Finally picked up my Taycan GTS this morning. Unfortunately only drove for a few mins as it was straight off to have the sideskirts/front/back bumpers glossed black (and then full PPF/ceramic after).

Having come from a 2020 4S and experiencing all the issues with the PCM it was one of the things I checked before leaving the car. There is a huge difference in the responsiveness which was very pleasing (it had the new coloured icons). GTS badges on the sideskirts. Metal pedals missing (being ordered). Contrast Crayon GTS stitching looks great and breaks up an all black interior. Overall very pleased.

Spec for reference http://www.porsche-code.com/PNV56K34

Will report back once I get the car back with updated pictures.

New updated pictures after having all the matte black parts painted gloss black along with full XPEL PPF.

First impressions are that there are many improvements over my 2020 4S. Love the GTS interior, much quieter (have insulated glass now), improved handling/acceleration and lastly the PCM now functions as you would expect - fast, no lag or crashing. Wireless CarPlay is launched before I’ve even started to drive.

Very slick! The Dolomite Silver and PPF really bring out the curves. Did you get ceramic coating done as well? Your gloss paint treatment is tempting me. What's the list of matt black pieces on the GTS you had done ... front spoiler/diffuser, rear diffuser, air intakes ...? Did you have that done by your XPEL installer and how much did they charge if you don't mind me asking.

FYI I've ordered the same Exclusive Design wheels but specced them painted to match the Dolomite Silver. Not seen that combination IRL or in photos so can't wait to see how it comes out.

Had all everything that was matte black done. splitter/diffuser, rear bumper, air intakes, headlight surround and side skirts. GTechniq ceramic coating inside and out on top. £5k all in - the vast majority of which was for the PPF.

Looks fantastic, who did the ppf and ceramic for you?
I've got a long wait for a CT4S in Dolomite silver.

So you had the ceramic coating done on all the inside hard surfaces (I assume not the race-tex) and on the panoramic roof? And did your full PPF treatment include all the glass including windshield, headlamps and pano roof? I hope you don't mind me peppering you with questions, but I'm planning on visiting my dealer recommended XPEL installer in the next week or so and these are all the options I'm considering.

IMHO £5K all-in including painting the plastic bits and CC for the inside too, is a very good price in London, compared to the $8K I'm being quoted in Houston for full PPF/CC without any work inside and excluding any painting!

Thanks again for taking the time to share your insights and experience!

All painted surfaces were covered with PPF - this includes the previously matte black parts. This was then ceramic coated with GTechniq Halo. Glass with GTechniq G1. RaceTex with GTechniq I1. Leather with GTechniq L1. Wheels with GTechniq C5.

Thanks so much for the detailed info! Will be very handy for my discussion with my PPF/CC shop ...
