Questions for any real world owners

I used to scrape the rubber spoiler lip on my 3.2 Carrera with factory F/R spoilers, as well as the wheel fairings on my 996 and 997.2, none of which were lower than the 991 GT3 so I'm really surprised by the comments stating that people never scrape their cars.
It's not about money, it's about some additional peace of mind that if my car is ever in an unusual situation that requires that extra inch and a quarter of clearance (not to mention getting up my own driveway) I won't have to sweat it. TEHO.

Hello Macca!
I have the led's and they are rather impressive, corner lights, full beam adapting to speed and if you have the foglight on they switch to a wider and closer beam. They really create daylight in front of you, very cool, wouldn't want to miss it on a car which your liable to drive fast on dark country roads :-)

Thx Macca. Like I said previously I have yet to scrape my 0.2 nose after two yr's of ownership and I drive this car everywhere. I think the lift is a scam from Porsche to be honest with you. I am pretty close to canceling this option. I just need a little push. uuuurrrr

That Grey looks amazing indeed in combination with the black PDLS!
Still have to see it in the flesh but if my order wasn't already locked yet I seriously would consider getting this combo. Luckily I have already finished this very tough decision making process! ;-) My baby is in the making as we speak ;-)

garage ground clearance issue potentially solved
my incredibly generous upstairs neighbor, has decided to go carless... which means that for the forseeable future... I have two garage spots. The relevant point though.. is that his garage spot seems to have less of a diagonal incline, which could make it easier for me to be able to get this darn gt3 into the garage. Also, now I have a spot for my bikes and my everyday work car. Pretty cool to have this luxury in San Francisco. Hope he stays carless FOREVER!!
Here are pics of the incline.. the trouble has always been the "breakover" from the driveway to the garage entrance on the left side (of the left garage space which is mine). This breakover is so pronounced, that the previous guy in the garage couldn't get his Tesla sedan to raise high enough with it's suspension to get in without scraping. IMO, This would have been a deal-breaker with the 997 gt3.. let alone with the longer wheelbase 991
Now I have the garage on the right to use also... I'm thinking that with the flatter approach and the front wheel lift system I should be ok?... here is hoping. Larry Cable is coming over on the 14th to see if his 997 can make it.. but if any local SF guys with a 991 care to take a shot at it...
