It looks fantastic and like a future version of the Macan with all of the extra details you have added.
Two minor nits that pop out to me if you are looking to do more things.
1. The wheel center caps almost match but appear mismatched. With all of the black on the car, it may look better with the oem satin black center caps. I did that on my set of forged GT reps since the aftermarket caps didn't look/fit as good as OEM. I can post a photo if you want to see it, or go to post 424 here. I bought both the b/w and gold multi colored versions.
@BMinSFL thank you! kindly Funny enough I had that same thought about the black center caps and forgot to mention it when I was getting them painted. The are the same color as the wheel but I guess the lighting of that picture made them look a different shade. And agree about the tips but I have Remus exhaust and there is no adjustment.

Nice, my just be lighting of the different materials at that angle, I didn't notice it in other photos.
There's always an adjustment for exhaust but will likely involve a custom chop of a few inches somewhere along the line or new tips welded on.
Very interesting and tasteful upgrade and I love your choice of color for the wheels as that is close to what I want to do on my wife's Macan S to coordinate with the camel interior. I really like the subtle wheel arch extentions and may consider those painted white in the future , since my our side blade is color matched ( our preference ). Like so many have commented , you have made little changes that give your Macan a great look and frankly it looks factory, so kudos on a beautifully executed new look !
I Love the way this build turned out.
perhaps a TechArt Tailgate Spoiler will give it the Coupe appearance of the Turbo GT

Thank you guys. I had the same idea and held myself back from pulling the trigger because I'm concerned it may be too big. Too big could start looking a bit racer boy. Haven't discarded the idea though.

Thank you. Glad I changed from satin gunmetal to satin Neodyme. Gunmetal looked too much like black most of the time and I'm not a fan of white cars with black wheels. The pic below is my car half way through the process. There are many widebody kits for the Macan and Techart is the only one that is subtle and tasteful to my eye. The other ones are too big. The look great painted too (see Techart pic). Mine is the only one I've seen with them unpainted and I prefer the Dakar/Cross Turismo/Turbo GT look. The body of the Macan can look quite tall compared to that of the Cayenne Coupe and the black pieces along with the black roof shrink it down and make it appear lower, flatter and sportier.
Hi, what size wheels/offset did you go with? I bought the techArt kit and I am looking to order a custom forged concave set and can't figure out the best width/offset to go with without needing spacers. Do You have spacers on yours?
