gblansten · 12-23-2014, 04:57 PM

While pure metal silver is too expensive for me it looks fantastic. Thanks for following up with pics. Love it.

wow looks great!!

Cant get over how cheap cars are over there in the US!!!

I don't care if God himself descended from the heavens and sprayed this paint;$10k extra for a shade of grey is absurd. Props for having the cash to afford such an extra, OP, but I'll stick to Glacier Silver for my next build.

A lot of people probably think the M5 is absurd in any color. It typically is a $100k car. The threadstarter didn't hit me up for a loan for the paint job and I have no problem with him spending his money the way he wants.

Congrats. Waiting for the detailer's! Please post here.

EzequielR · 12-23-2014, 05:43 PM

Congrats, the car is a beauty!

JPMD · 12-23-2014, 05:50 PM

Awesome build. Thanks for sharing and also for posting the pics.

Although "exclusive" options are indeed expensive it's great that we have options to customize from the factory.

Hopefully prices come down over time as more take advantage; ?wishful thinking.

Interesting from either an investment standpoint or resale certain Porsche models in PTS "paint to sample" will fetch more money.

BossBeamer · 12-23-2014, 06:02 PM

Wow man congrats on such a beautiful car!

Will you track? Also are you going to clear bra?

I went to check it out right away. It was dark, but I could tell the Pure Metal Silver paint was something special. The paint was unbelievable.

I will be picking up tomorrow and I will post pics. Then it's off to the detailer for a couple of days. I will have the detailer take some really good photos as well to post later in the week.

Spot on!

You think $10k is an expensive option...?.??.... Don't go shopping for a Porsche. This stuff is all luxury and up to the individual's discretion.

To the OP... That color IS gorgeous! GLOSSY!

audioquest · 12-23-2014, 06:59 PM
