P40SC Charcoal with Satin Grey, I am excited.
As for the lifts. They are Titan 7000lb.
My garage ceiling is 13ft. There is plenty of room between the top car and the ceiling. However, I did make sure the garage door openers are a little on the high side. Along with the hardware. Others have used roll up doors.
It is easy. Sure, they are easy to use. I own an auto repair center so we have lifts here. My lifts at work are much faster and a little stronger. But, a commerical drive on lift is rather expensive and larger than my home lifts. So they work out fine and do what is needed.
It is quite the conversation piece when I have the doors open on the garages. My neighbors think I am nuts.... Well, I may be.

Hi Mike,
Congrats on the new Black Beauty. It's a real looker. You won't be disappointed with your decision; it is just an amazing car. I've had my 2011 TTS 14 months now and I still feel my heart pound with anticipation of every drive. Where are you in Cincinnati (I'm in West Chester) Maybe we can get together sometime for lunch and turbotalk!!

Just got my tint done, and added some clear corners. Can't wait for the new wheels to be made...

I had them painted. A good friend of mine is a body guy. We have been tinting my tail lights before it was cool...lol.
We take black paint and cut it down, spray to desired darkness and clear.
Looks great on a black car. Looks nice on lots of other colors too.

I also took delivery last night on a 2012 TTS. I LOVE IT!! I noticed in your pictures that you did not get center lock RS wheels. Why did you choose to pass on them? Did you get a discount for doing that?

There is a better selection of aftermarket wheels if they are not center lock. Plus to be honest, I didn't order the car.

Ditto! and congrats. Porsche could be the toughest car on the planet...
Did you have a V8 or V10 R8? Impressions?
Also how do you compare the ZR1 to the Z06?
