Thank you, only wish I had found this post earlier. The Silver center lock caps (left side | $75 USD) pale in comparison to the Turbonite caps (right side | $40 USD) which cost less.

This is where I got them from. Just a note, it looks much more like the photo they showed. The other photo next to the silver makes it look like a true black around the turbonite badge, it's more like a dark dark satin grey than it is black as shown in the photo they used.

Digital photography may not represent what the eye sees, depending on the lighting and what is in the frame. Here are visuals with a color checker in ambient sunlight for reference.
The silver center cap has a more matt finish, and the Turbonite center cap is more eggshell with a subtle sheen to it; this makes it slightly more reflective. In images the Silver center cap reflects a lot of light making it contrast more strongly against the blackish plastic, than the Turbonite with an eggshell finish.

I actually installed mine today and put them side by side. I agree 100% certain light really changes the way these things look. Under directly light they actually look almost identical to my OEM ones.
Just ordered my turbonite hood emblem to almost fully monochrome my 992.2. Chalk with ED taillights, clear sidemarkers, Carrera Classic wheels with monochromatic crest. Need to figure out what to do with the rear reflectors and all red and amber will be gone visually

I wrapped my rear reflectors and 3rd brake light in vinyl to match the exterior color but you could get them painted if you cannot find a match. Or ask this place: https://www.colorxlabs.com/

A bit off topic but I like the no-red look, too. I used charcoal tint on the rear reflectors.
I used Satin Black on my 718 Spyder, after I used Lamin-x, which still allowed a little red to show through. The Satin Black eliminated the red totally.

yeah with the 992 without the aerokit having the reflector in the satin black area of the lower rear bumper, I'll probably go with some satin black vinyl wrap. Can probably just find some quality stuff from a nearby wrap shop since it doesn't need to be paint color matched
