SportDesign Package, yes or no?

Is it too much in a white Cayenne?
I like the std black plastic trim / Black window trim in a white Cayenne , just considering something different.

Maybe the SportDesigh Package with aluminum roof rails and window trim for a more classy look?

I just place an order for a 12' Turbo to replace my "S", and I need to decide fast. The new white is absolutely my color of choice.

Any opinions / suggestions will be appreciated, Thanks!

White might not be my favorite color,however I think it looks good on both and gives them a more elegant look..go for it

The White can be a little plain and common. It lends itself to a little razzle dazzle. The Sport Design kit does exactly that. I think it will be a real stunner with or without the roof rails. If you go for rails, I would do them in Black.

Nice but that's a lot of white. Kind of "ghost" like or if you're into wearing a sheet...

Candy for your eyes...Looks fantastic, but I am too lazy to keep it clean and shiny.

I'm a C newbie (expecting to pick mine up in a few weeks) so don't flame me, but I think the Sport Design is waaay too much white. I prefer the look of the white in standard turbo trim.

The painted pieces look nice, but I would caution you that they will take a beating if you drive at all in the slop, thus the black plastic is more practical, probably why it's there in the first place (aside from the fact that Porsche gets to charge extra).

One thing that keeps me away from the std black plastics is that its very likely that the facelift Cayenne due in 2014 will get most of the black parts painted.
A Cayenne with the SD Pack will still look more fresh than the STD model.

Good point about the fresh.
A 4 year old GTS (with kit standard) looks more up to date than a 4 year old Cayenne S.
The GTS always catches my eye.

To each his/her own but I don't like the SD kit on the Cayenne.

i'm a bit biase when it comes to white and the SDK but i wouldn't buy any light color porsches with the rockers not painted. looks uncomplete and cheap for some reason. if you do go with white definetly get the black trim vs. the chome to give it a little contrast.

and is there ever too much white

Is it me or the SDK gives the impression of a lower ride height?
Do you remember the level setting of your AS when you took those pics?

I am almost sold out after seing your second pic, thanks!
If you have a few more, please share.
