Picking this up Saturday
My first Porsche so psyched to get it. Any recommendations? Looking to do a paint protection it has no chips or scratches now.

In addition to regular fluid changes (oil, brake fluid) and filters (oil, cabin, and engine air filters), I strongly recommend a PDK full fluid change. There are two sections that take different fluids, a "filter" that is very coarse so maybe not critical, then a PDK recalibration with PIWIS. A capable independent can do this, no need for a dealer.
i would however go to the dealer for recalls; check to see what is needed for your VIN (rear subframe bolts, ECU/TCU, maybe a fuel tank vent). All are free.
Enjoy!

Congratulations, that looks like a nice one.
I would get the radiator grille guards (and also for the side air intakes) to keep leaves and stuff out. Radiator Grille Store and Zunsport sell these and they are an easy DIY. On mine I also got the grille for the 'front center' opening even though there is no radiator there; I think it looks better.
A lot of people will recommend changing the side indicators to the 'clear' ones. This is purely for aesthetics; it's also an easy install.

I, for one, would STRONGLY recommend spending the big bucks and do a first class PPF install. I wish I'd done it on my '13 BS as it's now picked up road rash on the bonnet and side scoop edges that would require a repaint to correct. Good luck. Nice car.

Interesting regarding the PPF, I got my used 14' with only 35k miles and the road rash was already at a point of needing a respray. My rationale was for the cost (maybe 10% value of the car) adding PPF over existing road rash didn't make sense to me. If I get to a point where I can afford a new Pcar or very slightly used I might go the PPF route.
The white will hide the road rash, one of the reasons I got silver!
And nice car! enjoy it!
