What do you guys recommend? or are they all the same and it is simply personal preference?
For the reasons @WheelsB mentioned and more, I went with Techart. Techart HAS is made by KW and are a variant of KW HAS.

I have a 5 year old future Porsche owner who sits in the back of my T… she’s the reason I bought the car in the first place!

This to me is the sole reason to get rear seats. If I had kids, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But the "get my moneys' worth" argument is lost on me. I got deviated stitching and belts and adding rear seats never crossed my mind. I don't want to lug dead weight, even if it's only 25lbs and I love the purposeful look of rear seat delete. There's a reason Clubsports and RSs don't have rear seats and the T is really a Clubsport forced to wear a different badge.

It's nice that we all have a choice with the T - not only that, a free choice!

Need to catch up reading here. But wanted to share this milestone. The roadtrip km are shown above. On my way back now and still have around 1650km to go before home.

The exhaust is really coming to life with more pops & bangs than before. Very noticeable, although it clearly is NOT a 991.2 T of course.

The ultimate car for this ultimate roadtrip.

How do you deal with the layer of fine dust that accumulates after each drive? I'm afraid the California Car Duster that I'd used for years will leave scratches on the paint, so I'm hosing the car down with a power washer (no soap) and drying with a Klin microfiber drying towel.

Fun fact -- the founder of iFly, Alan Metni, races in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America and campaigns a 911 GT3 R (992) in IMSA GTD.

I don’t. My car is allowed to get dirty.

I always get my keys painted by the dealer. Same quality and the dealer pays.

All I can tell you is that more power is not always more fun. When driving up the highway with the T 160km/h is a pretty nice speed and I will not be losing my driver license. With the S I would be driving like 200km/h and thus I felt more nervous. Also squeezing out the maximum performance of a car is always nicer than driving on 80%. To me it’s about that balance. The T just delivers in this respect.

Nice idea! Here is my old one.

You've got to have the highest mile Carrera T in the world right now. Well done! I've got a 6k km roadtrip coming up. About 4k km are boring so debating shipping the car for that stretch and just doing the 2k km fun part.
