What did you do with your 718 this week?

J-Dub · #381

@71eh Curious to know how close the dial mode knob and dummy key are to the Carmine red that is commonly used in 718 GTS interiors. They appear to match each other very well.

Hey J-Dub - I made a little picture comparison. I would say they match Guards Red interior accents much closer. My incoming 718 has Guards red Seat belts and Gauges. I had a Macan GTS that had some Carmine red, and it's a little darker/richer than the guards red accents. I had my Alcantara floor mats match the guards red the best I could... (Picture below).

I would say that if you have Carmine Red stitching and nothing else, then it would be hard to tell. But if you have other things that are Carmine Red, then you will def notice the color difference.

I believe Tom can custom paint a knob that matches Carmine Red.

Congrats, you’re almost there. I’d also highly recommend a nice pair of clear side markers, and a set of radiator grill screens. She’s going to be epic!

Ha thanks! RGS grill screens are currently on the way

Still have yet to get some clear side markers... Was hoping I could get the dealership to throw some in, but I kinda doubt it.

Where is the best place to order them online? Or should I just order them from my Dealer? (I'm in Canada).

I'd ask your dealer - sometimes they'll throw them in for free.

My Dealer ( Porsche of Omaha ) threw in my side marker lights, though I may have had a little pull since the Salesman was my son Ryan, ha!

I have not installed my Zunsport Grill Guards , but I put the RGS side grill screens on my Christmas list and since I did not get them for my Birthday this month, I am hoping to see them in a few days. If you only ordered the front grills I highly suggest getting the side covers because I was shocked to find more leaves there than in the front ones while driving around this Fall.

This week, I installed Brembo ceramic brake pads, which I bought for an amazing (to me) low price of $118 for all 4 wheels, from Newparts.com. I hope for much less visible brake dust, and I understand the ceramics also are more enviro-friendly.

My dealer wouldn't throw them in, so I purchased them from Suncoast. Now I have 2 sets of the orange side markers.

Not sure what dealer pricing is but maybe they would offer reduced price if they don't offer them for free? So far, mine have always been gratis.

I wish someone would make a set for current-gen Cayennes. Porsche doesn't and no aftermarket source that I can find does so either.

I must be odd, but I like the orange ones.
