It's definitely not as "sporty" in a sports car like a Porsche especially, but I think it looks classier and "more expensive". Basically kind of a Luxury VS Sport thing. I've seen some pics of it on the 991's and did kind of like them, but it's very color and setup dependent.

One thing I always like about high quality aluminum window trim is that UP CLOSE it looks very pleasing, whereas the flat black rubber/plastic you have on a black-window-trim 991 looks kind of cheap/unfinished, IMO, which also goes for the Panamera. BMW's Shadowline trim at least has a more "finished" look, IMO.

my 991 was ordered by accident with it - it's a GT Silver with the Aluminum strip - it looks surprisingly good - the dealer had a PS and my GT next to each other - the PS had the black trim and i must say (albeit that i am biased) the GT looked more 'finished' with the silver trim..

...i just got the message from my PC and it is as it is.....6 weeks delay for all 911 ordered with the glass sunroof.... The reason is still unclear, but it looks more like a "technical problem" (not confirmed statement)..... again lousy 6 weeks hmmmm on all alu glass relatated orders .....

Not sure what the alum trim has to do with the glass s/r, but I picked a 991 with a glass s/r in Z on 20 June and the s/r works perfectly. Love it! I suspect the delay is due to a material/mechanism shortage rather than a tech prob. Anyway, here's a shot of the car taken at a Medieval town on the Swiss/French border a few days ago...

Sorry TSpyder, you're right.....my mistake, i interpreted the thread with the "alum trim" the wrong way...

There are some picture showing the aluminum trim at the below link.

for a street car i like the trim, i also think it looked great on the 997 targa.

when parked next to an Aston Martin i think the trim makes the Aston owner want to see his local porsche dealer the next day
