Don't think I would say "just." The PCM does too many things to replace and is good enough for it's musical purpose: a receiver, pre-amp and equalizer for the stereo. There are now separate amps for the tweeters, drivers and sub as well as a driven tweeter in the rear-view mirror and cross-overs. If your not impressed by the amount of equipment (which I see is a selling point to some), I can say they sell superior sound.

I wish! California Sales Tax in Los Angeles is 9.25% of the purchase price. California license fees are about .8% of purchase price. I don't even want to total that for you.

Now that I've had a chance to really drive it, yes I love it more. Much more refined and capable than my '06, 997, 4S Cab. which was already wretched excess for the street. As all the public reviewers have written it's a great combination of usability and capability / performance. I find it very quiet except in sport + mode even with the sun roof open which suits me as I am a music guy (see above).

Very glad you enjoy yours. Have any good pictures? Curious we don't see more in this combination as it's stunning. I need to get some more pictures in the sun...

I wasn't either. I prefer the cleaner look and light bar of the C4 GTS to the scoops and wing of the Turbo, etc., esp. for the street. But, the GTS (and 991 in general) spoiler in the up position is not graceful though thought that's just my opinion and this wing looked great in pictures that I saw of it... On my '06 4S Cab., I replaced the nose but kept it Porsche. That would be cost prohibitive, here.

Would you mind sharing total project cost details - parts, labor, painting (if any involved)? Thank you.

I've purposely avoided that issue and that of the 991.1 v. .2 debate. There is no right answer and the choices are purely subjective. I have driven a stick since 1970 in my cousin's heavily modified '65 Mustang (think GT 350 clone) and a "3 on the tree" before that. I've owned a stick(s) since 1983. In the GTS, I have reached for the clutch a few times and do enjoy revving out a motor with a MT. Having said that, the PDK is a technological marvel to be enjoyed and appreciated unto itself. I don't love the "short shifts" but recognize the PDK shifts for performance, not for "aural" pleasure. As you may have seen above, I'm a music guy and prefer my stereo to exhaust notes. So, it works for me.
