Hi all - First, got a lot of helpful information from other members when I was going through my purchase decision so thank you all for the input.

Got my GT Silver on the last day of Feb. and wanted to say hi to the community Wanted a manual Miami Blue with sport chrono and was about to order one, but this one has been sitting in the dealership with everything checked except for the color. With a bit of negotiation on MSRP I made the purchase and the car is currently being wrapped in Sky Blue (between Miami blue and 911's gulf blue), will certainly post pics once it's done.

One minor issue with mine is the moisture in the taillight. Saw it on the day I picked up the car but the dealership said it's normal (as they always do >). Drove home and it stays after a few days so will be dropping off to get the lights replaced free of charge. The car drives great and am breaking in now, will get my first oil change once I hit 1000 miles (another thing that the sales rep at the dealership will tell you no you don't need to but a good service tech. will acknowledge ).

I have been modding cars but since this one is a lease and no track duty planned, will not go crazy on it but may do tune and exhaust if any good ones arrive in the market. Drive on guys!

Welcome! How much do they charge you for the wrap?

Great looking set of wheels, also curious about the cost of the colored (coloured) wrap..........

$3200 for full exterior. It's close to the price of ordering Miami Blue but I am gonna spend extra on clean film if I do that so I would end up spending more money.

Went to a reputable wrap shop locally which provides warranty against bubbling for 3 years. I know dealerships around me usually offer that too at a higher price and they end up with the same shops who do the job or hire someone cheap to do so, and they take a cut.

Nice. My Cayman S delivery same color is next Friday. Looking at yours makes the waiting rough. Mine is a base model will very few bells n whistles ( stick,

Moisture in head and tail-lights will go away when driven. Air needs to circulate in there. They are designed to ventilate. No need to replace.

Nice whip.

@Mrrippry nice I m in Bergen hopefully there will be some sort of meet in NJ and would be nice to line the Caymans up!

@charles it’s worth the wait and I know that feeling cuz mine now is being wrapped till next Friday too! Already very happy with the hp the base delivers and I m sure your S will be at a different level. Congrats in advance!

Great looking car, what dealer in NJ did you get car from ?
I'd wait until you have completed the 2000 mile running in before the oil change

@ optimaxed sent you a pm about the dealership

 

[aeronca65tl]

Welcome. I'm in Morris County, NJ.

The local NNJR-PCA group here is real nice with a variety of activities. I'm planning on hitting some of their tech sessions plus maybe some of the DE events.

NNJR - Porsche Club of America

As others suggested, the standard break-in is 2000 miles. Mine just passed the 2000 mile mark and I'm not planning a change until it gets around twice that amount. Of course, it never hurts to change the oil, but the large dry-sump combined with the synthetic oil gives you much more flexibility.

 

[lanbow]

@aeronca65tl thanks for the advice will look into it

Congratulations. The dealer is allowing you to wrap a leased car?

You resurrected and old thread. A wrap can be removed without issue, just as PPF can be installed and removed. Doubt the leasing company cares as long as they get it back the way they issued it.
