Black sapphire front aerokit in titanium

Borrowed the idea from someone else in this forum.
What do you guys think?

I want to paint the mirrors too.
Did it in my wife's cayenne S and it looks good.
I am afraid it will look too tacky with the black...
Btw, I kept the back Aerokit all black.

I ummed and aahhed a long time on whether to do the same with my aerokit and am now wishing I broke it up with some silver/titanium after seeing how well yours turned out! Looks good

In hindsight I should have done it. The silver breaks it up very nicely as on black/darker cars the aerokit does not show up as much and is not as striking as say on an Apline White.

THe porsche looks good with the silver mirrors, on the X... not sure would pull it off though.

Looks great!

Did you do it yourself like the kindey grill? BTW, Is this 3.0 or 4.8?

i wouldn't paint the mirrors, it wouldn't look right with the black, and would be too much
