The smart top module which allows one touch convertible an wind deflector operation + remote top operation with the key (fully reversible, no wire cutting install):

The T-design memory module for remembering center console button settings (ie: it keeps A/S/S off and sport on at every start up):

OEM wireless Android Auto coding to PCM. The coding was written in from the factory, but disabled when Porsche didn't make a deal with Google to allow it. I also have a Motorola MA1 plugged into the USB port so Android Auto works wirelessly. Also works with Apple Carplay

Installed a Function First weighted shift knob in black delrin with silver numbers( Its shorter and weighted much nicer than the OEM knob, which I still have if you want to go back):

I hardwired for a radar detector with a "MirrorTap" pin type connector (no cut wires) into the overhead light connector - easy to remove if you don't want a radar detector.

Good luck with sale!

What are your plans?

I'm on the waiting list for a 992S (manual / cab) and have been told I should get an allocation within the year. I figured it would make sense to list this now while the market is still strong and bank the funds towards the 992 if/when my name comes up.

Looks great. Wishing you luck!

Amazing ad Josh ... you really went all out and if I were a stranger in the market and I saw your ad I would be like this is the guy to buy a car from !!!

Really great !!

[Josh (PA)]

Thanks. Still not 100% on selling it, but I figured I should put my best foot forward.

[Josh (PA)]

so after some soul searching and long discussions w/ my wife (brainf--ing as she calls it) I am officially taking it off the market and keeping it. I really like it, and can't justify the $100k upcharge for basically a color change. Hopefully I can stick by the decision and stop driving my wife crazy with the perservations. She is adamant that she doesn't care what I do, she just doesn't want to hear any more about it.

Congrats!

Your 911 is a really awesome car and you really have not had it too long. If the color bothers you that much have it wrapped which will cost a fraction of changing it to a 992 ...

[JST]

Have to say I think this is the right call!

[wdc330i]

Agreed. Great decision. Love the one you’re with. ;)

[lip277]

Or at least save it long enough for me to get it after my 997 dies. :)

On a related note - I wish Ted's E39 M5 worked out for me. This fall is probably the time I will do something to replace the E38...

But back to the 911. As my car has 148k on it, I am now starting to think about how long I keep it and what I will do for a replacement. But... I think I have some time... The car runs great and does everything I ask of it.

I think the car you have is a keeper... But I am not biased at all. LOL

Reminds me of how a friend of mine managed to convince his wife that he needed to get a 911 in the first place. She got so sick of hearing about it that she was like "just buy the damn car because I dont want to hear about it anymore!"

This was about 5 years ago. He ended up buying a manual CPO 991.1 for I think around 60k (imagine that now!), and keeping it for a few years. He never really bonded with it, and ended up going back to a Miata. Now, he's over cars entirely and just into biking. Kinda crazy since this guy was more obsessed with cars than any of us!
