I took delivery on Feb. 29 and finally took a few pics after adding a few personal touches. Thus far the car has been a joy and as the miles go on it seems to be loosing up a bit (easier to shift, etc.).
Thanks. The Cayman S wheels are nice although the spokes are kinda wide but better than the stock ones IMO.
I had Eric at Bumper Plugs do the wheel center caps for me - outstanding quality. I debated doing them in Black but am glad I chose Red to match the car.
Eric also did the side vents and I did the exhaust surround piece myself since he did not recommend it due to heat issues; however, it is holding up fine.
Can't really tell the exhaust surround piece that you mentioned from your pictures. Are you talking about the U shaped Piece right about your exhaust tips?
Yeah, hard to see in the pic but if it were not painted it would stick out like a sore thumb - upside down U shaped piece that fits between the bumper and exhaust tip. It was a silver color, which clashed with the Red & Black.
That is what I like about these cars - one can personalize them and make them their own. Some like the Red gauges, some don't...same for the Cayman S wheels. Needless to say I like it just the way it is; however, if I had to order it again I would get the rollbar painted Guards Red. Options can add up pretty fast though and my car is pretty basic (sticker was just under $61k).
Yes, the options can add up pretty quickly. I really liked though that I could order specifically the ones I wanted and nothing else. When I tried searching for a car that had all the things I specifically wanted, the only ones that came close had a bunch of other stuff I didn't care about that drove the cost up a lot.
