Thanks. I will no more when I see it I good light. I got it to hide break dust and because I wanted to try a bit darker wheel to break up the light silver which was a bit monochrome. - like black wheels on a white car. They should be lighter than the agate grey - do you want a non-metal look that is lighter than the body color. I will post better pictures. I hope that will help.

What is your build?

Completely factory - it is on my build sheet (previously posted), but you have to know what you are looking for. My Dealer is Jack Daniels in Upper Saddle River New Jersey and my salesman, who actually suggested it and put me in touch with the woman who made it happen, is Tom DePascal - a great guy, ex cop, and big wig in the local PCA.
He got me in touch with Melissa Witek who is a Customer Consultation Specialist for Porsche Cars North America, Inc. She was great as well and made it all happen - I am sure that there are others like her that are responsible for other parts of the country - but Tom would be happy to work with you.
At least now, if your dealer says it can not be done - you have proof that it can.
It added about $1,600 USD to the cost and delayed things by 3 days. If you go to your dealer someplace they have a wall of paint samples and leathers and you can get your car in any (and possibly all) of them. But be careful, some can extend build times by quite a lot - mine used the standard black interior as the contrast color and the standard red. There are a number of reds, for example, you could get the inside in Gaurds red to match the exterior. Make sure you ask about the impact on delivery. From other threads, contrasting stitching also seems to be a real buzz kill to the delivery date.
Just tell everyone you saw it here first!

Dealer told me, no go on the 2 tone red... I'm definitely going to be using the info here to get what I want.
Thanks for the info, you're the man!!
(still feeling like a newbie?
)Cheers!

My ship is outside the Houston port and hopefully should dock by tomorrow. We'll see when the delivery is.

Thanks. It was your build string that got me started with this BB, and my first mod - the clear side blinkers which will be installed tomorrow. Thank you again!
