Yeah - I’m sure part of their calculation was not stepping on the toes of certain 911 variants

Yup, that's what I alluded to on the first post. So it took well over a minute with two adults (one well-trained) to put it up. Seems like a nightmare on your own.

Agreed. It's a top down-only car.

Do love the body kit.

I like it. Not necessarily more than the plain Spyder, but he wheels are great, whereas I really do not like the GT4/Spyder wheels.
