Congrats on Chalk! Mine came in last week and I LOVE It also ;-)

Do you have photo's of how the "r" stripe kit was modified given the .2 air intakes? I'm considering R stripes in "ghost" to match my porsche side scripts or possibly Yellow, or a custom version of the new gt2 RS stripe in ghost....

Like the ghost route as well! I didn't add the rear stripes as the air scoop intakes blend really well and it looks very natural.

Car looks really good. Like the white side decals. How about just doing the roof in satin black??

Or- lay black Vinyl R stripes with white over it just exposing the sides.

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.
Congrats!

I found our experience with Sunset to be much the same; I learned things from RL and called my Ambassador to make the changes. We also used Highline on the Cayenne and M3 and their work is great, but I have found Paul at Attention to Detail to be superior with better pricing. He also takes care of the Ron Tonkin collection.

Will you have Eddie take care of the GT3 or dealer?

Beautiful car! I’m not usually a fan of stripes but your car looks amazing. Well done!

Great write up and enjoyed the story. Glad you liked the colour choice as its mine as well, and has def been a choice this time around that I haven't been so sure about.

But how do you pick a matched ghost colour stripe when the colour changes so much in different lights. ??

Great info and colour, health to enjoy !

I'd imagine the ghost colour too changes to match the light ?

Great write up. The R stripes work really well with the chalk. And they tie in great with the air ducts on engine cover. I think you should do the side stripes too.

Excellent write up, Mark! Thanks for posting.

The pairing of Chalk and the black stripes are an extremely elegant look.

Enjoy the car!

My Chalk GT3 just arrived today. I will take delivery later this week and I am curious about doing "ghost" stripes over the top. Has anyone put the white Ghost stripes either an R stripe or the single motorsport strip on their car yet?

Thanks,

Randall
