Why do you feel the need feel to comment on it then ? I neither asked for or care for your opinion.
When you call it tacky etc, etc it can become an issue to some as, I am sure you are quite aware of. If you want to be confrontational that is your prerogative but most people say nothing over a trivial issue of taste when they are in disagreement.
you started the comment on it and it has nothing to do with the thread title !When you call it tacky etc, etc it can become an issue to some as, I am sure you are quite aware of.

It's not confrontational, I think it all starts to look a bit tacky, that's my view , it's a forum !

I have seen a GT4 with the 918 carbon backed buckets and carbon trim in the flesh, have you ?It's not confrontational, I think it all starts to look a bit tacky, that's my view , it's a forum !
I affirmed a previous opinion. You pontificated about a car and spec that I doubt you have actually seen (photographs do not count) ??
You also use language likely to offend.

It's fine using a soft top when you're moving, but being stationary stuck in traffic is when A/C is a benefit.
If A/C and stereo is a free I'd spec both. Understand others would choose to go lightweight poverty spec.
why is it poverty spec when it is a no cost option most of the time, poverty spec is not having PCCB :-)!If A/C and stereo is a free I'd spec both. Understand others would choose to go lightweight poverty spec.

I'll guess about 20kg, but whatever it is nothing I'd ever notice with my driving.
I've heard it suggested if you really need to save the weight, don't unspec it just remove the parts and re-fit later for resale.
This seems like the ideal suggestion. I've heard it suggested if you really need to save the weight, don't unspec it just remove the parts and re-fit later for resale.
Given that I would always want to be able to drive these cars long distances (e.g. to track days and driving tours) I would always go for basic aircon and stereo. I'd basically choose no options except bucket seats and cruise control.
I'll always remember getting a passenger ride for the first time in a GT3, in a track focussed 996 clubsport at Snetterton. Tightly strapped in, in the pit lane about to go out, final checks by the driver = tweak the aircon to blow a bit colder because there are two of us in the car....

True the carbon seats don't really look that great either, their carbon does look low rent it looked crap in my CGT and my GT3, what am I thinking!some cars I love Carbon, but it looks too fake In a Porker imo.
