Hey all,

I just wanted to say hi and give a big thank you to all the active members on the board. I've been lurking for a long time, studying and refining what I wanted out of the car (and how to make it work with 2 little ones at home). I picked it up on Wednesday from Porsche of Fremont (really great group of people there), been enjoying the heck out of it as my DD in the gorgeous February NorCal sun. Oh, and this is my first non-Toyota vehicle, so it's a bit of an upgrade ;-)

Handing it off to Premier next week for full clearbra and 9500ci install, then getting PSE installed at the dealer.

Pic attached, yes I need to clean the garage out a teeny bit more. =)
Again, thank you for being an awesome community, you guys are the best!

Nice to meet you Matt, right on great stuff, love your Carrera. Welcome to non-lurker and Porsche 911 driver status! I'm Chris - see you around the halls.

 

Congratulations Matt!

1st time I've seen the body color headlight washer in a photo.

Thanks...

 

Matt, CONGRATS and Welcome. Beautiful Car! Did you decide to do PSE after your order locked?

 

Thanks guys! This is actually an off-the-lot car, I used up all my patience making sure my financial health was in order first (house, retirement, 529s, etc). When I was finally ready, I just wanted to do it. Fortunately for me, there's a bunch of dealers in the Bay area, so there was a lot of inventory to sift through. This one was close enough to what I wanted, and happily enough PSE can be added fairly easily.

@HotHond, funny enough the painted headlight washers is something I probably wouldn't have sprung for if I was doing a custom build, but I like them a lot.

 

Looks great Matt there's a few of you in the Bay Area

 

Nice car mate! I have to say the classic wheels work with your color scheme...

 

Welcome & Congrats Matt....looks great !

Please post pics and any info you want to share of your 9500 install if you can.

 

Welcome to 6speed and congrats!!!
You sure picked out a beauty.
Enjoy!

 

Sure, would be happy to post the 9500 pics after install. I have a ~2 week business trip starting late in the week, so I won't be able to give it a proper review, but photos shouldn't be a problem.

 

Great looking car, now you need to do Clear side markers as well.

 

Welcome to the fold! It's always good to see another in the club.

 

Have you considered other exhaust options or are you set on the PSE.

 

Hey Matt,

It was good to meet you while you were at the dealership. You picked her up just in time for the awesome weather we are having here in the Bay. Let us know if you have any questions but I'm sure they can all be answered here Congrats again!

Raj

 

Thanks Raj, it was good to meet you at the dealership too! Very impressed with your entire crew!

@calguy, I was considering Tubi, but to be honest the ability to turn the exhaust mod off with a button is appealing to me right now. While this isn't their normal ride, my kids are pretty young and I was afraid the noise would be scary to them... plus I was worried about it getting annoying to me while sitting in gridlock with the top down. When my kids are a little older, I'll bring them with me to coffee and cars to see if they approve of any of the more aggressive mods. =)
