PPF the whole thing. Also most people just see a random 911. Not that many people could tell you if it’s a $90k car or a $250k car. I drove a TTS for years everywhere and literally no one noticed. But the cayman gt4 with a wing, oh, that folks noticed and how.

If you’re worried about parking lots, it needs to be full PPF

That said as part of the sale they are in process of wrapping the rest of the car 3rd party. Just good piece of mind.

To the OP
if you have the financial capacity to buy a touring, please do.
I put 200 miles of spirited driving on it this weekend since it was one of the first 60+ temp weekends in months.
this morning, I took her out at 7 am. Stopped at Shell and fed her and then went to the country roads where I just let her fly. The thing about the gt3 is it challenges you to be a better driver. She just does not back down to anything I threw at her.
take a banked 45 degree curve at 70? Sure I can do that. But did you feel how the tires spun a bit ? You turned too late. The feedback that the car gives you is incredible. It’s the only car I’ve driven that makes me feel like I’m becoming a better driver the more I drive it.
there arent too many sportscars i would want over the GT3 touring. A pista may be a better car overall but wont hold its value if you put a lot of miles on it
and then there are the reliability issues you get with Ferrari.

I have this theory that if you drive a special car every day everywhere pretty soon it becomes a little less special. Since the GT3T is the best car I own I try to only drive it when I want to consciously have the best driving experience possible, twisty back roads, stereo off, windows down, oil up to operating temperature.... this every single time. Very fortunate to have other cars to drive the super short distance to work on a cold engine to work, drive to the gym etc. To each his own.

I DD mine
park outside
use like a truck
little league
bike rack
costco record was $900 grocery, yes it fits.
manure
charcoal
2x4 and 2x6
I don't park far from exit, unlike most. I park as close to door as I can. I even park in union square parking lot. if you konw that place, u. know I am 3" from the next car. I often climb out the window bc door don't open. yes I don't bother roll up the window either.
its fine.
I have zero dings...
sharkwerk exhaust
sets off every alarm in enclosed lots
