They just introduced the deviated stitching option, and racing yellow appears on the configurator. What do you mean not available anymore, they have run out of yellow thread? I assume not available temporarily, if true.

I dont know when it is available again but currently it cannot be ordered. More of a quality issue it seems with supplier.

I think the 12 O'clock market was available in Red for the GT4 as an option...if that's the case you can always buy the whole steering wheel from a dealer and keep the one that came on the car.
Also, you can find used ones at good prices on eBay from time to time, just make sure it's full OEM and not an aftermarket modded steering wheel.

Has anyone noticed that on the description of the LED headlights there's a small note at the end that says the GT4RS does not include headlight washers? Can anyone confirm this?

When you get the car, can you bring it over to a vinyl shop so they can take the exact measurements of it?

Latest discussion on a German forum now centers around Vmax of the GT4RS. When compared to the GT4 it appears from youtube videos that the GT4RS is no faster than the GT4. GT4 mets PAG claims but GT4RS is ~10 mph shy when comparing speedo with GPS.

I think everyone believes the geared vmax of the GT4 was overall to its detriment anyway.

GT4 RS will just get there much quicker.

Default PTS/CXX Questions 4RS Weissach

PTS/CXX Questions for those in the know:

-Is Red a CXX caliper option on PCCBs? Or is black the only non yellow caliper color?
-On an open allocation are ALL PTS color in play?
-On a PTS upcharge (12K) is the GT2 hood stripe still a 5K upcharge? And does the stripe continue up over the roof and wing top?
-Cost of door sill customization?
-Are there any CXX color options for mirrors? Lower half?
-Lastly, is there a source to see all PTS colors by swatch in one location?

Thank You in advance!

Where have you seen the $5k pricing for the hood stripe? Cheapest posted on RL is $7k
Its a 718 and not a 992 with different roof structure. Roof is body color on 718.
CXX stripe pricing includes hood and wing

Can the titanium exhaust tips from the Weissach pack be installed onto the non Weissach pack cars? Anyone could give a ballpark cost of the parts?

They will fit any 718 with a 6 cylinder engine

Porsche wont let you play with the colors of the calipers unless you are an ultra-VIP.....Red/Black for Irons ad Yellow/Black for PCCBs
