Am I looking at the wrong part? RS strut trim bar is $155 on Suncoast.

Edit: Misunderstood, you meant the combined cost of all the RS trim pieces.

A pair of aspherical mirrors. Received them today. 10 min to pop them in. I am liking it. Driving the spyder with roof up has a huge blind spot on the passenger side, they help mitigate it.

STEK PPF and tint

RS Trim
Clear sidemarkers
Clubsport tow hooks
Alcantara visors w/o airbag sticker
Painted key trim
Frunk liner
Cargo net


Is the frunk hood liner worthwhile? Doesn't seem like anything actually needs protecting, but I guess it gives it a more finished look.

the lid liner is entirely unnecessary as a means for “protecting” the lid. But, as you suggested, it does contribute to a more finished look

I am having their 8mm spacers installed on the front of my Spyder in a week or so, after they arrive...I have 5mms on now and if someone wants them let me know - they will come with brand new bolts since I will be reusing the old ones.

If you put something in the frunk that was too tall it could dent the frunk lid if one did use a liner.

Here is a thread on some of the details of the install.... There are some gotchas. Hopefully this write up will help those that buy the mod. I have found it is VERY nice. OE+ integration is a great bonus.

OAP's and this valve controller is all I need for my Spyder.

Symphony unleashed.

Just got my fake carbon fiber key fob case from AliExpress for $10.xx. The only fake carbon fiber I will add to my Spyder, lol. Install was easy after watching a YT video. I like it, better than paying $100 bucks or whatever for the official Porsche version.

not a close match at all really, but I kinda figured that going into this. For $10 bucks you can go wrong. 1 of the cheapest mods possible, lol
