I actually like the black flaps; gives contrast and matches with other black trims. However, can't stand the chrome logo pieces; those got to go!

While we are discussing really outside of the box options, what about painting black, or plasty dipping, or 3M Carbon wrap (for reversibility purposes) The windshield uprights by the A pillars, just like the 918 spider. Those would finish the upper portion of the car as it goes into the black roof quite nicely.

There are a few reversible mods that I want to do to mine when it arrives. I will probably use the 3M carbon wrap, to try this one.

Nice!!! Love the PCCB's, Leather Seat Backs and the Painted PCM!!!


Do you notice the difference in the shade of Yellows between the Calipers, Stitching and Belts? The Stitching and Belts are a brighter yellow... correct???

The Leather Seat Backs are a must for the Sofas on the Spyder... The standard silver grey color is so out of place from the rest of the car.

I am picking the car up from the dealer on Monday. I will take a close look at the color of calipers v. belts and stitching. My first impression is that the belts/stitching is a brighter yellow and the calipers have a slight orange tint. But I will take a closer look.

Yeah, I think the PCM in blue looks much better than I expected...really makes the interior pop. Also like the leather seat backs.

My personal beef with the silver/grey backs is the fact that there is not a single part of the Spyder that utilizes that plastic color and finish. It clashes with the rest of the car and on a convertible where it is visible it's a problem as you see it constantly. That finish is a leftover detail that originated from the 987.1 and Porsche has slowly removed it from the interiors. The seats are the last piece that exists.

LOVing the blue PCM. Really makes a big difference and worth the cost. Regrets for me. Also loving the leather seat backs. Another regret for me. The blue is really beautiful and I like the hoops; it's so beautiful in fact that the wort really bugs in this iteration. Usually it doesn't bug me so much.

I do love It, and I debated it strongly. But I can't think of an option which is so expensive for so little effort. A tiny painted edging around the nav screen is what, $1900.. That is INSANE. All respect to the guy who chooses it, makes them a true lover of the details... But I couldn't bring myself to do it
