992 and Taycan Bezel Wait List....

[Tom]

It’s about the same as ordering a Porsche 911

You did get the Oak green set I sent you many months ago, no?

[Tom]

There is a nice list, but don't know when these will arrive.........

I actually took the list down several months ago, as I consider how to deal with these bezels. I need to do a better job managing these, and a better job having them serve the purpose intended, but have been juggling too many things at once. When I told you I wasn't making the tach rings back in October, you declined my offer for the SC and mode dial, thinking they would look incomplete without the tach. I just went back and see that you subsequently asked for all three in unpainted form, so you could have them painted locally. I either missed that or it escaped my mind, but if you'd still like to do that, I'm happy to oblige. I'd only ask you to cover shipping, which is likely to be in the $40 range... PM me if you'd like to do that.

Hi Tom,
Thanks so much for manufacturing the sports chrono bezels and drive mode covers. My friend has both and they look great. I saw that you were going to start charging for them for around $75 each. That seems like a very fair price - if they were OEM we would be looking at hundreds of dollars.

Could I order a yellow SC bezel and drive mode cover. Please charge me $150 plus shipping or whatever price you decided on.
Thanks!

Hey Tom,

when you get a chance, I would love some in Bordeaux red - in particular the mode switch

With Bordeaux red leather edges in the mats, sports chrono dial, and seatbelts it would create a killer combo.

Let me know how I can pay for shipping etc

I am not sending Tom a PM.

He is doing all he can do.

I have been a Porsche guy well before Tom (I am older but better looking).

I have no clue why the demand side suddenly exceeded the supply side on any Porsche. It sure happened in 2022. I think the market corrected to the obvious Porsche superior value.

You can have a 944 or a 911, but the market is finally pricing your car well and near the real intrinsic value. I think it will go higher. I say Scottsdale and Amellia prices will go up.

Hard to pinpoint the exact moment, but I think I became a Porsche guy at the 1982 historics at Laguna Seca. Porsche was the featured car, and the factory brought a race driver to the event to show off the brand new 944. He took people for hot laps around the track, starting every lap by flooring it in reverse, whipping a 180 and shifting into second at the same time to take off going forward. Pretty sure he got that 944 around the track faster than I could do in the 992 Turbo today. I was sold.
