FAL needed to get on the car lift we are having installed. Driveway and speed bumps in the area it cleared without the FAL but the lift...

And, what is my unexpected favorite little option I'm glad I ticked the box? .......

The $530 illuminated GT4RS logo in the door sill.

It's yellow, matches the 12oclock strip on the steering wheel, and my door pulls. At night it lights up, and makes me smile.

Added the lighted sills and yellow pulls at the last minute myself, already had yellow PCCB's.

I had no idea at the time, but came perilously close to losing my PCCB's due to the change, but it all locked just a day or two before the PCCB's became NLA, production now completed.

@GainesvilleGT4 or @matttheboatman can you tell whether the GT4 RS door script is under the clear coat or on top?

LEDs weigh more and have a camera on windscreen. More expensive windshield replacements and more weight….no thanks

Stickers are not placed under clear coat. Regardless of model.

led's no longer come with the camera in the windshield, not sure if lighter since led's don't have the ballasts the xenon's come with.

I like how you think!
TBH....LEDs do look much better than the base lights.

I got PDLS+ on my 4RS, i don't really do much night driving, so the additional functionality isn't really needed, they do look better with the 4 point DRL's. The Camera on the windshield is a pain in the *** for having to cover it up with windshield banners for sponsors etc. as it covers the camera and gives error messages. So you end up having to cut a section out.

Regarding OP and Weissach. Two things, I preferred the look without WP on the bonnet, and also it adds no performance so I skipped it. $$$ saved from WP will be spent on Manthey upgrades (i've already done their brake kit) on my 4RS.

On my 4RS the stickers on the door and trunk lid were both on top of the clear and easily came off.

current headlights off are not the Plus. Do they still have the camera?

LED Headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) Includes: LED Headlights - Full LED headlights with low/high beams in LED technology, automatic headlight leveling and LED 4-point daytime running lights. Dynamic Cornering Light - Dynamic cornering lights swivel the low beam in accordance with cornering characteristics, depending on the steering angle. Speed-Dependent Headlight Range Control - Speed-dependent headlight range control increases light distribution after 3,300 feet at 68 mph or higher, or immediately after 81 mph and above provided the steering wheel is not turned sharply.

PDLS (no plus) could be better. Does the camera basically add high beam assist? (not sure what else it does). Seems a lot of additional elements for a feature thats not really that great.

I think it controls the auto wiper settings as well, though I could be wrong. I find the high beam assist generally pretty good, but do agree it can be slow at times.

For sure get the front axle lift even if it’s just for peace of mind. It’s a must for a lot of parking garages too. Great thing about Porsches is how quick the lift is too. 5x faster than my McLaren.

the PLDS turn with the road, motors to do that. They are definitely heavier, which is the reason why the xenons come on the clubsport version
