Congrats! After finally seeing chalk in person the other day, it's hands down my new favorite color. Really an amazing chameleon color that has to be seen in person to fully appreciate.

Looks great! They are definitely R stripes but that doesn't mean they don't look great on other cars!

My new gt3 came with some stains and scratches on the front lip or maybe happened form it's first wash... What is the best and easiest way to clean that plastic piece?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! As ever, appreciate this great community.
Here are 2 more pics. Same camera- one under my garage shop lights and one late afternoon partial cloudy. Interesting color for sure!

Cheers, Mark

Sunset it was. TBH I'm trying to determine if they could have been more knowledgeable and proactive with things. I always felt it was me finding things out (usually from this community) and always reaching out/suggesting options to them. Nice folks for sure and very responsive to any questions, just perhaps all dealers are stuck in the P NA/AG smoke-screen process perhaps...

I used Highline Customs in Beaverton for PPF and tint. http://highlinecustoms.com. 100% recommend them. I shopped around and 'interviewed' a few places and these guys were hands down ahead. PM me anytime if you'd like to take a look.

Not sure on plastic. Start with a mild correction creme and go up from there perhaps. For that matter, try the dealer to replace it. The front lip is only about $130 I believe.

The stripes look really good on that car and color combo. Well done, well done

Congrats! Looks fantastic! Chalk is like many other light to medium greys, changing with ambient lighting, etc. My fashion grey GT3 does that too.

Really nice car Mark. I live in Oregon and these cars still work in the rain.
