Apparently they cannot modify safety critical items beyond what is already sanctioned & in prod. Makes no sense to me, but many of their CXX/options choices don't, either.

I.e. Shark Blue door pull straps available on 4RS as a $250 option, but not even available through CXX for Spyder? Lol. Same platform and all...

 

Reinforcing what @6IXSPD has provided. Yes, very frustrating that a simple 'move across' was not available on several 718 items when I built my PTS car. A few items 'could' be brought over at STUPID price premiums. Two CXX examples I investigated when building my Spyder in 2022:

• Rear side air intakes as painted was a $5,000 quote.
• Doing the red roof only (WITHOUT the rest of the Spyder Classic Interior)...$21,000 quote.

A 'hard pass' on both.

Who knows what the 2024 MY will hold? But I'll dream that Porsche will want to 'empty' the parts bin and that they will fully open both PTS & CXX options at some 'slightly' reasonable pricing. (Now time to go back to my wine induced dreaming.)

 

I so wanted that red roof on Chalk but without the SCI but I'm with you. Not for $21K.

 

If you reeeeeeally wanted to, I supposed you could buy the OEM roof fabric piece and have a convertible shop remake it in a different fabric, or dye the existing one. Wouldn’t be cheap but probably half the cost of CXX…

Suncoast sells the OEM 987 Spyder roof for around $2500 as a comparison. No idea what the 718 one costs.

 

We're seeing the pricing that says "we could do it, but we really don't want to."

Porsche quoted me for a brown spydertop
ccx incl brown leather 51.000 euro
thats aprox 56.000 us

 

Excuse me?!?! Does it come with the whole cow so I can at least stuff my fridge and freezer with a literal ton of meat at that price? That way at least I won't have to worry about eating expenses too much.

 

lol indeed , i told them i rather could buy a second hand 718 with brown interiour and swap that , the brown top can be done by an expert for less ( that option they asked 15k)

 

Delivery day for my PTS Viola Metallic.

 

Absolutely sublime

 

Beautiful Color! That was on my short list when I started down the PTS path. That color rocks in the sunlight. Those pics don't do it justice for sure.

 

outdoor sunny pics of that Viola beauty needed ASAP

 

Any part numbers on those yet? I have homemade one but the texture is off to the belts.

 

Not that I know of, unfortunately :/

 

Is it too different? The material is different between belts and door pulls. You can always reach to Gaphix...they do custom seatbelts and also Porsche door pulls.
