Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Still getting an understanding on where to invest on maintenance, both mechanically and appearance.
Purchased car used from dealer, so have no documents from previous owner('s).
Did the VIN decoding which gave me Factory installed options but trying to find what dealer installed options might have been installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Unless you find the selling dealer, they still have those records, and you can convince them to search through them for you, your guess is as good as anyone else's.
Basically anything not on the factory list was either a dealer install option or was done after delivery. Not sure there is anyway to figure out which was which.
you can see what the car has and then ask for the origional option list, then you know what is extra. youll never know who put something on the car, or why. But why are you asking? have you found something extra?
Recruited my brother, since he works in the automotive industry. Looks like car was originally purchased in Pompano Beach, FL.
Yes, have some "options" that are not part of the build sheet. One item in particular is rear wing. Worried that it's a knock off like

Not worried about value, love the car. Just would like to know if authentic or not. Trying to keep car as authentic / original as possible. Is that not the proper way to maintain these cars?
Yes and no.
There are tons of 3rd party items for our cars. Some better than factory, some not
Unless you have a collector car, having only factory addons is not so important
If keeping it original is important, then you would need to remove anything that was not factory installed
"Original" to me included dealer installed options.
@JayG your statement makes sense. Still getting an understanding on where to invest on maintenance, both mechanically and appearance.
it really doesnt matter and doesnt effect the value at this point. These cars have virtually no value at all being over 10 yrs old. Its just what a buyer is willing to pay.

Still have the option sticker under your frunk? IMHO, those are the ORIGINAL options that your car was built with at the factory and all others are mods/add-ons.
Case in point, the full aero kit on my car is dealer-installed and you will not see
XAA
in my options sticker.
I also tried to validate the option codes on my frunk sticker. I called porsche, emailed them my ownership.. then someone called me back and read the options to me. I wanted to know if I could get a build sheet but they would only do the certificate of authenticity for $120. That certificate will tell you everything that came with the car apparently.
I'm supposed to have 18" wheels but somewhere along the line a PO swapped them out for 17's.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
