Thanks very much for the info!
My Spyder is a November build so once it arrives I think I will give that a try - worst case if it looks bad I just put it back or get an aftermarket boot without it.
Appreciate the insight sir!

My theory is Porsche's supplier didn't want to reprogram the printing machine with new spacing settings, and/or the word "Spyder" is too wide for some production reason.
I wonder what they will do on the spyder RS
• never mind.. just realized its only PDK

Wow..... You live in Tokyo. I used to live in Nagoya and Tokyo. 1) Don't see a lot of Porsches, and 2) I can't imagine how few Spyders are around.

Anyway, lots of hills and great roads outside of Tokyo, and I am sure that you will love your new ride! I am here in San Diego, and my Spyder will spend a lot of time in the hills outside of town when I get it in December.
