I’m not handy enough to feel like I can do it myself lol! Let us know how it goes!
i've done a lot...and i've got damn near every tool one can think of.
appears to be nothing more than screws... the order is going to be the hard part.
I'll take plenty of pics when i get to it...

Can’t wait to see your ‘build’ photos and results @krissrock!

I suspect if it turns out as well as we all suspect, there’ll be a huge back order for the gloss black trim pieces. Having the smooth gloss trim opens up so many more possibilities (for non-turbo models) in terms of colour combos/wraps that can be applied versus the current textured pieces which you can’t really do anything with…

Having said that though, think I’ll have to sit on the side-lines for this as I have the off-road package. The Suncoast page states “…Fits 2025 or newer electric Macan models. Not compatible with Offroad Design Package” 😅

I would like to see how the colored fenders look...even in matching body color...But that would require a change in the rest of the panels, like the rear apron and the lower panels under the door...so may be someone with a turbo will try something out for us...

I know what you mean… it’s a literal rabbit-hole of additional parts to be changed…

Conceptually I’d also like to see what coloured fender arches would look like on the vehicle - but suspect it may also be a polarising love/hate thing.

Even just thinking about it, I’m not sure whether it would look ‘weird’ (off-putting?). But if the configurator has taught us anything (besides earning big bucks for Porsche), it’s that more options are always better and that Porsche is definitely unique in it’s ability to customise to the ‘masses’.

Like you said - the wait is on for a Turbo owner to step up to the mark. :cool:
