My last T was GT silver so I want something different this time. Though it does look beautiful on the 992.

P.S. I have about 10 days to decide! Help!
Same here. My last T was GT Silver and I wanted something different this time...but went with GT Silver again. Oh well... Go with IGM, just saw one at my local dealer, its stunning. I am sure you"ll be happy either way.

IMO IGM is much better than Chalk, but you should see it for yourself.
flat pics don’t give it justice


Stunning!!!!

That plate has been on two Bentleys prior to the RR. Can’t find a record of a sale so I’m guessing the Bentley owner simply bought a car to match the plate😄

I like chalk but there are tons of little chalk KIAs running around along with the other auto makers pumping out that color. I could see a trend in people ditching chalk because they’re just tired of seeing it. Your mileage may vary.

Ok, you guys convinced me. Changing my build (for the 4th time) to IGM!

I think the agate grey accents will pop more on the IGM as well.

Just clean your car regularly as you should.

Yes but you forget that when I open it, my car stops quicker than with PCCB.

I will make it easier for you. Chalk is great on a Turbo S. But you didn’t order a Turbo S. Chalk has less depth or lawyers. It’s chalk. It’s beautiful. But IGM is stunning because it has so much more to offer. It will change colors depending on the light. So it’s more alive. Therefore IGM will make you appreciate it more longer.

And on top of all that, Kia doesn't charge $3000+ to paint your car in Chalk or Arctic Grey or other trendycolors.

That looks awesome. However, I saw the part has pins on the back. Did you drill holes in order to put the logo on? I'd want something that would be adhesive as are modern nameplates/logos, i.e., no drilling.

I actually had no idea this was its intended use... I thought it was just a random storage door pocket

Looks great, @rokkerkory !

I like the strategic positioning in an empty part of the car park

I feel like a bit of a fraud😉 Having skipped my allocation I’ve just traded my 991.2T in for a chalk 991.2 GT3😳

Always wanted a GT3 and it was the same price as the 992T I had built. I blame Chris Harris as he prefers the 991.2 GT3 which led me down a hole on YouTube watching everything I could find…

Still love the T and delighted for you all getting your cars. I could well have made a mistake but time will tell…
