Just go to the high end mall in your area and you'll see every other Porsche model on the planet in Chalk.

Probably go chalk trim now though. Thanks.

Perhaps like the one I put in my Spyder? Actually, from the GT3.

It may be fall but that doesn't mean the driving stops, the UHP All-Seasons are on, and she feels at home chasing the leaves!

That link to Suncoast is the correct one, although you should be able to order the part through your local dealer. Part numbers are in the thread I link to below, post #43; I ordered it from my local dealer.

As for the boot, you don't use the boot that comes with the GT3 shifter, you reuse the original boot in your 718, see this post:

GT4 Yellow manual shift **** same as GT3? - Page 4 - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums

Perhaps slightly off topic, but for those of you that are also guitar fans, it may be if interest. Fender guitars has their custom shop which offers the equivalent of PTS for custom order guitars. I present to you the first Chalk Fender Stratocaster:

Damn that is just too sexy. I'm happy that I don't know whether I like yours or mine better.

Chalk forms such a clean background for the accent colours, for the wheels Satin Platinum compliments the grey tones with a splash of yellow to tie back to the interior, Aurum brings a touch of colour and is allowed to stand on its own with black calipers while still staying very classy. These types of combinations get a lot of looks and compliments from both the enthusiast crowd and the casual passerby.

It just looks amazing from every single direction. I can't decide between this and GB - I think GB is an amazing color, looks super expensive, but dark colors kinda hide the shape of the Spyder in my opinion
