Thanks for that. It's odd and silly that you can get Lava Orange contrast stitching on any 718 variant bar GT4 and Spyder. I wouldn't be on the fence whatsoever with Lava as that is what I wanted to spec since day one! Need to flip a coin as I'm down to the wire on my build locking....

Thanks again for posting this,

I'm wondering if the shark blue would look nice under matte/satin PPF. But I can't find any pictures/videos online at this moment.

What do you guys think?

Search Instagram #sharkblue. A woman took delivery of one in the UK with matte PPF. It's not for me.

I think it would look great, nice change up and after a couple of years or if you get tired of the effect you simply remove it.

Matte isn't my thing either. I much prefer gloss for bright colours.

At least it's reversible like Westcoast mentioned. If you were already going to pay for full PPF anyways and you like matte, I'd totally go for it.

I'm afraid I'd get tired of it a couple of hours after leaving the installer. Obviously an individual thing.
