The car look awesome, but then again I am a bit biased!

I like the tint and may add some to the side windows on mine, it is illegal here so they won't be as dark as yours, subtle has to be the approach around here.

Today is a club drive, nothing crazy but some nice back roads, I hope to get mine up to 1100km and the next 500rpm increase on the table!

Here are a few pics from the weekend. A couple from the detail shop, one out to dinner and one (in my garage that needs to be cleaned up) with the rear badge I added.
What a great spec! Especially love the look of the LED's with Chalk. What trim did you select for your interior?

I went with the full leather/red stitching, carbon fiber trim, red seat belts, red chrono face and carbon illuminated door sills. I couldn't be any happier with the way it turned out. These are the only pics I have of the interior. I'll have to get some good ones soon and post them.

Can anyone shed light on what are the standard tires on a 718 Spyder?

In 2020 it was Dunlop Maxx Race 2 or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2... for 2021 you have the option to chose a less aggressive HP tire, manufacturer and model unknown, possibly Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or Pirelli P-Zero...

So guys what are your impressions about Chalk after couple of months with your cars? I’m considering Chalk for a Boxster GTS 4.0 with platinum wheels, black calipers, and GTS interior package (CF trim, chalk belts, chalk tach, and extended chalk stitching). Does the grayness pop in most lighting conditions or does it often fade into white? I guess I need convincing that chalk is worth the premium over white, CWM, or GT Silver — I put chalk somewhere between white and silver on the spectrum. Both the whites and GT Silver would work with the same interior, wheel, caliper combo:

That would be great, thx! That combo will look outstanding. I’m shooting for European Delivery in Spring so plenty of time left to decide.

I saw this YouTube video with a chalk GT4 with aurum wheels:
. I personally like the black wheels. I have a Spyder on order for early summer Euro delivery Covid willing. I pretty sure I’m doing chalk with black rims.

Chalk/Aurum looks stunning on that YT video. Thx! Chalk may be the exterior that matches the Aurum wheels the best.
