Westcoast, what did you use for your front plate install? Any noticeable effect on cooling? Also looks like you angled the plate down.
The plate is attached to the metal screen that comes standard on the Spyder and GT4 and although that screen is angled slightly down, the angle looks a little exaggerated, likely because of the camera angle. Installation was more about making the plate dimensions fit the opening with allowances for a small black frame and then simply attaching it to the screen with 4 small black zip ties. On the Spyder now since July of 2020, through 2 summers and with multiple days at the track on some decently hot days 30C+ and I never noted any effect on the temperature. This is the second time that I used this method, on my previous Boxster GTS with a Spyder radiator is never complained either over the 4 years I had that car and it made multiple road trips into Southern California as well as track days.
Congrats on a great looking car, not to shabby for your first Porsche!
Looks like you have LWBS and PCCB as well, love to see some shots of the interior too, enjoy!
Thanks! Very fortunate—I only have ~550 miles on it so far. Cannot wait to finish break in. Still incredible at 4,000 but I know there’s more in there
The LWBS are great, inspired by the AP video where he says something like “If I could only pick one option, it’d be the buckets.” And the PCCB are awesome. I have no point of comparison, but they certainly perform as advertised.
Here are a couple interior shots and two from yesterday’s drive.

I am so happy with the Spyder, the entire package is incredible, the sound the power and looks are a head turner! So happy I opted for PCCB and the LWBS, comfortable seats and awesome stopping power of the PCCB's (I know the irons are good) and their good looks!
took me way too long but i finally went and got my windows tinted this weekend! in the sun it looks a bit darker than what i expected but i think it looks great regardless. went for 30% all around + 70% on the windshield to get UV protection there too
Glad you said that I am wondering if its 2.5K better than flat white? I like the flat white more than metallic white
I don't think you can go wrong either way. I have a 992 on order. That will be white too. I played around with chalk and metallic white, and ended up with white. This will be my 5th white car, and I have a white motorcycle (Husqvarna). But I'm old and boring... My Bronco will be cactus grey if I ever get it, and my Citroen 2CV is burgundy and black.

Lowe's sells them now?? :-) Sure is beautiful though.
Hard to believe there is no snow up there and it's not even cold enough for those puddles to freeze. Wait...there are leaves on the trees. That can't be a recent shot.
