Gorgeous build and tasteful mods!


In hindsight, would you have nixed the piano black trim for something different?

Nope. I think the Piano Blk is one of the most elegant finishes that ties the look together perfectly in the interior.

The trim, and it's high gloss finish, pairs beautifully with the gloss blk exterior touches as well.

I just find it bizarre how something could literally be a finger print magnet.

Yes- I keep a microfiber interior cloth in my center console.

I painted my 911 Fashion Gray back in 2016 before Porsche reintroduced it in a slightly different shade ... Chalk.
Mine is a 991 PTS (paint to sample) color, although it was originally a paint option on the Porsche 356 models from the 50's and 60's.
To my knowledge, it was never offered on a Porsche again as a color option (other than PTS) until about 2018.
It consistently gets "favorite car" comments at any P-Car show that I take it to.
I had the pleasure of driving the current M5 on the Autobahn and it was surreal how safe it felt at 170 mph ... awesome vehicle and great color choice. Enjoy in good health!

It’s crazy how many comments I get on my Fashion Gray B7. But even better is how clean it always looks. Truly the best color.

The 911 is 🔥.

I was sure that FG wouldn't have been a color most would think to comment on. To the untrained eye, it's just another "Grey"

But you were absolutely spot on! I get WAY more commentary, thumbs up, and people admiring the Fashion Grey. I LOVE the feeling!

What color interior did you end up pairing it with on your B7?

Man cave WIN. Awesome. Never expected Yellow/Gold to pair so nicely with FG paint. I ordered a new plate for my car that is white, and after seeing the yellow and the FG in pics- i'm starting to second guess it.

Beautiful build man, nicely executed! Curious, @BRCHP why do you cringe when you see other grey cars? Thought that was an odd comment.

Stunning car and color combo. I've always been a fan of the G30/F90 platform. They're just such a huge jump from the previous gen IMO. Big congrats, I personally don't think this car needs anything else at all!

I should rephrase that one.

What makes me upset, is knowing that enthusiasts like us, pay a premium for a color option that is not offered to everyone else, yet alone as one of the standard color choices. And then you drive down the road and every standard Kia Stinger, or Jeep grand cherokee is sporting the same shade.

When paying 5k for exterior paint, I don't want to see it every 30 minutes lol

I gotcha. Don't let it get to you though. Every time I get a little irritated seeing what you mentioned, I take another glance and appreciate how poorly executed the entire theme acutally is. There's chrome or silver bits all over the car still, and silver wheels. No cf roof. It's grey not done right.
