It's not a fair comparison, the only GR car in there is covered under wrap and it's not a GT3!

The yellow does look good though. I saw one in person yesterday and liked it quite a lot. RY is definitely my second choice after GR.

Default Spec

My build
Sport buckets
Regular wheels
Front axle lift
Carbon fiber door sills
Sports chrono track precision app
PCM/Nav

Decided to forgo the LEDs after many people on the forums were talking about how they disable the brightness and the "plus" part of the PDLS features of the lights for the U.S. market. Nonetheless, I am having doubts as they look very cool with the four daytime running lights!
Love the responses. No truer words...don't buy for the next guy...

Red, Yellow ... I think we can say the jelly bean colors look great on the 991 GT3.

Personally happy to have a not white and not silver car on the way! Assured it will stand out from the crowd, just a bit.

^^ I ended up getting the LEDs after several back and forth because of the 4 dots DRL. If you remove the carbon fiber door sill and replace that with the LEDs, you'll have a wonderful build

I added carbon fiber to the interior and center console. I'm thinking of adding the door sills but there is enough silver still in the car that I felt it was fine without.

What do you guys think?

During tech tactics yesterday Andrew Lennon talked about the technology in the LEDs. There is a camera in the rear view mirror that will detect cars in front of you and oncoming traffic and project the LEDs around it, so they have the ability to do left/right/up/down adjustment to move away from other drivers FOV.

Even if you don't the automated brightness adjustments there is still a lot more going on with the LEDs.

The GT3 doesn't have that camera. That is part of the "plus" in PDLS+ that the GT3 doesn't get.

LEDs are just for looks on the GT3 in the US.

Isn't that technology part of the "Plus" that the LEDs in the GT3 don't get? Other models (like Turbo, which has this extra camera) do get this however.

Edit: Mech33 you're quick on the draw!

I did the carbon sills as well for consistency. Then the only silver in the car is plastic, not brushed aluminum.

Couldn't you just order an OEM camera & retrofit onto your car???.....or is there more involved???

Any idea if the LED's for the Canadian market are the same as the U.S. market?

^Bronson7, I believe the Canadian ones are the same as the US. So no LED Plus for us either.

I have a feeling that would be unlikely to work given all the software and systems involved in making PDLS+ work... that might be all the hardware you need, but "turning it all on" would be a big unknown.
