Hi all. New to the forum- had mine now for about 6 weeks coming out of a 2018 Cayman S. For the value, this car really holds its own and is superior in tech. I haven't missed the Porsche since I got this and totally thought I would. Super cool forum in here- thanks for sharing all your photos to give me the ideas for what I wanted!

Mods:
Tint
IND color matched front/rear reflectors
IND M340 black badge
IND gloss black hood/trunk roundel (last 2 photos)
xdrive debadge
Front lip/rear bumper/diffuser from eBay
AA Concepts CS4 spoiler

Edit- 7/3 eBay gloss black side skirts came in- (had to have the seller send a 2nd set due to 1st set being bent). Happy with how they came out (bottom photos only)
Gloss black eBay side skirts

Next up- debating smoked headlights (medium smoke). Then gonna put some spacers on the wheels

Thanks for posting a gloss black rear bumper/diffuser with CF spoiler. Got the same added to my Tanz blue order and was curious as to how it generally would look from the back and glad I made those choices. I didn't really like the grey piece they put on the back. Still debating on the black badge though...

I'm happy with the look . Still need to cut the plastic as most lower bumpers don't fit around the exhaust tips- it's stretched around it for now but touching around the outside. (I'm the only one who's ever notice but it's bothering me)

Well executed, and I rarely like the blacked out look anymore. This presentation looks the business. Don't forget front PPF and ceramic.

I've been debating the rear deflector delete. Got the IND for my front and it's great. In the rear I think I kind of like the reflector.

Thank you! Not yet- I'm already in perpetual fear of losing the lip… although I get a little less worried about it every day. Maybe if I can go another few months without scraping it up, I'd be brave enough to drop it

Thanks! The rear reflectors are supposed to get here in 2 more days- I've seen the videos and it looks like a pain to install- I'll post some after shots after I pop em and and let you know how long it takes 😂

Everything looks great except the idea of black roundels because that is not what the idea behind the roundel is about....

Ahhh-

Not doing the "all black" roundel- just going for gloss black hand painted on the outside chrome ring. It's super subtle but looks way better (IMO) when all the other accents are gloss black as well



Personally I'm not a fan of the all black roundels

Just did the rear reflectors- LOVE it, but also the installation is no joke (also need to make sure you have all the tools for it as lots of the screws are in some tight spots (had to jack my car up a few times as you gotta halfway remove the screws to pull the bumper back). Also sadly, I was so excited putting it back together I forgot to plug in the left taillight power, so will be taking apart the car again today. (Took 2.5 hours yesterday, but IMO totally worth it)

Yup- was this one-

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-For-BM....m46890.l49286

Only like $75. Fitment is great. I wanted a cheaper one first to see how much I scratch it up. Only scratched once in the first 2500 miles and not high enough to actually see it

It's gorgeous. Wish they kept Dravit as a standard color, it really is stunning on the g20. Only thing I would change are some baller silver wheels

Can still order and cost is the same. Weird how they did that. I was set on the Cerium grey wheels but went against my better judgement and go the black ones because I've never had black wheels before. They are a total pain to keep clean, but I do like how much they make the calipers stand out. I'd probably been just as happy either way
