A few photos of my Taycan ST GTS - Lowered with Spacers, and a few other Mods

[Shindoman]

The Pilot Sport all seasons are great. Very good grip in all conditions. The grip won’t be as good as the summer performance Pilot Sports (4S or Cup 2), but I feel it’s the best tire for my year round driving, without having to swap them during seasonal changes.

I have the OEM Pirelli P-Zeros available if anyone wants them. They are brand new with less than 100 miles on them. I’m in Greenwich, CT if anyone is interested in picking them up.

Here’s a video of the animation of the clear side markers. Instead of a standard blink, the light travels left to right (opposite on the passenger side of the car). No warning lights and fitment is good. Subtle mod, but I like it.

where did you buy the side marker lights? Any recoding needed?
car looks fantastic!

Guess I should have looked further. Thanks for helping. Ordered them already.

If that battery takes a dent, you're looking at 50K to replace it with no warranty support.

I would never lower a Taycan.

I don't think OP cares about the cost lol

Absolutely not the case. I would never want to cause any damage to my car, and have an expensive repair bill on my hands.

Again, I’m no stranger to lowered cars, and my newly lowered Taycan is honestly not even all that low. It’s certainly not lower than my 720s! I find myself mostly driving in the Lowered mode, which is roughly equivalent to the OEM Low mode ride height. I use the new Low mode for parking the car or driving through nice, smooth backcountry roads….which are actually rather plentiful here in Greenwich, CT.

So far so good with the lowered ride height.

I’ve had the car for a little over a month and so far I’ve installed FVD lowering links to drop the car about 13mm, I installed 12mm (front) and 10mm (rear) spacers, changed the tires to Michelin Pilot Sport All Season (315/30-21 in the rear), changed the side marker lights to clear with animation, and had the full car PPF’d with Xpel 8mm with ceramic coating.

I also installed the Nine-Volt wireless charger, and a mirror tap for my radar detector.

550 miles on the odometer, and love the car so far! Not worrying about resale value just yet!

Beautiful setup, thanks for sharing!

Couple questions, where did you pick up the 12mm (front) and 10mm (rear) spacers? With that setup any issues with lots of stone scratches and paint chips from the tires throwing up road debris? Spaced wheels definitely throw up a lot more road debris, but I would like to do something similar to yours. My GTS ST also has full PPF/STEK. Thanks!

Thanks! I am very happy with the way the car looks and drives.

I got my spacers from 4wheelspacers.com. They ship out pretty quickly.

No issues with stone chips. The tires do not stick out beyond the fenders. My car is fully PPF’d as well, but I have not noticed any additional debris coming up from the widened stance.

Did you change the color of your GTS? Let’s see some pics.

I was considering going with the new Xpel color change PPF in British Racing Green, but I chickened out and went with clear 8 mil Xpel.

Great to hear, thank you! Will likely order that spacer setup.

Looks like these were the pairs you purchased, right?

Yes, I did! I will have to post pictures. I went with STEK DYNOprism over Neptune Blue and it is incredible (makes more flakier metallic and more purple on the body lines). That film also adds a ton more gloss too, topped with Gyeon ceramic coating.

Wow, can’t wait to see your photos! I love the stock Neptune Blue. I was actually looking for a Neptune ST GTS, but couldn’t find one with the right options.

Did you wrap all the door jambs, etc. If you don’t mind, can you share the cost the Stek install?

I am thinking of either wrapping these pieces that I’m showing with the arrows in a carbon fiber looking vinyl, or I may paint those pieces in a charcoal grey paint. I just want some contrast and want to get rid of the plastic look.

Do you think the Stek vinyl will stick to those plastic pieces? They may need to be sanded smooth in order for the vinyl to stick, but if I’m going to do that, I may as well paint the pieces.

I did not wrap the door jambs, not noticeable for me versus the level of effort and cost. STEK DYNOprism film and install was $7000.

Regarding the red arrows you pointed out, I have the carbon fiber packages on my GTS ST so these areas with carbon fiber are wrapped with clear gloss STEK DYNOshield. But STEK will not stick to those other plastic pieces. They are Gyeon ceramic coated.

Also, do you have rear axle steering on your Taycan, Polar993? Any issues with the rear spacers and rear axle steering?

Wow, that looks pretty cool! Definitely unique and eye catching.

$7k is what I paid for my Xpel 8mil PPF, so your install sounds about right in terms of cost.

I wish my GTS had the carbon aero kit. Yours looks great. So you don’t think Stek or any other PPF or vinyl product will stick to the plastic?

My spec does not have rear wheel steering.
