Thus, I’ve stuck with the Xenons for my ‘25 718. They are still an upgrade from the base 718 Xenons and really quite good.
I love aventurine. You scared me a bit, I have looked at it, but my current build is vanadium.
I’m still on the fence with LED vs. Bi-xenon. It will be the last hour and I will decide on stereo, inner door sills and lights. 😝

The Vanadium will look killer with a black top. Did you change it from Aventurine or did I just initially mistake your build? Can’t help you on the Burm. It is expensive. I’m probably going against the common wisdom in my preference for the PDLS (not base) Xenons.

Thought you guys may appreciate this. Here's my new 992.2 in Vanadium Grey. I think it's the first one I've seen.

Goes without saying I am absolutely over the moon with how this is already looking. Spec has sport design package (gloss black, no spoiler) and classic 911 wheels.

I love the aventurine, but have never had it in a build. I have decided that not going with the Burmester as many have said that in the Boxster, won’t realize the value of the stereo.

Thanks for sharing. I love it! My CGTS in Vanadium just hit the change freeze point today, production begins at the end of August.

Wow, that's the first time I've seen the color look so decidedly blue in indoor light. I thought Vanadium looked gray until it was reflecting the blue sky.

It definitely has subtle blue undertones.

Very nice @JohsonChou ! Love the stealth wrap too, a little tough to tell, is it across the entire hood including the CF?

What about the mirrors and intakes, both engine and brakes?

I did clear on the carbon. Stealth on the painted surfaces.

Just switched out the side lenses to clear ones. Looks much better with Vanadium.

Finally got the chance to see a Vanadium RS in person this weekend. It's a beautiful color, but is unequivocally blue rather than gray to my eyes. Porsche really should have called the color Vanadium Blue.

Here are a few indoor photos, with two of them showing the contrast to an Aventurine Green paint sample. Both colors seem to be similar in intensity, while differing in hue.

Aventurine Green, Vanadium Grey and Agate Grey all seem to have a similar base. With Aventurine being green tinged, Vanadium being blue tinged and Agate being just grey.
