At this point, given all the market / supply chain hijinx, nothing would surprise me (wrt rumor SRS won’t come to NA). We’ve already been told it will be in far shorter supply than the short supply we already knew about. For almost all of us, that’s the same thing as it not coming here at all…except I guess when we see the one the dealer principle leaves on display in his dealership.

The hardest thing sometimes is being happy with what you have. I just took a friend of mine for a drive in my spyder, 10 degrees, top down, Kline exhaust ON, he said "it blew his f***ing mind".

I know you still want one though... I get it.

The idea of an SRS is one that’s impossible to ignore. But I am head over heels with my spyder, my topless brother. Absolutely head over.

Great life advice right here. Wish I’d learned this earlier (and some days I forget it again.)

it’s probably the only one that will need a wash. Seems like these will go in collectors displays. 😂

Last time they did, the duct-tape let go and all of the aero fell off... it revealed that it was just a regular Spyder underneath!

Roughly just shy of 6 weeks... 40ish days left (Wk21) ...then our long journey finally ends! Of which the speculation will just transition to "718R"!

I don’t see why it wouldn’t.

It looks like the same bumper. I put a GT4 RS splitter and side air curtains on my GT4…even used double sided tape instead of drilling the bumper to make it 100% reversible. Everything was bolt on and fit perfectly.
