I like Guards Red better without the exposed CF hood.

Ha! Just kidding.

Well, technically, it doesn't have WP...and is a GT4 RS.

But if there's one thing I know, non-WP owners are definitely PROUD. On the fb owners group, every post that has a non-WP build includes a long explanation of how they dislike visible CF, etc.

Non-WP looks fantastic. Super clean and classy. Love it!

I personally would not get the WP - not worth it for this car... Gentian Blue is nice with some yellow accents......

WP is definitely not worth it in the US. No titanium cage, no harnesses, etc.

My incoming SRS has WP but painted hood, I like the non-WP look, but there’s a min options requirement

Weissach Pkg applied in fashion

Been there, done that [in my 20's], and over it.

I some respects the CR intake scoops are cool for the WP, but I actually like mine without those on the guards red car. Looks more like a Ferrari with just the indentation of a scoop, NACA like opening, that is flush with the car. Would I like $14k worth of CF car ornamentation? Or spend that on bullet proof CF Surface Transforms rotors that also lighten the car by 46 pounds of unsprung weight. Of course my answer is the later. To each his own though for what you want to spend your nickels on.

Costs aside, I simply prefer the aesthetics of the non-WP cars and have been surprised by the high take rate of the WP package, which is purely superficial in the US as others have mentioned.

Choosing between PTS non Weissach or Shark Blue with Weissach on a cost basis I preferred the latter.

Why is it surprising? It’s an aesthetic option, which isn’t any different from spending 15k on PTS or even more on CXX. People just like different things. There’s no wrong choice.
