Am I correct in that your car has the high gloss black window trim and mirror base? How do you like it, was it worth adding? I'm in the process of ordering an Arctic Grey 911 right now and have been debating adding both of those options.

I like it. I removed the Porsche sticker. I did not spec the car it was a "bonus allocation" or canceled. My SA called me and I grabbed it.

I just saw one in-person at Porsche Santa Clarita yesterday:




I previously owned a 992 Turbo S in PTS Nardo Gray and I can echo other comments that Arctic Gray is extremely similar, to the point I was rather annoyed at dropping $14k on a color that they essentially started offering for $3k a few months later.

Don't be. They're only close when arctic is grey grey. Nardo looks to me monochromatic and never gets to the blue/violet that arctic gets in certain lights. IMO.

I mean, I spent a decent amount of time looking at my own car and having seen Arctic Grey in-person, they're nearly indistinguishable to my eye. I think most people would certainly never be able to tell the difference unless they were looking at both colors side-by-side.

Arctic definitely has the blue/violet hue component to it, very unique color.

Right. Crazy how one's visual interpretation is so different from another's. That's what sold me on the Arctic. I see it as exactly Nardo in some lights, and almost blue in others. Couldn't say that about Nardo, where it's 100% grey 100% of the time. Looks blue to me here:

Default Chaulk is a great alternative

Looks great.

Why not the gloss black window trim?

Chalk kinda does this as well, but it's incredible how different this color looks in different lighting. Not a 911, but I saw a Cayman at Porsche San Diego in Arctic Grey and it looks completely different from this one. It's a really neat color.

Saw one yesterday while driving, and it looked stunning in person.
