Thanks Mark! Yes, it's definitely my decision 100%. Yet, the input is so nice to have. It gives me ideas to consider and while some may work well others just aren't my taste.
I plan to visit a few dealerships to hopefully see the gloss black trim on the window and mirrors, as well as the wheels. I know I want to contrast those a little but I'm not 100% sure I'm going to love that gloss black. I have 10 days to finalize my build. Thanks again!

Here’s mine with gloss black mirror trim. I think it would look really good on your build. I like the idea of the gloss black mirror base on a white car. I considered it on my Chalk build, but opted for full body colored mirrors.

I added side skirts and exterior paint to match.
Added quad exhaust pipes.
Changed the window trim to black gloss.
Added black gloss to the wheels.
Changed the mirror base to black gloss.
Changed 911 logo to black gloss.
Already thinking about changing tailpipes to black?
NOT SURE OF black gloss or satin black on wheels. Is the trim already black and I should just leave it as well as the base of the mirrors. Is black gloss too much? HELP!
And I'm still open to feedback.

If you’re doing painted mirrors and sideskirts, PPF needs to be part of your plan. Porsche likes to put black plastic in harms way when it comes to chip prone areas.

You really have to see the gloss black in person - especially since you said you found a few things too masculine. I haven't seen it in your color (as a matter of fact, I'm now reconsidering my exterior color after looking at your car- I haven't seen IGM on anything in person yet)- but I found the black gloss pretty masculine on a friend's GT silver 992. It all depends upon the look that you like. There are no wrong choices on cars this beautiful ;-)

Did you mean to say that's gloss black on your window trim?

The combination of mirror trim, window trim, and rear badging in high gloss black looks good. However, I do not like the PORSCHE rear lettering in high gloss black because the lettering disappears in the black strip it's mounted on, so I leave that as the standard color.

Yes, I totally agree. I did leave the 'Porsche' and I was going gloss black with the '911' but now I plan to leave the '911' as well (maybe lol). ...so that they match. Thanks, appreciate your input!

My opinion, If you are doing your mirror trim in gloss black and your rear 911 emblem in gloss black then I would also keep your window trim in the gloss rather than the standard black which is matte, Its a very small detail but it would be noticeably different from the gloss on your mirrors. Not a bunch of $$$ either. The 911 emblem definitely stands out more in the gloss black, the standard silver on IGM almost gets lost....and yes leave the "Porsche" in the standard silver. Re-look at the pics of my rear end for reference.
