Lol - I'm no expert!

But you have painted white + silver microfiber + black leather + black alcantara + silver door pulls + yellow seat belts. Seems like a lot going on is all.

This was the cheapest Cayman I could find when I was shopping for a donor for my track car had painted slats. I couldn't bring myself to do it - it looked similar to this:

Did you go back and forth with the lift option? Every pic shot from an up angle makes it look like the RS is much higher than the 1.3 so I'm conflicted on if I'd spec the lift. My job has sizable speed humps with not a lot of ability to angle over them.

Could not live without a lift. Live in the city with steep ramps just about everywhere. On my 997.1 (no Lift) I have had six splitters so far, zero on the 997.2 (splitter).
That is a fairly big part on the 991...no way would I risk it unless I was living in the Texas Panhandle.

Thanks for the advice on the lift. I know from previous posts when the 1.3 was first hitting the scene how polarizing this option is and that each has their own circumstances. I certainly would be upset with myself if I opted not to check the box on the lift and then kill the seemingly longer splitter every time I take the car to work!

This car will get driven plenty, but in the states.
Its worth it.

Yes, common sense says it cost you a bag.
But driving to the alps, the Ring, Spa, go see some F1 races...

Yes, unless it comes so late that its snowing, that's why I cancelled in 2010.

A soon as we get dates we can start coordinating.

You can leave it in Germany longer, up to 6 months just pay extra insurance. I hope to leave it there 4-5 months flying back and forth...

If license plate holding you back don't let it. Picked up car spring 2015, the factory taped plate to front of car.
Envious and enjoying you guys getting new RS.
