Very nice - did the same on my 991.2 GTS - but also did the small inner ones , but also left the middle one off (tried it and didn’t like it) fwiw I think it would look better if you added the baby ones - obvs none of my business though smile

Might do the small inner ones, started off with the outers for protection but the small inners might improve the look. Do you have a pic?

Only one handy is this (it was when fitting and it had the centre grille too - but I didn’t fit it in the end). Let me know if you need the full view and I’ll take one smile

Looks very nice, i had Jules PPF my T before delivery. I also fitted Zun grilles and as above although ordered didn't bother with the centre one.

Agree. Fabulous and very underrated car but also incredibly spec sensitive. In the right spec I think this will go down as an absolute sweet spot of the 991 era which itself feels pretty golden to me. Enjoy it.
Thanks @gunner! Here’s to 2019 Porsche motoring. My T is a manual with the T interior. Does have 4 seats but that means it provides proper flexibility as a second car. Bose, auto dimming mirrors and that’s it - keeping the lightweight glass and all the standard T kit. No sunroof. Although I really couldn’t see the point of opting out the PCM.

Mines the same. Agree those are the only options you really need on the T.

RWS also well worthwhile!

Agreed. RWS a fantastic option. Astonished so many cars specced without it. Adds some real magic.

Do you think Porsche will bring out a 992 T? As a T owner, I can't see the point of a T in the new shaped wider body as that becomes GTS territory.

What does everyone else think?

If they reckon there's a good market for it l can't see why not.
The 991 was obviously to drum up interest as a run out. It'll probably depend how successful the new base carrera is. It'll be interesting to see if rws etc is available on it.
Having said that they've done an even more dubious Cayman and Boxster T.
I say all this as a very happy 991 T owner!

Nailed on I would say given they’ve brought out 718 T’s. It’s a great way to keep sales momentum and also increase the profitability. Whether it’s Boots selling vitamins on 3 for 2 deals or Porsche bringing out a niche model with a spec you can’t order on any other 911....it’s all about increasing the amount of money your customer is spending !

My T has been away for some fettling courtesy of 9e. Full Kline exhaust in Inconel with manifolds and custom tune has it at 550 PS smile In a narrow bodied, manual, lightweight 4 seater RWD 911with turbo shove. Bye bye GT3s

IMO the T is a way for Porsche to make the base model look more special. So, there is a good likelihood they will continue this strategy with the 992 - wide body or not

Yes, it's a marketing tool.

However, for anyone not conversant with the Porsche model range and nomenclature (and even many who are) - it is all getting desperately confusing. Just look how mind-bendingly complicated the Audi/BMW/Mercedes ranges have become confused

Life used to so much simpler - 911T, 911E, 911S, 911RS - and would sir like a radio or a sunroof?
