How far would porsche go with exclusive options?

Say I wanted my rear wing or mirrors painted a diff color, would the do it? Has anyone done this and if so, how much?

Thanks in advance.

ya, they will most likely use a body shop and for the wing the paint could go anywhere from 400-500 for a stock wing and maybe 900 for a gt2 or more complex wing...the mirrors are probably going to cost around 200 to get done...


I am TRYING to give you larger amounts than you will find...but...paintwork is quite variable depending on paints used and resprays and all the other crap that can go wrong...

Thanks man. So I'm guessing something around 1K CND? 1K sounds very reasonable!

Has anyone ever done this before? Any other opinions on price?

I'm sure the dealership would do anything you ask of them, as long as you are willing to pay. I'd just ask them directly what the cost would be, rather than trying to guesstimate.

Save your coins, we can do just about all of this post-delivery, for far less than Exclusive.

Only good thing about doing it through exclusive is that it si on your window sticker and thus part of MSRP...Helps for resale IMO
