Yes I did. I definitely feel like it's one of those options that you will regret not getting.

I skipped it and couldn't care less. Didn't have on 991.2 GTS either. Occasionally I'll rub on an egregiously tall speed bump or sharp driveway. No negative consequences to speak of. The under part of that front lip is rubbed up a bit but you can't see it without putting the car up on a lift. That's a disposable part. Few hundred bucks to replace after a few yrs, if necessary. I never had to change it on my 991.2.

Yeah I see what you mean, it is something you can get away with if you're careful. But it does make life a little easier, especially since I plan on lowering the car a little more.

I remember sitting down while building my spec and realizing I have four speed bumps to go through just to get in and out of my complex lol.

Are you having any issues with the light weight package ride being a little bit stiffer and are you happy with the bucket seats and the manual? I have a very similar spec minus the crayon paint. Now wondering if I should quickly add the front lift. Thank you for sharing really helpful.

You can buy six front lips for the price of FAL.

Driving around in normal mode it rides very smooth. The only thing that caught me off guard was the tire noise on SOME surfaces. It can get pretty loud but I place the blame on bad road surfaces. On smooth roads I have no complaints.

I'm a skinny guy so the bucket seats don't bother me at all. This is not my daily driver so I have no problem going with the most aggressive spec. Manual transmission is very easy to drive too.

if you're 50/50 on the front axle lift I say go for it.. 2k doesn't really make much difference on such an expensive car anyway IMO.

Three fonts. “Carrera” and “GTS” are written using the same font.

I dont think so and others will have to review your challenge. How can you confirm - do you have your car to prove so

LOLOL I joke but I watched a video where someone said it was 4 fonts... Im good with it.

Thank you for sharing I appreciate the review and advice. Now I still have to wait but really excited for early to middle Spring. Mine will also not be a daily driver so that was what I based my spec on as well.

Thank you, as I've specced it owing to an awkward entrance to my driveway and also my underground work car park which involves a steep decline and incline on entry and exit respectively.
