Duck tail and sport technos? I think that’s a win. Also, I don’t care what anyone says: Black is the sharpest color. Yes, other colors are great. I own an agate gray that I love, but black is always the sharpest. Objectively.

once I saw the duck tail and wheels, the car was a must have for me. Sport Design steering wheel and a few other upgrades made the car truly irresistible for me. Thanks!

Thumbs up Welcome

Nice choice,
Here we have a 2017 911.2S and just added a 2016 Boxster GTS last weekend.
The latter with Sport Techno

Same story here. I didn't even know the ducktail existed as I was shopping 997s. When I saw this on the dealer lot, I had to have it.

Same for me. Saw the factory ducktail and was sold. Welcome!

I'm still toying with silver wheels instead of black.

Thanks everyone!
Visited the dealer today for the two recent recalls.
This car is a pleasure to drive.
