Not at all actually. Known about it since before day 1 of ordering and making the decision to go WP. Actually seeing a WP in person made the decision easy to spend an extra 12K or whatever it was because I really liked how fantastic the exterior carbon fiber looked on the vehicle.

As someone who may be (hopefully) deciding on spec in the not too distant future…is there anyone who ordered WP that regrets it? Money well spent? Especially as I may opt for fully painted hood (SRS).

How about those who didn’t that wish they did?

The prospect of ADM is making me hedge on ordering a high spec car. Not really a matter of affording it, but whether the car is “worth” that much.

Same question for mags. The feeling that I should build “the lightest possible” car is not insignificant.

I think the WP is worth it. The intake cover and scoops look nicer in cf, and the racetex dash is totally unique to the GT4 RS and Spyder RS.

At least for the ‘22-‘23 you couldn’t get mag wheels without WP. The mag wheels can be bought separately for not much more than the option price, and then you’d have two sets.

I preferred WP on the GT4rs. Engine cover, air intakes, and wing are outstanding. I think the non WP air intakes look weird in black plastic because the plastic doesn't match the window trim. Different shade/finish of black. The hood, a bit much but looks better in person. As soon as saw one in person, WP only way I could go. However Spyder RS I would go non WP. Air intakes much less impactful, no engine cover. My take.

For the SRS, with a painted hood, what would be left? Intakes in cf, racetex dash, gurney lip, badges. I think that’s it. I assume you’ll be able to order the intakes in cf from suncoast, before too long.

The badging is a Don’t Care. I guess the only thing left of any real (visual) impact is the racetex dash. And access to the mags, of course. Although it sounds like they’ll be avail for near new-car-spec price? That is indeed convenient, and muddies the water. The 4RS and SRS share the same mags, yes?

You don't like the CF hood with body colored stripe? Man I love that combo.

Anyway, still a lot of lovely CF bits like roll hoops and brake light housing. Personally I like the full R-T interior also.

No bad choices.

Here is what's included:

Exterior:
Exposed carbon fiber front trunk lid
Exposed carbon fiber side air intakes and combustion air intakes behind the driver and passenger
Exposed carbon fiber exterior mirrors
Addition of exposed carbon fiber Gurney flap on rear spoiler
Exposed carbon fiber 3rd brake light housing
Exposed carbon fiber supplemental safety bar covers
Spyder RS top with embossed "Weissach Package" logo
Titanium tailpipes in 935 look

Interior:
Upper section of the dashboard in Race-Tex
Dashboard trim with "Weissach Package" logo
Headrests embroidered with "Weissach Package" logo

WP was totally worth it. I wrapped it in a stealth clear bra so it has a matte look like the interior carbon fiber which I think looks a little better than gloss carbon fiber.

Oh yeah, the side intake covers…in cf, the leading edge of those don’t get chipped up, requiring replacement? PPF enough to protect them?

Thanks for the full list, Shaggy,. I thought I had it committed to memory better than I did, obviously. Plenty more bits than I was thinking.

WRT hood, some colors pull off the stripe much better than others. I like the stripe on vanadium and gentian, and maybe guards. I don’t like full cf hood at all (entirely just my opinion; not throwing rocks at anyone, I promise). But the stripe also seems to be delaying cars, so there is that. (Small factor, true)

I just know I’m going to feel somewhat silly clicking WP followed by fully painted hood. lol

Yep, glossy, same on the GT3RS too, I was starting to think about how this would be my first mod!

For me the SRS has to have this Weissach Package, love the look inside and out!
