No bubbling around the dot matrix on passenger/driver side windows. Rear window down towards the rear deck isnt the cleanest of adhesion (as you can see in the photos) but should clean up as the moisture dissipates. (Sorry in advance for the crappy photos)


^^ Side window(s) nice and clean.


^^ Rear window towards the lower deck.

I have been purposely not looking at this area of my car's tinted windows because I honestly just don't want to know. It would be like the first time you find a scratch on your new car and can't get it out of your head.

Just pry tool to lift. The lower piece, the one that looks like a U, lift the rear next to the console, then pull towards the rear of the vehicle.

Sorry for the bad pics, it had just finished raining... but I blacked out the emblems today and I really like how it came out. Such a subtle mod but it makes a difference, at least to me, especially with my wheels being black.

Spacers! 15mm front 10mm rear. I decided to ceramic coat the wheels since I was gonna have them off. Also did the calipers.

I actually thought about doing it and cutting around the screen but it seemed difficult. I didn't want to cut it before because of making sure all the lines ran together (OCD) to look like
one piece. And, I didn't want to try and cut it after installing it for fear of cutting or marring the finish. The thing I like most about it is that it fills in the gaps (OCD) that was in the original trim.
Looks awesome! I hate the piano black as well. XPEL sells a PPF for the center consol so I was going that route so I can do the top portion as well and still see the display. Did you just use a trim removal tool to pop them out?

Yes, I used the trim removal tool. Very easy, thanks Porsche. I saw that EXPEL PPF and considered it but I was worried about the liquid around all the buttons.

Consider the piano trim consumables. As the replacement pieces are relatively cheap.

​​​​​​That's awesome to hear. I want tint as well but the issue has been holding me back.

Do you know what tint type and brand was used?

Brand won't really matter here, but rather the quality/talent of the installer. The shop that did this tint did a very nice job. Having mind done next week from a shop i've never used but has a ton of positive reviews...fingers crossed it comes out like this. I always see exotics out front so would hope they do a decent job.
