Slate grey will stay clean looking vs black. I would vote for black accents.

Option 1 - Turbonite accents



Option 2 - Black accents (window, roof rails)


Option 3 - Turbonite Accents with Side Blade



Option 4 - Jet Black Metallic with Turbonite Accents



Option 4

I wouldn’t pick any of these so our tastes must differ a ton.

Not sure I like slate grey on Macan. I need to see it in the flesh, fortunately, this color was not available for me, so no headache ;-)

As you asked,my thoughts FWIW:

The window trim color does not match your wheel on some of your options (I would go with black window trim on all your plans for turbonite and neodyme are too close dark-to-light spectrum together, that they do not look good as a pair;

The other-than-body-colored side blades shorten the vehicle’s length (loses some of its “visual flow”), and also make it “too visually busy” to me.


If my car, I would go with your option # 4, though substituting the gloss black window trim surround. Or, go with option #2 as is.

I would go all black. Fell like those dull gray colors are a fad that’s come and gone. Black will always be stylish and look great. If you really want gray, go for the darker volcano gray.

I would not mix Neodyme with Turbonite.

Going Neodyme/black or all Turbonite will be your best choice regardless of car color.

I would go with either Option 1 or Option 2. I also second those who said grey over black. I have a Jet Black Macan Turbo now and it's only clean for the 2 hours after I wash it haha. Its not a color you really get to enjoy unless you intend to wash it weekly. I suspect the grey will have a lot of depth which you also don't get with the black. The neodyme vs turbonite is really a matter of opinion. Carbon fiber doesn't perfectly match any of the metals either but it still looks fantastic as an accent.

No matter the choice - definitely repost when you're done putting your order in. And congratulations!

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I really wanted to finally try neodyme, but I think I'm chickening out. The 992.2 GTS press car in Slate Neo looked great - so I'm going to try and replicate that (and I've seen it in person, so the practical me figures it's the safe bet) . Although I agree with the comments about black ... it's just so hard to maintain (I've had many) that I'm over it. My wife has a Storm Bay Metallic BMW (which looks quite similar to Slate Grey Neo) and it has been very easy to maintain.

Never had Jet Black Metallic wheels before - so hopefully that pops.

Here's what I'm going to lock: https://configurator.porsche.com/porsche-code/PSADXBU5
