I'd suggest satin black....it's stunning on nearly any finish.

What's the difference b/w satin and flat? Know of any pics of Guards Red on black?

We try not to do flat, as it's chalky and tends to wear down.

Satin has a slightly better protection, with a different clearcoat on it.

Full Gloss is standard finish on any painted exterior Porsche part. Consider the Satin halfway to flat....and a real stunning, nice and tasteful option.

Impossible to capture this with pictures.

Will do, T. I thought briefly about going badgeless. Very clean look, but I like the 'turbo' script, just not in flashy chrome.
So you DID find a new TT? Details??

Anyone has tips on where to buy a red Turbo badge? 997 style? I checked ebay but not finding anything. Just picked up a white 997TT.

Alex
