Looks great. The Blue with cognac is my favorite classy look for the Panamera. Not super common. It was on my option list and I don't like brown interiors and wood typically.
Paint looks to be in good shape. Get clear bra and ceramic. Keep it that way.
You already have the best wheels on order = Turbo II. I'd get some matching brown weather mats myself just because the carpets just don't last, even if its only under your feet. You really don't need much aftermarket on these cars because they come so....complete.
If you wanted to get interesting you could do brown carbon fiber di noc 3m wrap on the interior trim. I wanted to do that if I ended up in a brown interior. I just thought that might be different and the di noc looks really good. I put carbon fiber di noc on my exterior black trim low around the bumpers. I posted some pictures of it on this site if you search.
As far as performance upgrades there are a few, but you're not going to get a ton more power out of it easily without being a turbo. Its going to have some pretty good get up anyway as is compared to most cars. I myself don't like loud exhaust on a luxury sports sedan, but that up to you!
great suggestions! I’m going to order some of those mats today... I’ve had some difficulty finding a wrap installer who will work on interior trim locally - I think the brown carbon fiber would look excellent.
My Turbo II wheels arrive today, so I’m anxious to get them installed. The wheels and some window tint will go a long way!
does anyone have any suggestions on a quick way to sell my existing wheels and tires? The tires have less than 200 miles on them and the wheels are in perfect shape...
Turbo II wheels are off to the repair shop to have some minor curb rash repaired - should have them on the car by tomorrow! Very excited to see the car with these amazing wheels.
have any of you ever had any difficulty with matching the metallic grey paint on the turbo ii wheels?
Please let us know how this installation goes - thanks!
I picked up my Panamera today after having the Joyeauto CarPlay kit installed. All told, the installer took about 4 hours to get the kit completely installed - that includes the time taken to install a new microphone and the second USB input for CarPlay access. I highly recommend that if you choose to install this kit, that you make sure your installer places the microphone in the center / front headliner area near the dome light. I’m getting incredible voice reception due to placing the microphone there. The kit’s instructions place the microphone at the top of the A-pillar - not a great location due to noise.
at any rate, I highly recommend the Joyeauto kit - the installer was very impressed with it and this wasn’t his first rodeo installing aftermarket CarPlay in PCM 3.1 equipped Porsches. He said it was easily the highest quality kit he’s seen. Functionality is flawless and the upgrades to the PCM system’s screen for various touch motions works perfectly. The system can be controlled by touch or by using the selector ****. The system is also completely up to date and is fully IOS 13 enabled.
please feel free to ask any questions - I’m happy to answer anything I can and will happily refer any questions I can’t answer to the installer: Bonnie & Clydes in Dallas, TX.
