Overdue Intro - '22 992 C4S - Oak Green Metallic

[brianja]

I'm way overdue to introduce myself and my car to the group here.

I picked up the car on December 31, 2021. It is PTS Oak Green Metallic with the two-tone Black/Iceland Green interior.

This is my daily driver here in NYC and gets used year-round unless snow is more than 4" or so.

She's gotten full STEK PPF coverage and Gyeon Syncro Evo ceramic coating.

Like everyone else, I spent way too much time on the configuration and there are a lot of little details in here, but some highlighted options are:

• Manual Transmission

• Sport Design Package (with Side Skirts)

• Sport Package w/ Sport Exhaust

• Premium Package

• Burmester Audio

• 18-way seats

• 930 Leather Package Interior

• Exclusive Design Taillights

• Rear Axle Steering

• Front Axle Lift (a necessity living in NYC)

• Black Painted Brake Calipers

• PTS Painted Rear Deck Grille Slats

Below are some recent exterior photos that I took of her along with some interior shots from during the winter (and a few with my winters wheels and tires installed).

This car was a replacement for my '13 991.1 C4S in White over Espresso interior. It also had the sport design package (with ducktail!) and was a 7MT car.

Beautiful color!

Awesome spec-love the interior and of course the three pedals! How do you plan to keep the leather clean-will you get it coated?

Beautiful color!

Thank you! It is a really dynamic color and, while the color is clearly always green, it changes character dramatically from shade to overcast to sunlight. I love it.

Thank you! I was almost going to go PDK, but in the end I just couldn't do it knowing that this may be one of the last opportunities to buy a new, manual transmission Porsche. I haven't regretted it for a second.

The first thing that I did when I got the car home was coat every inch of leather with Gyeon Leather Shield. It is a very easy to apply product. With regular (b-weekly) wipe-downs using Gyeon Interior Detailer the leather has stayed perfect so far.

A drive mode cover and sports chrono bezel cover, in your exterior or interior color, would look OEM ( if Porsche offered them) and classy but subtle!

For sure! But paint matching for Oak Green is a bit of a pain, I believe.

I actually just requested a white drive mode selector cover to tie-in with the white tach and sport-chrono dials in my car. I think it will be a great, and subtle touch.

I've done a few other mild interior upgrades on my car such as Coco Mat Floor Matts (in wool), DB Carbon shifter trim pieces and a WAY-B Pico carseat for my little co-pilot. I can start new threads on some of these if it would benefit discussion on the board.
