Definitely too small... Can just about fit a small volume of dust in it... So save the cleaning and go smoking is my [non-literal] advice!

Yeah it is seriously small... you can only really put coins in there so I'd go with the no charge smoking package to clean up the look as pictured below.

Latest mod has arrived... should be good for at least 10hp.

Thanks to STG991 for posting about this a little while ago too, I of course had to order it to match my painted interior trim... will post up an installed pic once it is in the car as well.

With your great painted to match interior, you had to do it. Sweet addition!

Couple pics from earlier today... my first track day in the 991 GTS! Was up at the Mosport DDT (small track) bright and early for a day organized by a friend with the 991 GT3 pictured. No pictures/video inside the car as I was focused on going fast... might be time to grab a GoPro.

Goes without saying but the car was completely within its element on the track and it was an absolute blast. It was a super hot day and I got the temps up to 120C/248F but no issues whatsoever. Looking forward to my next track day on July 27th at the big track... big thanks to Jay/Robin for organizing today.

Another track day yesterday... this time at the Mosport Grand Prix (big track) as part of a day organized by my dealer. My first time on the big track and it is serious business, the fastest track in North America apparently. I hit 210 km/h on the back straight and I wasn't pushing it as hard as others... went out for a few runs with the Intermediate group and got passed about 4-5 times in 2 laps too.

Some serious, serious machines out there too... not limited to the following:

Lamborghini Aventador
Lamborghini Huracan
Ferrari F12
McLaren MP4-12C
McLaren 650S
Mercedes AMG GT S
Cayman GT4
991 GT3 (about 4-5 of them)
997 GT3 RS
991 Turbo/Turbo S (3-4 of them)
997 Turbo/Turbo S
996 GT2
M3/M4 (4-5 of them)
And many other Porsche's including 997, 991, Cayman, etc.

A couple pics from the day... including one of a 996 Turbo that hit the barriers at pit entry in the morning session.

Looks like an amazing day! I can't wait for my next track day in a few weeks... nothing better than killing a set of tires, brake pads and a couple of tanks of gas during a track weekend

P.S. Love your car... beautiful!

Couple pics from earlier today... had a quiet weekend around the house so spent a few hours cleaning the car inside and out yesterday and today. After dinner had to take it out for a spin, as usual the car is just a hoot to drive...

Thanks! It is a gorgeous color and I continue to receive compliments on a regular basis... there aren't many Sapphire Blue cars in the Toronto area either although I've seen a few here and there.

As for your decision... if you can swing it RS all the way!!!
