back in 2009 with the intro of the 997.2, my dealor had a DBM cab that my spouse wanted me to trade for the Boxster i had at that time.

it is a great dark colour but hard to find on the lot these days.

I think the difference between a base and an S would be noticeable when driving, even during daily driving. but again, this is just what I think, I haven't driven both, only the S.
Maybe I should have just kept my thoughts to myself. I am no billionaire, so every choice on the laundry list was carefully thought out. When I came to spacers, I went "ummm, no".

Sorry, but I think you might be blind or in need of a new pair of glasses. The additional 10mm SPASM drops the car over PASM is very noticeable to me and the 20mm drop SPASM provides over a non-PASM car is tremendous. More-so SPASM provides a more sporting suspension. If I were to order a 991 it would be an "S" and have SPASM w/spacers. As subtle as the 5mm spacers are, they are still noticeable and defines the car. Congrats to the owner!!!

Very well said! Are you back and did you get yours yet?

I'm back in town just for the day and then flying out first thing in the morning. Should pick it up on Wednesday!

I went by the dealer today and saw it ready to go (they were closed).

So close, yet so far!
