Does that look different from chrome in real life? How do they hold up.. do they stay shiny?

They are polished aluminum, not chrome. I have had polished wheels in the past, you could clear them, I don't like that. I plan on keeping them clean. They should last a long time, they may require a good clean and polish every fall but I like them.

and use google maps on your phone for nav. it gets updated for free all the time.

Don't want to add non Oem parts to radio
Would leave it as is before going aftermarket

I have no need for camera

I will be totally honest the nav is awful and you will never use it. I have it in my 991 and other than a slightly more high Rez screen the functions are the same for audio. Waste of money and time to add it and you get that ugly wart on your trunk.

And for my latest thrill....

...after the gt2RS came out, I remembered how much I love the red interior/gt silver exterior/carbon and light gold wheels look.. so I'm going to do my first not-easily reversible mod, and actually have the wheels painted the same light gold look as the GT2. I don't like the silver on silver look I have now, and I knew that I wouldn't be happy until I had some proper paint on them so... here goes. Should be ready by next week

I'm having the paint shop send me samples of the gold they have.. tough part I think will be them finding the matching color.. the Porsche GT2 version is SO subtle, and I want it just like that.
