What do you not like about it?

Too me the car looks pre-pubescent without the SD front spoiler.

Love it on mine.

good question; 1st I am not a fan of the painted splitter (for both esthetic and other practical reasons) 2nd, I wonder if it makes the front of the car look 'unbalanced', bloated?

I think I need to see one 'in the flesh', I suspect that this picture was taken using a
wider angle lens that has introduced a little distortion...

Yeah, the picture with the white car in the showroom is definitely distorted.

I love the SD front fascia. Would have ordered it, but at some point I just had to stop checking boxes. I stopped at the PowerKit box.

Tick both, you won't regret it. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I would not own a 911 with the base front bumper. It's SD/Aero Cup or nothing for me. I guess I'm a front bumper snob.

There's no question that the angle of that pic distorts the front end. I think that if you look at cars with and without the SD fascia, it's the SD one that looks more balanced front to back (especially at ground level). From that side angle, non-SD cars look a bit chinless.

Larry, are you going blue top over sapphire?

Thats the plan! - mulling the interior at this point; either black or black/platinum

I've seen several 991s with SD Package. I think it depends on the color. Dark-colored 991s looked generally better with SD front and ducktail.

Your 'money' on that comment. Just purchased the Cup Aero for my black/black C4S coupe. This reminds me I need to update the other thread I was documenting my experience with that upgrade.

Sapphire is by far the best non-PTS color available imo. I'm going to go with a black roof and interior, with some deviating stitching inside to make it a bit more interesting.
