Moto-Man does raise some very valid points with his wish list comments.

If I could have double liked your post I would have. No back seat but add heavy sunroof? Go light or don't dude.

What are your thoughts on sport design package? I think standard and sport design front bumpers are equally good looking but the standard rear bumper is so broad and flat. My SA suggested, if I go SD, then I should go full front, rear, and sides which substantially increases the build cost. SD doesn't seem to be a common option on the aftermarket and I am not too crazy about the SD side skirts.

My current build has the SportDesign front fascia and side skirts, no rear SD. It saves a little money and is still better looking from the front than the standard version IMO. SportDesign does remove the variable cooling vent feature however and according to some, a slight loss of fuel economy.

I think the standard bumper is similar to the 991.2. There is still paint on the far left and right edges that can get scraped. Ask me how I know. I won't be getting FAL since I now know where I can scrape the bumper (and won't be driving up that driveway anymore), but according to my SA the new FAL allows you to save locations via GPS and it will automatically deploy. Pretty neat.

I keep going back and forth between the SD bumper and the regular with active aero. I'd do GT3 side skirts on the side and I like the regular bumper vs the US spec rear Sport Design bumper

I'm going full Aero and side skirts. What the hell! LOL. I just love the look, especially the side skirts... and the wing... and the bumpers. I'll enjoy looking at the car that much more every day, long after the money is forgotten.

Just keep in mind aerokit availability is spotty at best and Porsche might ask you to pull it off your allocation

In an attempt to clean up the rear of the SD bumper, I would love to remove this plastic plate holder.

Assuming it's there to cover some holes from Euro plates though? Can anyone confirm?
