The titanium cage in previous cars doesn't have the fittings or connection points to allow the addition of the front half so unless that's changed I would be pretty certain you can't get a titanium front half. It's not a catalogue item so someone might need to contact porsche motorsport to confirm. But you can also see on the configurator the difference between the titanium and standard half cage. Titanium one doesn't have the fitment points where the front half attaches.

the 4RS I drove at the Ring this week had the Ti cage - I did not see any tabs for a front 1/2...

nope but none of the factory 992 GT3 or 718 GT4RS cars had any PCCB which is different from previous years - so I suspect that there are supply chain issues - having said that all the 4RS'es were Weissach Pkg
so no CF issues...

Thanks - My spec is WP and have not been told PCCB issues. I have been made aware my CXX bonnet stripe might not be accepted so was wondering if any others had issues

I would imagine that if there are supply issues for PCCB the factory will reserve the supply for customer cars and not the factory "school" cars...

The bonnet stripe not accepted for current builds or will never be accepted?

FWIW my build specification lock date was last Friday with manufacture scheduled for completion 24 June. A week ago I was told that PCCBs were not available for my build slot and if I wanted them then I'd have to delay for an unspecified time. I went with steels to keep my slot. A bit miffed but not really stressed about it. Went with black calipers and may get ST discs at a later date when the first set of steels are dusted.

Great news about the build lock, bugger about the PCCB's but I would do the same thing, keep the slot and add ST's after delivery.
