Graphics on the seats can be deleted. So can the pinstripes on the wheels...
I don't know what chip you have on your shoulder but I've been digesting as much info as I have the time for. I recall AP discussing the wheel pinstripe multiple times but nothing about the seat graphics. And honestly I don't think needs to be a prerequisite to
participate in a thread that exploded to 70 pages in two days. We don't all have the time you do.

That's with effectively a 100% registration tax which you can recover if exported if I'm not wrong. HK/Singapore (which is even worse as it's 2x the base price) aren't very car friendly places unfortunately....

RS is the way to go if you're already in position.

Although some prices have come down with certain options there are others' that have gone up and more upgrades added. Tough to stay under $160,000 if you want some decent stuff.

Is the Back-up camera standard and also see nothing for climate control?

I see the Bose upgrade but AP said they took out more sound deadening so see the Bose as a waste especially now that he said the car starts singing at 6200 rather than 7500 to redline

Some of the MSRP price bump is within the standard features which were options with the .1 such as PDLS lights as standard which lowers the price of the other headlight options, track app which lowers price of chrono, sound package plus is also standard leaving room for another audio option (Bose), PCM was always free I think but now includes a camera and Apple Carplay, telephone module/bluetooth/PVTS/internet are all standard

But then some things just went up in price such as special colors, lightweight buckets (now with a stripe), extended tank, what else?

This is what im going to do with all this manual and natural aspirated engines hype, im currently selling my European spec 991.1 Gt3 RS LO with 4000 miles, i will still sell it with a mark up, i will pay my debt and also buy the new GT3 6speed, (this is the one to keep) then next year i will get the RS (hoping is a 6speed) and then decide if its worth to keep the gt3 or just the RS... im 1 on the list so no problems there...(coming from a 2014 gt3 and a 2016 RS) im planning to spec my gt3 very classy and daily driver, i want to drive every day this car, 18 way seats, no led's, no pccb's, just leather on dash and doors and a very basic spec, and the 2019-2020 RS i will spec it raw, no a/c, no radio, bucket seats, pccb's, no leather on dash, etc... colors??? I still do not know, for the GT3 i want a "discreet color", RS loud color Drive safe and please if you can send me your feedback... peace

In regards to the Bose, I get there's less sound deadening but it will still be better than sound plus. If you don't want the added weight, avoid it. I will be driving the car around town a lot at mortal levels of RPM, haha, and wouldn't mind the better stereo. I think previous threads mentioned it weighs 18lbs more ?? or such.
I think I'm going with cast iron brakes and definitely the bose based on practicality/potential future costs (brakes). MT will offset some of that weight. In the big picture, it should have no effect on performance in my case and 99% of RL's.
I think it's about the ethos of having the lightest and most "pure" car. Options are good

I'm debating that one too. Bose has always been just a modest upgrade in Porsches, but this .2 GT3 I will likely keep for at least a decade, so I'm not going to deprive myself, if its even 20% better than the stock speakers.

That said, I'll be listening to the engine most of the time.........
