Default Factory Painted 'wheels' and 'rear view mirrors' on RS!

Does anyone know if Porsche Exclusive will paint my wheels lava orange, along with the mirrors? I asked my dealer but he says not likely. Still haven't gotten a response from Porsche though. Oh and I wanted the GT3RS decal in orange too!
Funny you would ask:

Wheels:

"The cost to do the custom RS wheels in Lava Orange is $4490 and the wheels need to be selected in Silver which is a normal option listed in the configurator at a cost o f $325. The reason for this is that they are done by hand after the car has completed the standard production. It normally adds about 10 days to the build process, but the finish is more than 1st class! Our team in the specialized Exclusive Manufaktur department handles this and they are the same group that takes care of all our VIP Porsche Exclusive builds!"

Mirrors:

"It was $1,295 for orange mirrors"

Both excepts from emails that have been sent to me by a current Porsche 991 gt3 customer. Prices quoted are in US$ for a US 991 gt3 RS custom order. Please re-check with you dealer and directly with 'Porsche Exclusive' in Germany. But it can be done.

Saludos,

PS It will be cheaper do do after delivery at a local paint shop...but then it's not factory original.

Not fully...'Ultraviolet' with PTS 'Signal Green' or 'Viper' wheels would also make for a very compelling & irresistible 'FedEx' 991 gt3 RS look!

Come on, Eduardo. FedEx Express colors are better for an RS than FedEx Ground!!!

One can easily see that FedEx Express is winning a race against FedEx Ground. Paint your RS the faster of the two:

You might be right, Mike!

I admit it does look pretty fine on this Toyota Camry...

Here's the GT3 RS Pink Pig courtesy of Top Gear, it looks awesome imo. Definately requires some courage - but I think it could probably pull of the 917 Hippie Car in Purple and Green as well.

That does look good! Would be cool if they had this as a PTS option.

Default Posche's position on 'Matte' is simply...Nein!

That shouldn't even have been a question on anyone's mind. Porsche (unlike say MB, BMW or Audi) doesn't yet offer a 'matte' or any other 'Frost/Frozen' line of paints on its models - neither as a current standard selection nor via PTS!

I don't know about that. It seems they have painted some 918's matte black.

Factory installed wrap over Primer as part of the Weissach Package to save weight vs paint.
