Those stickers look awful and seriously on those option prices. If they want to charge over a mil for the car just put it in the base price $60k paint seriously and those floor mats, come on. It is not like they have special engineering or something.

Everything you see on the car that looks like stickers was actual painted by Porsche. The owner - who built his car for HIS TASTES - wanted to mimic this car.

They aren't stickers, each one is painted.

Actually now most of them are from AL or the surrounding Southeastern states but who cares where they come from. It's a self sustaining region by now. The Germans are all old and/or dead.

Are you a bigot when it comes to which region of the country one comes from? Of course, you are. Regional bigotry is the last nationally sanctioned, ok thing to be bigoted about.

I hope the car actually sees a race track.

But odds are, it'll sit inside a showroom for years to come with less than 5,000 miles on the odometer.

It's not for sale so don't worry about it. The car was shown to the local PCA club prior to the owner taking delivery.
