I have it and like it a lot. Had it on my previous 997.2 GTS also. I think the car looks much better with it, but wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

True that, plus, you have the Sport Design front bumper. That effect egress a little too.

Isn't the GT3 an additional 10 mm lower then SPASM? Then the front spoiler on the GT3 extends out further also, making travel over speed bumps and entering driveways even more difficult.

I'm pretty sure you are correct. So, a staggering 30mm below sea level (base non PASM 991).

There does not appear to be any way to add the GTS Interior Package without first adding the Black Leather Interior incl. Alcantara GTS Package. So it's safe to say that the GTS Interior Package does NOT get you the leather on the door tops and dashboard. You pay for those separately (Black Leather Interior incl. Alcantara GTS Package) and then pay additionally for the seatbelt, floor mats, red tach, deviated stitching, and CF trim (GTS Interior Package). In my case I got the leather package and skipped the last step of the GTS Interior Package. I did add colored seat belts and instruments separately though along with some other tidbits to tailor the interior to my taste. I just wanted to clarify as I think some of us don't understand that if you want the GTS Interior Package the actual cost to get it is $7,970.00 since you must get the Black Leather Interior incl. Alcantara GTS Package first.
Yep, it is expensive. The Porsche marketing people know how to extract cash from us. Then, if you get the optional 18 way seats like many of us do, that rings up the cash register for another $3,000 or so.

It's weird. I have a GTS on order with the "plain" GTS interior package selected. I did not select the additional package that included different belts, deviated stitching, and center gauge. I did select different belts and added added CF trim.

The car will have the full alcantara treatment, including seat cushions, lower dash, and PDK shift lever (I like it and am in the minority on RL I know). I still have not figured out if there is any additional leather on the dash. I think not but am not certain. I'll know in a week or so when I take delivery.

It's a bit confusing, and the configurator should contain more details I think.

You're right, it can be confusing. I think your assumption is correct based on your description, and you won't have leather on dash or the tops of the door panels.

I am so paranoid about scrapping the front apron with the standard PASM. Perhaps it is better that I don't have the Sports PASM. I do like the look of the lowered car though. Miss that. Well, I can't have it all!

If you have this on your build sheet: Black Leather Interior incl. Alcantara GTS Package

Then you have full leather on the dashboard and door tops.

That's the draw back of Sport PASM. I ordered PDDC w/ Sport PASM, it's pretty low. I scraped the bottom of the front apron already on a dip that didn't look all that steep, luckily it's only a slight one and you cannot see it unless you actually get down there and look under the car. Can't see it from above . I figured it was bound to happen when I bought it. But I loved the look. It really hurts when it actually happens.

Thanks guys. I guess I do have it. I will know for sure in a week when I pick it up at the dealer. And to the OP, love your car, didn't mean to hi-jack the thread.
