OTOH on track the standard settings are not ideal as the front tends to understeer on the limit. Adding camber to the front will need too much steering correction when driving on rough roads imo.
Based on my experience I would agree with regard to stock settings on track, but don't forget the front on the RS is a 265mm that's a wide tyre, if you have the right PSIs and heat in them you need to be going some to get the front to "wash out". With regard to having to much camber and requiring steering correction on the front for road use. A lot depends on other settings and if those that provided the settings knows what they are doing. I used to run my 14k Miles 991RS with -1.9 Camber (all my own settings) on the front and I agree it was not good on roads, stock much better. On my last Yellow RS I ran -3.0 Camber on Front and over -2.5 on the rear along with out of range for Toe and Ride height. (JCR Provided) With these settings the car was perfect on roads. So much so that when I gave the car back to supplying OPC after a year and 12 track days, it drove so well that they decided to leave the car on the JCR set up, in case it went to a track bias new owner.

Porsche are better than that. They don't need Influencers. So Mr JWW gets an allocation. Do Porsche pay him 25K for the privilege? Mr JWW has Porsche begging him to take a car

Is there any visual difference between these two options that are both saying black? My car is black and want to make sure I don't get a big silver surround or something!
First (much cheaper option) LED main headlights in black incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Second (expensiveoption) LED main headlights with matrix beam including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) in Black. The latter mentions the following: Differentiated look includes:
- daytime running light trims in Black (matt)
- decorative ring in Dark Chrome
- reflective ambient speedlines
Function and geometry as the LED main headlights with matrix beam including PDLS Plus.
Do I need the second one for a black car or the first one is okay? I'm not bothered about the Matrix but am wondering why the second one mentions decorative ring in Dark Chrome. Is that going to be silver chrome on the first option?

I had the same thought. I paid for PDLS for my 991.2 specifically to get the black rather than grey or silver trim ring but it was expensive, I'm also not bothered about the different functionality of the lightsFirst (much cheaper option) LED main headlights in black incl.

Here's a couple of pics from the configurator where I have bumped up the highlights and shadows to the same level in each to help see the difference.
I think the Matrix ones are slightly sexier because of the extra detail from the dark chrome surrounds of the DRL's and main light. I also prefer how the Matrix ones seem to have a bigger eyeball within the housing but I'm not sure I prefer them so much that they are worth an extra £2K. I don't think the cheaper PDLS will look odd on a black car. Maybe see if you can find a real pic rather than a rendering to compare. I imagine they are the same as other 992 lights and there are plenty of them out there.
PDLS at £434
Matrix at £2487
Thanks for the input. Is the ring around the light on the first picture chrome/silver as opposed to dark chrome (black?) on the second picture? If so what are we actually paying to be black on the first option? Is it the housing?

Another photo of the PTS Azzuro Thetys 992GT3, seems to really suit the car. What do you think? Better than Shark Blue?
Reminds me too much of the unpopular Rhodium Silver and a very expensive option for such a similar colour being pts.
