You have me with the triple Webers. Got any pictures to share? DCOE I assume?

Oh , great, I like all those things but so far I have only ordered the Zunsport front grill guards, the RGS side vent guards, Rennline tow hook, Rennline tie down hooks, Apex Anthracite SM-10 19x9 and 19x10.5 wheels, and GT3 brake air deflectors. But the best option, so far, is the Chalk colored Mode Dial from Carpoke head honcho, Tom!
So, thanks as now I have an idea of all the things I need to order over the next few years. I do like your tire choice as that is my next choice , Bridgerock RE71RSs gumballs!

Not sure it’s anything unique but just did a speaker upgrade on the BS Bose system that really helped, added a FitcamX front camera as it’s so easy to install, changed rear designation to “GTS”, Zunsport grilles, AWE Wind diffusers, CF Mirror Covers, Window tint, PPF, Ceramic, and installing OAPS this weekend. Oh, and added a weighted Short Shifter as well as Tom’s rear plate pieces.

@C21ban Did you buy the GTS badge from the dealer? I plan to add just the badge itself when I get the car.

You can get them from this guy on Etsy. I have ordered from him on some previous cars.

Just make sure you don't try to put them on yourself ha. It's harder than It seems getting it PERFECTLY straight I was happy to pay my PPF guy to put them on my old AMG.

@C21ban Beautiful Spec!

Not my 718 - My CLS53 I put on all black badges (he also has AMG and others).

I actually bought them on AliExpress for less than $10 shipped. They are the same size as OEM and can be purchased in Gloss, Matte, and a few different colors. 3M backing as well. Was very pleased w/ quality.

Laying around the house waiting for knee surgery in a little over a week is driving me nuts, but it means my credit cards are getting a workout, ha! Called RGS ( Radiator Grill Store ) and not only were my questions answered I actually got to talk with the owner. What a great guy and I have to admit I do prefer to work with businesses where I can talk with someone instead of just dealing with someone who quotes super low prices but you never get ahold of anyone ( by phone or email ) . What a pleasure and don't get me wrong RGS is very, very competitive and all their products are made in the good ole US of A. Here is an exciting picture of the box I received ( heh, excitement is different when you can't move alot ) and inside are my Cayman GTS side vent grill guards. Thanks to RGS and I found some other items ( really cool frame pucks for use with your jack stand ) I know I will be getting in the future.
