Thanks again for all the "Congrats" Messages. I really appreciate everyones enthusiasm. It makes this experience all the more fun.
I washed it today and installed my clear side markers. Attached are a few new pictures to answer some of the questions and requests posted earlier:
- I absolutely LOVE the Brushed Aluminum. It looks and feels GREAT. I know some of the pieces can be purchased and installed. I would check Suncoast or your dealer. The reason I say "Dealer" is becuase Suncoast wants $168.00 + $60.00 Shipping for a Cargo Liner. My dealer ordered me one for $187.00. Parts can be negotiated too.
- The interior is Full Black Leather. I think my flash and poor photography skills are making it look grey.
- The car does have PASM, indicated by the more pronounced black front spoiler and the 10mm lower ride height (Even with a Manual Transmission). The rear spoiler also deploys further than cars without PASM. One thing MT Cars do not have is Launch Control.
More pics to come after I polish, seal, and wax. . . probably this weekend. I'll try to get some good photos outside in the sun.

Love it! I should've ordered SPASM

GT Silver Close Up
Sorry for the teaser photo, but so many have asked to post GT Silver photos so I thought I'd post these close up shots in the sun. I'm still in the process of detailing. . . . . I've polished and sealed the paint. I just need to wax it now (all surfaces that won't be covered in Xpel Film next week). Hopefully, I will complete it tomorrow and be able to take some nice complete car shots in the sun. Until then:

A Few More Pics
All Detailed and had Xpel Film put on Hood, Fenders, Front Bumper, Mirrors, Rocker Panels, A-Pillars, Front section of Roof (section in front of sun roof), and Headlights/Foglights. Turned out very nice!!

Glorious!
The more I see pics like yours of the 991 the more I like and appreciate the minimalism of the 911 design in its current form. Without GT spoilers and overly extended body parts it just looks so balanced and beautiful in a back to basics kind of way. Love it.
Thanks for posting.

GT Silver is a special color (more expensive) & unlike Platinum Silver which is just a normal metallic color. Wonder how does it look like if you compare the color side by side on a identical car? GT Silver is the German racing color just like British Racing Green for the Brits. IMHO, this is one of the best looking color besides White & Metallic Dark Blue on the 991.
