I am considering adding the below to my build. I would rather have the Sport Design bumper cover, but I refuse to drop $3240 for it.

What costs $3240? The lower lip of the front air dam painted to match the car?

Sport design front bumper alone - the front bumper with the painted outwardly slanted bars,
You can get the sport design 'package' with the front bumper, the rear valence with the winglets and side skirts for $4890
Edit: actually for $4890 you don't get the side skirts, just the rear valence and lip that SCA is showing in addition to the sport design bumper. The "recommended" side skirts are $1290 extra

SCA, when I was obsessing over a build, I went back and forth on the front bumper as well. After spending time looking at the standard and SD one back to back, I grew to like the standard one more. Totally a matter of personal preference, but to me the sport design looks a lot like the 991.1 bumper. The standard bumper is one of the few visuals that really sets the 992 apart from the older cars.

I would go with standard 992 look.

Yes, and apparently that is why many select it.

The above is the “standard 992 look” with the lower lip painted for $640. Painted lower lip - pic A. Factory matte black lip - pic B. Sport Design front bumper @ $3240 (not a consideration) - pic C.

I have and would again go with the plastic black spoiler, I like the fact that if it gets scratched up which it does, it is easily replaceable.

Yep… $310 for the part.

Saw my first 911 Dakar today. It is at the dealer by my house and had the rally design package. Not sure how I feel about the graphics, but it's a cool concept. It would be great on the awful roads here in Houston though.

I think it’s super cool that they make that car.
