If I can chime in here for a min - back to the original post - Does any shop handle a core exchange process similar to chroming OEM wheels.? Specifically,they bill you for 4 painted calipers, and credit you for the cores when you send them back. Leaving the car on blocks for a week would def get my wife flaming.

So..you, seem awfully proud (of lying) to your wife...
I suppose you painted your brakes for the same reason...but we won't judge you on that...

Oh AmyLynn, come right out and say it why don't you?
I agree completely. LOL
...but I don't suppose you ever 'modified' anything aesthetic? - I've never met a professional woman who didn't do some sort of upgrade to hair, nails, skin, other parts. LOL.

2 Funny!!! Moi??? 
This forum must be more than about cars.
Hmm...hair color?....you could equate that to a touch up paint on your front bumper. Nails?...maybe the same as a giving your car a nice wash and wax. Other body parts...hmm...I'm 100% standard, except for a a small piece of body art.......but I have the same tail, horn, and hood I've had when I came into this world. LOL.

The best 911 deal is buying the base model...Porsche makes all their money on "red calipers" and all the other little trappings of model differentiation. Do we really need a turbo? The 09 C4S I just took delivery of already scares me in the power department.
I will make an exception for the Cayenne GTS. I had an 'S' for 5 years and last year I moved to the GTS, and that car is something else. The base model Cayenne is totally underpowered, I drove it once as a loaner.

You sir, are completely mistaken, and if anything the cayenne GTS is the only vehicle that actually was designed because Porsche wasnt able to sell enough base cayennes, so they made the GTS to have the looks and feel of the Turbo without the costs or power.
Now If you are honestly taking a look, Porsche makes different models for different peoples wants/needs. For example, the GT2, GT3, track oriented, the Turbo, S model, and base Carrera, all good for daily driving, spirited diving, possible tracking, each one has its plus and minus, what your saying when referring to the loaner is pretty much what you would say had you driven a GT2, GT3 or a Turbo
