![]() When I read your post it reminded me when I was considering making the change to a similar finish. If you want to match the current finish of your door handles then make sure you know which of the two you have, titanium or graphite metallic. Some of the finishes are really spectacular, some are not. If I can find my photos of the different finishes I'll post them here. Quote:

Excellent! Thank you for posting the photographs. I absolutely have the graphite metallic. Although it's nice and clean looking I prefer look of the wood grain with smoke-grey Poplar. Anyone have an idea of cost? David

Yes smoke-grey poplar is quite nice. I once saw it on a 4.8is with the champagne leather two-tone interior and it was amazing. Unfortunately that finish isn't cheap, however you can always offset the cost a little by selling your current finish. You can either buy the pieces separately or contact someone like Roveractive for a full kit. Just make sure you get the parts you need and not more or less (i.e. proper shirt know, nav versus CD radio cover, etc.) See here:

My 4.8is LOVVEELY!!!!
I love this truck. I have had 2 Porsche GT3's and now my 09 Carerra S
with PDK. The best car I have ever driven PERIOD. But I have to say when I get in my truck and start it up, I get a big smile! Its so much fun and for a truck its almost not fair. I can drive my 911 every day if I want. But I get in this truck and I get in a mood where I drive it for a week or longer before I get back to the 911. Hey does anybody have a list of Mods we should do? Like what are the upgrades we can do like Dinan?

No problems in my 2006 4.8is. Its got 32000 miles on it. I have the new Continental Extreme Contact tire on it (DWS version OK on snow)
Its pretty reliable and keeps me from buying a Cayenne. I am a huge Porsche Fan but this truck is too good to sell.
