While there, I also arranged to have it wrapped in XPEL Stealth PPF and have XPEL window tint added before I even see it for the first time. I can't wait!

Here is my build. Any comments/thoughts are welcome: Growler's BGTS Configuration
That's a great spec! It will look awesome. I haven't seen many on here who have chosen black, but my Macan S is black and it gets loads of looks and compliments. Hard to keep looking clean and shiny though.

Your spec is a lot like my CGTS order (delivery by April '22 hopefully - Carmine Red this time). I got PDK but I literally flipped a coin on that decision.

Of all the colors available, and I've looked at PTS colors, solid black is the one color that stirs my soul and makes my heart go pitter patter! My son was trying so hard to get me to select Shark Blue. While I think it is beautiful and stunning, it doesn't stir my soul like a blacked out car does. He thinks it's boring, but this is my car and I'm going with the color that makes my heart race when I look at it! The expresso/cognac interior is the icing on the cake - a beautiful contrast to the black!

Yes, That’s a great combo. I configured a black one as well with expresso leather and arum wheels - going for a JPS look. You might consider doing a ceramic coating to keep it looking great.

Congrats and looking forward to photos.

blacked out is kewl, did my Jeep all black. Porsche sports cars I think need those loud colors IMO.

I'll either do a ceramic or graphene coating. Graphene is still new, but is supposed to be the next greatest thing in paint protection. Need to do some more research, though.

Best of both worlds! Very nice setup on both! Every time I see a Shark Blue car like yours, I almost second guess my choice to go with black! That really is a stunning color.

Getting ready to leave the waiting room! A few pics from the dealer. Going to pick it up this week and take it for paint correction and PPF. Can’t wait to see it in person (and drive it )

just had my Spyder Modesto BC-05 ceramic coated last weekend. They coated the full body, wheels, calipers, leather and plastic. Was $2200 for everything at Hugh’s Detailing in Miami. Looks better then new for real. I would ceramic coat for sure.

@Unstock Looks amazing! You chose not to PPF? If so, might I ask why?

I did both, personally. It helps me sleep at night and frankly, lets me relax as I drive. (The PPF more so than the ceramic.)
