Wow, that's great. I'd buy a GT3 if I could get it at sticker.

I agree with the prior comment: tell the dealer to install the PPF, add it to the price you pay, and guarantee they buy the car back from you for the combined total cost.

I might be in the minority here, but I think the GT4RS will appreciate far more than the GT3. A 992.2 GT3 might be a different story but the 992 GT3, while it’s an amazing car, the GT4RS is a once-in-a-generation car, and the last mid-engined Porsche, probably EVER, and the last of anything is in a different league. If it was me, I’d keep the GT4RS. To be clear I’m a 911 guy 😅 don’t kill the messenger

I expect the GT4RS will be more exhilarating to drive but I’m a sucker for the 911 body style. Last 2 cars I drove were a Turbo S and a GT4.

Seems like currently the pricing has gone much higher for the GT4RS so you’re probably right.

Same here. I'm starting to contemplate taking my 911 and relocating the engine to the rear seat delete area. 911 looks and 718 balance. Hmm

This will mock up with my Lizard Green T interior perfectly! Time to sit back and wait for it to be made.

Nice idea. Is that from sports shifters? Definitely send pictures when it arrives!

That's funny, today I ordered a shifter from them for my Cayman. The 911 shifter looks really good, it'll be hard for me to swap it out.

- Perfectly matches the alcantara and Carmine red stitching from the GTS interior package. Why is there an option to pay $8920 for deviated stitching and said stitching is absent from the steering wheel?? It doesn’t make any sense!
- The carbon fiber steering wheel trim has a GTS badge at the bottom that is absent from the 992 GTS package for some reason (I’m not sure if this is from a Taycan GTS, or another model, but why isn’t this included???)
- Custom Red 12 O’Clock Marker
- The seller included some red +/- vinyl stickers that fit nearly perfectly for the Weissach paddle shifters (which he also sells, and they’re not back ordered and are cheaper than Suncoast currently)

I’ve gotta say… I’m pretty used to over-promised and under-delivered items when it comes to custom stuff, so this was a very pleasant surprise





finally installed - not the best picture but an initial before & after



Before

After - how it should have come from the factory

Yes it is @ctmartin123 Their site doesn't permit you to configure and see what you have in mind so I sent my build in to info@sportshifters.com and a gent got back with mock-ups.

Finally got my clear lights, Ordered in February. Only took 30 minutes to install. Now I have to figure out what to do about the reflectors at the bottom of bumper.
