Default Goodies you brought for the GT4?

Not sure if this is an interest, but I will start:

1. F-Trunk and Trunk liner - Porsche
2. Floor liner - Weather-Tech
3. Dash-cam - Think-ware Q800 Pro
4. LED Clear Marker - Porsche
5. Gloves (OCD with Alcantara Wheels)
6. Silicone License Plate holder and cover (prevents scratches to the paint when mounting the rear plate)
7. Tow hook license mount - USMILLWORKS
8. Adam's Polishes (pretty much all of it)
9. Ed's bolster protector & fire extinguisher cover
10. Custom Plates


Here's the Adam's Polishes. Not a fan of the wheel cleaner. Other's seems fine.

Wheel cleaner stains the tires.

I've made it known that for Fathers Day i'd love to get the clear front side markers from Suncoast. Even though my car is still almost 3 months away.

It'll get clear marker lights and OptiCoat Pro Plus coating. Then lots of miles.

EDIT: Actually, I lied. It'll get the wind diffusers for the mirror triangles. Those are a must have on a tin top Porsche IMO.

Very nice list. You can hide it in my garage for the time being.

Not sure you need the wheel guide bolts. My Macan came with one; I assume the GT4 might as well? I brought the bolts before, but they were too short (make sure you get the longer ones; otherwise it's pointless):

For the parts you're looking at from Suncoast, I would suggest you ask your local dealer parts department first (especially if you're in Canada). Shipping and duties are quite high along with the FX rate. The floor mats with yellow stitching you can order for much cheaper (~CA$130), I believe it's an accessory for the 991 T. Same with the clear side markers.

Thx for the thread its gt4 and personal lists y'all it helps with my day dreaming problem. kart125 what can I say you are the details guy which makes a spec special. I hear ya on the "but sweetly I have to get this it ties in with the other parts I bought already" Just remember to walk softly in the garage and get part deliveries to your neighbors because good management is always watching.

Very good suggestion Illusive991 as an example I paid $183.80 plus tax for my clear markers at the dealer yesterday. They are US$120 plus $50 shipping not including duty for us up north that's CAD$230.52. Also builds a good relationship with your dealer.

Even got a pair of shoes to match the interior (I know I know, it's lame). Please don't judge me.

This. They'll usually give you a bit of a discount on parts from time to time as well!

As for what parts I have here/on order for my GT4 when it arrives (hopefully in 3 weeks!):

OEM Clear Side Markers
Velour Floor Mats w/ Racing Yellow Stitching
718 GT4 Car Cover
EdGuard LWBS Bolster Covers
EdGuard Fire Extinguisher Cover
DB Carbon Carbon Fiber & Alcantara Shift **** with Racing Yellow Stitching and Shift Pattern

With a full wrap, my detailing regime is a lot smaller than if it was only partially wrapped; I use Optimum No-Rinse after taking my cars to the local wand wash to get thee larger debris off. P21S gel wheel cleaner is amazing stuff, have never had any issues with it marking up the tire. I just transitioned to the full line of Obssssd products when they had a sale a month ago. So far really liking the results!

Will likely wait until next season before I go about modifying the exhaust, probably replacing the GPFs with new over-pipes from one of the many available options and go from there.

Is this needed? I thought the 991/992 Schroth belts came with LWB specific connectors??

That's why you need to "bundle" !!

Some of the small stuff has started to trickle in...the "big stuff" hasn't started arriving yet.

Pro tip: Have the stuff delivered to your office. Not my first rodeo...

Agreed bundles solve some but with an inside on duties and US exchange I find its a near wash mostly hence support the local. Suncoast has served me well but hoping it helps them hire back my SA Got to keep the peeps in my neighborhood working by doing my little bit!

Don't be afraid to ask for a discount on parts as well too; sometimes the dealer will give you 10% or more off if you're a PCA member (or another local group). The price I was quoted for the clear side markers are quite a bit lower than what you'd mentioned above.

Got the side marker for $160 + taxes (Canadian). They were $200 + taxes. 20% promo (happens most of the time - Toronto Dealership).
