My build is a blacked-out CT4. I don’t mind the stock black matte arches but it would be nice if they were an optional delete or could be specced to black gloss (I’m not waiting for the Sport Turismo to appear ?). Any idea if it is currently possible to purchase as parts and retrofit the gloss black arch trims found on the higher models?

I have a thread on this and a few others have talked about it too. Not an optional delete. Its true (I believe) that you could basically order 'replacement' wheel arches for a Taycan Turbo S, the painted gloss black versions, and retrofit to your car but TBH this is probably a way more expensive option than simply getting yours professionally painted as I intend to do for my Volcano Grey build - attach a render I made (crude) of what I want my CT4S to look like after a few mods :). I have not priced out what a replacement set would cost which would be interesting to find out as perhaps this is still a workable solution for a black car - I would need to paint regardless to match my body color..

I just shot a message off to Suncoast to see what they think on feasibility and cost for the gloss black parts and retrofit. Shall report back. Interested to hear what you find for cost of painting the trim.
