Is there an aftermarket rear blade option? Love that about the SD rear.

Thanks. Me too! I added some goodies that should make it stand apart while not opting for any of the electronic stuff. We shall see. My current dilemma is trying to subtly tie the exterior to the interior lizard. Thinking it’s going to be lizard center caps.

Not my car, and you should do what you want of course, but I don’t think that’s a great idea. And I don’t think the exterior needs to tie to the interior. You have a monochromatic exterior and then when you get in the car, you have the green pop. To me, that works.

Subtle might be best, but maybe just paint the brake calipers gloss black (I hate the flat black anyway) and put the Porsche logo on them in Lizard Green.

Or maybe less than subtle, paint the brake calipers in Lizard green...

I was also thinking about adding some subtle details on the outside (Black) to match with the full T interior with Lizard Green stitching.
Porsche logo's in Lizard Green on the brake calipers sounds like a great idea!
Does anyone have experience with coloured stickers?
https://www.brakecaliperdecals.co.uk...ecals-Stickers (not the right green...)
or
https://supercargraphics.com/porsche...cals-any-color (Lime Green?)
Not sure this will be a long-term solution...

Apple Green might be closest: https://www.rennbow.org/porsche-colors/AppleGreen

I don’t think it has to be exact match as long as it’s close. Apple and lime green are both very close and the brake caliper sticker is a cheap and easy way to accomplish it. I know I don’t have to do it but I want to do it. I want to be able to easily reverse it also. Was also thinking of a thin greeen pin stripe around the Motorsports stripe that they used to do with the GT2 I believe, only it was red. Like this only green. Here’s a center cap from HRE in green that matches.

Was playing around with the editing on my phone.
I don’t think I would paint the calipers only because it’s such a job and not easily reversed.


This would not be subtle but it would be easily reversed. 🤣

Double check that they’re titanium grey.
Did these come in, and more importantly do they fit?

The T makes such wonderful noises guys. The lightweight glass and less sound deadening really helps. I can hear turbos spool easily. 💪

Me either and I fail to see the necessity to tie the interior to the exterior unless you're in a 'vert.

I’ll confirm when I (eventually!!!) collect my car.
Hopefully that will be later this week?!

same boat (pun intended), my timeline to US dock delayed by 2 weeks, so guessing delivery will also be later by similar, once someone reboots the Stuttgart commodore64
