That is interesting, I did not know there was a choice of width on the PPF ... I don't know I what have but truthfully I cannot tell my car even has PPF. Also being I have a targa roof there is no seam on the roof to notice.

Do you have a Sunroof because it looks like there is a panel in front of it and I would be surprised you could notice the PPF.

Do you really need to keep it below 4,000 RPM'S ? While I do follow some break in guidelines there is no way I am adhering to a 2,000 mile break in if I end up with the 992.

I learned my lesson first on the R8, it had perfect paint when I bought it with only one tiny chip on a rear fender, one day I'm on the expressway and a truck was spilling sand and tiny rocks all over the place, I ended up with at least 50 rock chips (probably more) on the front bumper and hood ... it was a mess.

The 911 went through something similar but the result was not nearly as bad though I wasn't happy it still had some chips.
