Delete it. need the headroom.

 

It's obviously all individual preference as we can see by the comments in this thread. Having said that, the sunroof delete seems like the norm in the UK. London during the summer is quite nice and they have their share of sunny days, but I think the European approach/culture towards automobiles and motorsports is just different. I also see a lot of model designation deleted porsches here or just a plain '911'. I'm beginning to appreciate that look to be honest.

 

I've got lightweight brittle PCCBs, but then threw on a set of 'heavier' RE-11s, but I did remove my rear seats. Next on the remove list are the good for nothing bose subwoofers. My car came with the sunroof - otherwise I would probably go with the delete option if I bought new.

 

I am right with you on the sub woofers, and I too wouldn't order the sunroof. This subject is even more sticky with the 997.1 GT3 (non RS) owners, as there was no sunroof delete option available. If PCNA were to include this as an option (it's not like they limit you to just a few choices) I am sure that we would see 50% or more without them. It is nice to have the PCCB, however they would get pretty pricey to replace after a few seaons (or less) on the track. I installed the 2 piece Giro Disc rotors on mine, lighter the the OEM steels and they last a lot longer as they are slotted and not drilled (no spider cracking).

 

My sunroof was opened during delivery, I think; never since. The only good thing about it is that it does not leak. Not only should there be a "delete" option, we ought to get a $200 credit.

 

a sunroof is not sporty and destroys the fine line of the roof

 

The sunroof is one of those items that generates profits. Just another electro/mechanical item to fail. Mine stays closed all of the time.

 

Oh, man, the 911 sunroof is one of the best. Very calm cabin over 70 mph. Did you know it opens almost all the way, but to a point that is optimal for cabin wind noise?

Never want a cab, but want to enjoy the Spring and Fall weather. Perfect compromise. The 911 is also amazing because it has tons of headroom even with the sunroof. I was practically hitting my head in my M3 with the sunroof - but I suppose some would argue that at least it had a delete option.

 

One thing that annoys me are the sunroof space gaps that I have to deal with when I wash/detail the car.The roofline would feel soooo much better without the sunroof. How much weight would the sunroof delete option save?

Btw, I didn't let PCCBs stop me however - I would go to slotted steel as an upgrade so to speak and put the ceramics aside for the time being.
