Default 991 - Chrome Around Windows

Does anyone know the package which gives you chrome around the windows on the new 991?

I am on the fence as to whether it looks good or not, however, I have not been able to figure out what package adds this.

It's an option under the "Exterior" tab called "Window trim in high-gloss aluminum."
Price is $395. Not part of any package, AFAIK.
Perhaps there's a "Buick Package" coming for the 991s? It could be a part of that...

I'm not sold on it either. I just thought it looked a little vintage with the dark blue exterior on the Porsche 991 video.

Is the exterior wood grain package on the fenders, doors, and quarter panels a little too much as well? It's supposedly 30% real wood and 70% real vinyl stickers.

Please god, no, don't do it.... I hear the new Vette comes with a free gold chain. Might be the way to go. Just kidding.

I just tried to use the new Porsche website to configure a new 2012 911S that matches my 2009 9111S that had a 100K price tag.

I'm at 115K now and not sure I've got everything matching... For one thing there is no sunroof built into the car... It's an additional $1500. if you want one.
Hard to believe its an additional 15K base price with possibly less standard equipment.

I'd better buy two cars next time to beat the price increases....

No worse than the "aluma look" crap people pile on the inside of the car currently.

The 991 S released at the Frankfurt auto show seems to have the bright trim work around the windows. It's a different look.

I am really liking everything about the looks of the 991...except...the 20" wheels.
They look kinda Escalade-ish to me. Plus, they make the rotors look small.
Still wouldn't kick one out of the garage, though.
