You will not be disappointed! It looks great. They do get dirty fast with break dust so plan on getting them ceramic coated! That’s the only downside.

Already have a prosumer ceramic coating kit in my Amazon cart. Not that I'm jumping the gun or anything after getting my allocation last week...

Also, any interior pics?

I keep going back and forth on the painted trim. Currently have the regular aluminum trim in my config (have a few weeks before lock). Now that you've seen it person, thoughts? (I'm doing Gentian too, FYI).

I personally love it. It probably would show more fingerprints than aluminum. But it does look good.

I tried to visualize it on my actual car using a very sophisticated program called Paint

Yeah or Nay?

I like it. I’m going to add one like I have seen on the GT3 in silver

I have Gentian Blue trim and I love it! I'm so glad I switched to it. I've had my car for a year and 2 months now. I did Gentian exterior too.

Hey posted this on their shark blue thread - but think this colour combo would look better with GB - anyone Gone full Superman? GB - Classic interior and Aurum wheels! Don’t think I would have the “guts” to pull this off but fun to mess around…

I also went painted interior and thats one of my favorite features, the color changes do much with where the light hits.

There was a couple folks I know that did red with the gb, it's a bit of jekyll & hyde to me. I love the red interior, but I don't think it goes that well with the GB, as they are both strong colors. I also am not a huge fan of the SB, so what do I know lol. I prefer the depth and color abilities of the GB and how it changes colors in different settings. Heck, I've had it be blue and violet at the same time lol, it looks almost like Sapphire, but the colors shift quite a bit.

I came to the same conclusion and thus black leather interior. I think I’m going to do deviated stitching in speed blue with exterior color accents inside. I wish I could see an interior with deviated stitching in speed blue before finalizing the order.
