Yeah I think the $900 for High Gloss Black Calipers is actually very reasonable - especially given the fact it is done by Porsche and you don't have to wait for it once you get your car!!!

I agree that is a really clean/aggressive look. That being said, I really do like the Red and White calipers that come as standard and I think they look great with most colors.
struggled with the same thing....then realized its best to let Porsche handle anything brake related. Horror stories of 3rd parties not painting the calipers correctly and leading to major issues. Love the look....ties in with the other HGB parts.

That garage is too clean! I hope the other side has lots of boxes and yard tools scattered about.

Nice garage! Did you - like me - upgrade your garage when you got the Taycan?
It effectively added $$$ to my 'purchase price' - but oh, so statisfying!

I think this is an issue in relation to a recall performed on early Taycan orders, but I believe they have a permanent resolve now.

@leftang Have you had any recalls performed on your Taycan?

Had a look at these, but I wasn't sure whether the Cayman/Panamera key fob is the same shape/design as the Taycan's?
I don't know! And I don't have my car yet so can't really cross-check, though it looked pretty similar from what I can tell. Maybe someone else can confirm?

At 20 bucks I thought it's worth a go anyway.

Porsche has generation 1 and generation 2 key fobs. The gen 2 is smooth on the end where you can attach a key ring. Gen 1 protrudes a bit. Be very careful to ensure you are ordering a gen 2 piece on ebay. In the end I ordered the Porsche OEM piece post delivery from Suncoast parts. The cheap ones are usually plastic (not painted). I wanted one that matched the Mamba Green (see attached gen 2 Mamba Green for Taycan).

I got the Key Fob in picture for £6.99 off ebay and it looks great.

Awesome, thanks. I think the ebay one looks like the right version, though I'm sure you're right about moulded vs painted.

Thank you. It’s my thing. Nothing out that can hurt the ladies. Everything is enclosed in cabinets. Fortunate to have a couple stables for them and try to keep it as clean as a living room.
appreciate the compliments!

Hi Luke,

Is it possible for the dealerships to replace the steering wheel? My build came with the standard wheel, but now I want to change it to the version with the carbon fiber trim.I’m willing to pay, but just want to know if it’s possible or not . Thanks!

I have the fake carbon fiber sides for my Macan key, and they look terrible after a bit if you have anything on a ring, because the color on them scratches off.

Hi, thanks for your time on this forum. Question - is there any reason for the space between the front seats (under the consoles)? i understand it can be upgraded for a storage package - but what purpose does it serve without the upgrade? Any? Thanks again.
