Michael, I’m curious, are your windows tinted? If so, what is the spec? BTW, the new caps look great!
I agree on the B&W caps! And I have 30% tint all around and nothing on the windshield.

New 2021 Turbo S Carrera White. I now realize I prefer the matching white Mission E's... Anyone have any luck changing them from silver to white?

I swear we all want what we did not get from the factory! I had white wheels swapped them for GT silver and swapped out the multi colored centercaps for the black and white silver trim caps! But can definitely be done by a bodyshop without issue to have them match the body of the car.

Curious what didnt you like about the white wheels? by swapping did you trade wheels with someone? or just painted/wrapped?

In my case I always had issues keeping the wheels clean, on top of that personally white wheels remind me too much of a Honda Civic Si from 20 years ago, and as the paint would scratch (not curb rash just from rock chips) the touch up on the white wheels was too obvious.

I took the wheels to a local bodyshop and originally had them painted meteor grey metallic which is a Porsche darker silver—but could not get used to it the wheels always looked too dark so I had them redone in GT silver.

A few pics of meteor silver:

I use Collinite 476S on my vehicles wheels and they stay very clean. When they do get dirty it's MUCH easier to clean them. Soap and water is all it takes.

was that white electric badge an option from
Porsche? It’s not on the MY22 configurator. Wondering if I can have my dealer order for me.

thanks!

I certainly considered it. To your knowledge (or anyone reading this haha), is matching CWM paint easily achievable? Something I should have the dealer handle?
Yes there are shops that do emblem recoloring, and CWM is available to third parties. A dealership would just outsource it and add huge profit margin while removing your ability to interact directly with the people doing the work.
