Is that the Paldao wood option? How good does it look in person, in your opinion?
I'm a fan of wood in cars and definitely want to spec this option but I'd love to hear from people who have seen it in person.

I wavered back and forth a lot, but ended up not taking it. I do think the SD-spoiler makes the car look a bit more interesting, but the SD-front does not look very good. At least not with most of the standard paint colors. It makes the car look a bit too much like an after-market JDM-car, rathern than a classic and stylish Porsche.

As far as the Sport Design, I actually wanted to 'sport' up the look of the Turbo S, I feel like Porsche has a bad habit of making all its cars look the same (well very similar), and I wanted something that helped to set mine apart by a little bit. That said, I absolutely went back and forth on if the price was worth it. If it was a 'zero' cost option, it would be a no brainer yes. But because I didn't love the front like I did the Back, I almost didn't do it. To me, the back of the 911 is a 'must have' for the sport design, but the front was a 'eh, I could take it over leave it' That said, the front is quickest way for me to figure out if someone has the sport design package. Those front winglets are the signature, but for me... that sweet *** end is what sold me on picking the Sport Design.

I like the sport design, would do it again. The front appears wider and more squared. I like it, it's well done. The back balances the cabriolet more than the coupe, but I like it on the coupe too. If it wasn't available, not a big deal.
I also like the Paldao, and have it on 2 cars. I am a big fan of mid-century modern and clear-coated wood. It's a matte finish and is close to walnut or acacia. It doesn't necessary go with every interior color, though.

I got the sport design package in High Gloss. Added window trim, rear air intakes and rear slats in high gloss.
I love the look. Car looks more substantial and aggressive with it.

Honestly, I am ok if more people chose NOT to get it. I like how it makes cars with it stick out a little bit more. Dont get me wrong, nothing about these says Lambo/Ferrari in your face, but I do think when you pull up on the rear of it, the car is saying "You sure you want some of this? I'm not a normal Porsche ..... Mr. Corvette Mustang Camaro Guy"
Examples of where I think it just looks meaner (from this thread):
Oh and this guy had the booster rocket pack installed in his exhaust to go with his Sports Design:

In my personal opinion, the front winglets and rear wing up-wings look like an after thought, and take away from the clean silhouette of the 911. I agree, it’s appearance harkens to body-kits one would put on JDM vehicles that can sometimes be over the top. The Sport Design package does add a little flair that isn’t so flashy, however, was not for me.

I guess since we are being honest lol, I kinda felt the ‘stock rear’ seemed like a mini ducktail with a pancake slapped on top of it. Its just not for me. But I am not the Porsche purists that many of you are. I’m not looking to just be subtle, I like my cars with a little attitude…. Apparently JDM attitude…lol
