I have PCCB on my '04 GT3 and my '07 RS. This time I will pass.... not worth the money.

You just need to make sure to drive it for a block or so after you wash your car.

What does Option 585 mean? Its with the delete options, meaning delete cupholders? Just says "cupholders" in the description, not "delete cupholders".

340 Elise, you are spot on. The radio delete option saves 4 kg according to Porsche.

RS standard is NO Cupholders, Decorative cover with RS 3.8 logo

Option 585 gives you Cupholders above glove compartment. Integrated into switch panel behind the trim. Note: Decorative cover without RS 3.8 logo

Where does this MJones operative get all this awesome info??!!

Thanks! I need decorative logo more than I need cupholders ;-)

I wish I could keep Xenon and just do a washer delete....

Thanks MJ. So then...

Std empty weight = 3020#

So if the delete options are:
Headlights - 13 lb.
Radio - 8.8 lb
A/C -?????

Optional Lithium battery 22 lb. (OE option or not)

Then are we looking at a 2976# dry weight? I'm likin that!

All white, for instance... Am I understanding this correctly?
I don't understand it this way:
510 for Red constrasting color
511 for Gold white constrasting color.
But you have to chose one, sadly.

Possibly... although the 'Must Pick' column is blank beside the Grey Black color column. If it was mandatory, you would think it should be indicated there. On the other hand, there are lots of errors and omissions in the Order Guide and probably the only way to know for sure is to input an order, electronically, at a dealership.
