Hey fells, so I went yesterday afternoon and had a good look. There are swirlies and webbing unfortunately. I believe when it was washed and prepped for delivery to us is when this may have happened. None the less, I have no choice but to get it taken care of. I’m so disappointed because now it adds more time to the car. And it’s been raining every other day here in SoCal…I mean we are in Sunny Cali, where’s our sun..!?!?!! Trying to stay positive here fellas.

Oh well, they should take care of it at no charge. Seems like they are responsible for it. Cold and very windy here in Pa. 40 degrees and 30 MPH winds…just lit 🔥 a fire.

I predict it will all turn out fine. Your comment on dismal weather made me think of Annie

The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow
Bet Your Bottom Dollar That Tomorrow There'll Be Sun
Just Thinking About Tomorrow
Clears Away The Cobwebs And The Sorrow 'Til There's None
When I'm Stuck With A Day That's Gray And Lonely
I Stick Out My Chin And Grin And Say
The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow
So You Gotta Hang On 'Til Tomorrow, Come What May
Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I Love You, Tomorrow
You're Always A Day Away

Stay safe!

Just the ability to name all of those songs from Annie SCARES me! I’m a middle aged guy just trying to keep rock alive! 🎸🎸🎸🤣

Sharing the pics and videos with Porsche Ontario today. Lets see what they say. Let ya’ll know!

59 here in LA with the rain. And since we’re not used to an inclement weather here in SoCal, currently on “Flood Watch” ha!

Beautiful 992 @SwayFam! I may have missed it, but what was the time-frame from when you ordered your 992 to receiving it? I ordered mine earlier this year and I expect it will be awhile before I get mine.

Congrats!
Congrats man! Took almost a year but well worth it. What color did you go with? Share your build with us!

Congrats on the beautiful new arrival! I can relate to the suspense as I drove my Macan GTS about 50 feet from the lot to the flatbed bound for PPF, ceramic, etc. and then waited over a week to finally drive it. Enjoy the amazing experience!

What do most people get covered on their cars for PPF? My 718 has front bumper, hood, fenders, rockers, door handles, mirrors and rear bumper/behind the wheel well and back and that seemed like a lot. Is that fairly standard for 992 as well or do people go full PPF? Less?

I never did PPF until this 992 . In fact I did not get it on my 23 Macan . Much depends on where you live and drive (potholes, rocks , a lot of daytime highway ). I did the standard things which you stated above . I did not to the lights . There is mixed opinion on damage from doing the lights (its a debate topic for some). I have yet to have a stone hit my car in 10K miles . Now watch a boulder hit my car today .. just kidding .

I picked up. My GT3 T several weeks ago and had full front and rear PPF Kravaca ceramic pro and then had the rest of the car with the new ION ceramic coating with lifetime warranty. Ive had xpel and other films but the new kravaca is in my opinion superior. At the end of the day you can’t go wrong with any of them. The kravaca just had been updated with the newest technology. These cars taken care of properly are real investments.

I’m no expert on the products but just use something to protect it for sure!

Larry, didn’t do headlights either but the installer doesn’t use it there anyway so I didn’t need to make that decision.
