I had that "hole" in my previous GTS. I used to pour some water in and my Pomeranian used to drink out of it! #truestory

We had the same path. I also spec'd my GT4 and as a result, knew without a doubt what I wanted, including the PCCB's and the PDK-S. Wouldn't change a thing.

Only regret getting the Sport Chrono Package. Utterly useless.

Just simply didn't think I needed it. I'm getting 190 miles each fill, but hearing that 4.0 scream > efficiency

I hate the headlight washers, since the ppf has to have a hole cut just for those. Not that there was a choice in the matter.
No regrets on my options. Love the bucket seats. My toughest decision was whether to get a manual or pdk. I'm happy with the pdk and no regrets not getting it in manual.

My .2 GT3 came pretty loaded (~$180,000). I did not Spec it out but it had almost everything I would of selected. But, it came with Painted side-skirts which I do not care for. Just another painted area one has to cover and/or be worried about

Yes, mine was the first Touring built for NA. You might remember it even had a unique mistake: the PORSCHE lettering on the back of the car was Black, and was supposed to be Silver. I've kept it Black. I now have a bit over 11,000 miles and love the car even more than when I got it. I'm still on the original Cups 2's, but plan to replace them before the rains come.

Seems like a few have regretted on getting dimming mirrors. Aren't those pretty useful at night?

I find it almost to be a requirement since there are so many trucks and SUVs on the road in CA. The little undimmed ring around the outside is a little annoying though.

They are necessary for night driving, but they are not great because a 1/4in rim around the outside does not dim.
