steel (second link below).like the thought re the exhaust collar mods - but cannot seem to google anything re Mcmaster Car ?
link or more info please Phil.
