you can change things right up until you hit "production begins", code 150. CA won't care it's a quick process for them to alter it

Forgive me...all the remaining Black Gloss plastic parts ...please have them parts re-sprayed Black Matte, or Black Satin...you will / we will apppreciate that classy move... as black gloss comes

across as cheap & 'Made iin Chai Nah' plasticky not worthy of BMW...

PS: I had the plastic gloss front grills incl. sides all Black Matte sprayed...
The front lip & side skirts are in Satin Black...

Wrong forum man.

The M2 has body coloured skirts. The car in the OP is stock.

Yep that was it! From what I understand was only on the floor for one day

Amen to that, I have a personal distaste for P tires from a customer service fiasco years ago on my wife's car. Guess it's a good idea to wear them out that much more quickly

NotSharocks · 03-15-2024, 12:15 AM

Ayyy another manual SUV person!

I wonder if they can do Frozen colors, if they will eventually be able to do normal individual colors.

This car needs better color options lol

I had no idea you could get a Porsche SUV in a manual. Can you get a Turbo version with a Turbo too... ? Either way, my mind is blown. LOL

BroDoze · 03-15-2024, 06:41 AM

OP, I’m about to pull the trigger on a frozen blue one. Any idea if your insurance premium was increased because of the frozen paint, specifically? I’d imagine that is more costly/ challenging to find a shop that’ll do frozen, and I’d think it’s significantly more expensive to match etc.

Resoelg · 03-15-2024, 06:47 AM

Might be THE best color for our G87. (IMO)
Congrats.

Detailers Domain · 03-17-2024, 03:22 PM

congrats looks great!

NoTorqueSteer · 03-19-2024, 02:18 PM

Looks fabulous. The color really exemplifies the wide rear.

You can get the 958.1 cayenne with the 6 speed manual and the base 3.6 VR6 (VW engine) only up through 2014. They discontinued it on the 958.2

The first gen Cayenne 957 offered the GTS V8 with the 6 speed but not on the Turbo. There are only a couple hundred manual GTS in the country.

Some subtle modifications - CSL yellow DRL, 15/12 spacers, reflector removals, M center caps, and black M fender badges.

Are those Acexxon rear reflector inserts? They look really good. Do you have any pics of them from different angles?

Yeah these are the horizontal vent look Acexxon set. Only other pic I have is from the other side slightly more oblique.

Finished powder coating

Wheels look amazing! Finally a G87 mod I can get behind

Effen · 04-11-2024, 02:09 PM

The paint is incredible

Cefoskey · 04-11-2024, 08:28 PM

Added the IND painted center trim that should have come from the factory

The M2 looks much better this way. IND does the best & most flawless paintwork I've ever seen. Glad they've perfected the frozen colors now too. The front just doesn't look complete or finished without this...

BroDoze · 04-12-2024, 06:46 AM

Eh… to each his own. I kinda like the “bottomless” middle of the front. Especially with a lip.
