@993TurboS Great idea looking at the Spyder, Android Auto can be programmed in as it is not available from the factory (fellow Android guy), this will give you NAV if you don't opt for it, I did and think it is a great addition. FWIW I also added an external Android box for the full Android experience, The SAT antenna stays unless you spend your own money to remove, it disappears after awhile anyway. I like the buttons and heated wheel option, I don't buy into this clean look sentiment, when I am driving I look out ahead of the car not at the steering wheel! I love the third brake light on this model, the glow of the red LED looks cool on the painted surface at night.
This is my 6th mid-engine Porsche, I have had them all 986, 987, 981 and now the 718 (982) and of course this last one being the Spyder and I love it!
PS. All Cabriolets as well...

now you just have to find a way to get rid of those rear bumper warts and the headlight washer nozzles and you will have successfully arrived at what the car should look like when it leaves the factory.

I see you have apex wheels. Are you tracking the spyder extensively?

nice. The ROW models don't have the wart but unfortnately we share the 3rd brake light. I don't know how much the rear deck costs though.

I also see the black plastic bits that say Spyder seem to be gone or covered. What’s going on in that region, anything?

Slightly off topic but I watched this video last week about that shop and owner. They talk through a few really cool/insane cars. I am not related to this shop or youtube channel in any way. I just found it pretty interesting/entertaining and thought others here may also enjoy.

So how does the 3rd brake light piece get removed? I can live with the wart but not the 3rd brake light.

Mounting holes would be left, along with possible paint damage, so plugging might not work.
Plugs (seen somewhere in other posts) for the GT4 wing removal in my opinion, would look worse.
If you really hate them, bite the bullet and have them welded closed, smoothed, primed and blended with paint by a competent paint shop.
I will have this done at some point since I really hate the wart... I may even do it myself (I painted my Marina Blue ‘67 seen in the wide angle mirrors thread).

Mounting nuts accessible from the underside after removing rubber plug covers.
