Default First post, 2018 Panamera Night Blue

Hey guys,

I picked this beauty up last month, its only a Panamera 4 but I couldn't resist the incredible deal, just 6k miles and was the dealer's loaner car. So technically I am the first owner and the car is pretty loaded, the interior is what sold me TBH, Chalk White and Black. Wanted to show you my first couple mods. The car had the chrome trim inside the handles and matte black window trim. I decided to get vinyl them both in gloss black to match the rest of the car (mirror housings and fender vents) Also, changed the Porsche emblem from chrome to gloss black, painted the side and rear reflectors body color, added tints and changed the tail lights to the smoked ones. Only other plans for the car is the Cargraphic lowering module and a set of 21" gloss black rims which I haven't figured out yet. Welcome your thoughts and feedback!

Congrats! The simple mods definitely give it a cleaner and stealthier look. I'm also in northern NJ area so might catch you out on the roads!

Congrats! I ordered the same interior on mine - still a few months away before it arrives though. Love to see more photos!

First time seeing that color, i like. Well done on the mods as it completes the car.

As for cargraphic module, why not order links instead?

Good reviews on lowering links? Just reading about the module, it seemed like a great option but TBH I have zero experience with air suspension. In all my previous cars I swapped for full coilovers.

I will let you know as I’m installing them Friday with mild spacers.

So I passed on links and lowering today. I’m just doing H&R 12mm spacers all around with the 21s for an aggressive, but conservative stance. Had to order black bolts and will install next week.

BTW, the internet is flooded with s hit Chinese lug bolts beware.

Car is perfect otherwise. This is a keeper.

Here's a close-up photo of my Sport Turismo, showing the paint (same color -- night blue)... It looks really nice in the sun, sparkles!

Couple interior shots for you, sorry it took so long and I know these aren't the best

Very nice! Hey I see your EZ Pass in the center compartment. Have you figured out where to put it? I held it up to a couple spots including where I thought I'd seen that it should be placed, but got toll by mail emails so it obviously didn't work. I've now stuck it on to a slightly different spot and am waiting to see if recent drives generate more emails This is with the thermally insulated and heated glass.
