Congrats on the new 2024 GTS in Chalk. There is never enough of the beauty of Chalk. I just do not understand how you could finalize the build without us having to chime on it , kidding of course, superb build with a theme going that fits your style. The next thing is what kind of mods are you thinking about. Small but a must do for us were to replace the Orange with Halogen bulbs side markers and Halogen puddle lights, but you have upgraded to LED puddle lights.

Tint looks great. I wonder what brand, film type, and percent you went for. Privacy Glass was reading 27% so we went for 20% front windows, and 70% windshield that has a visually matching look.

 

Haha and guilty of not pre-posting the build! I did so much “research” prior that I ultimately did not post the build feeling excellent about our chosen options.

I did not include specifics on the PPF and tint. PPF is STEK with Gyeon ceramic coating. The tint includes Llumar formula one pinacle ceramic on the side/rear window(maintaining 70% pass through of light per good ol’ NYS state inspection law) and pinnacle formula one ceramic tint (100% light pass through) on the windshield.

Mod numero uno will in fact be the LED side markers, currently debating clear vs smoked style for example autotechnik or flat 6 (considering clear). Your lights look great! Any info on which ones would be considered heavily!!

Second is I have a stonsho mount on the way given our local front license plate situation being mostly aggressively enforced (as opposed to drilling of the front plate holder….no thanks!)

love the included shots of the chalk Macan!! Love the wheels in particular (those were on a pstop when our order froze so no chance for us to option them!!!)😇😎

 

Flat 6 are not LED. The only ones that I found compatible and LED and offered in Clear and Smoked are Autotecknic. I bought them and installed myself and the quality and look exceeded expectations. I went for clear but @AVM having more of the look that you have, went for smoked from Flat 6. Clear to me matches in color pattern of grey/white to the rear bar, so that is why I feel this is the best color for the overall look.

 

As far as mods, Roar Pedal arrived and have not installed it yet, plan this weekend since @AVM highly recommended having it on his spectacular looking 2023 GTS. My main go to mod is COBB tune, but 2024 maps will most likely not be available until May, but I bought COBB AP from the forum vendor selling it a very large discount, so just sitting in a box for now. Otherwise, I am not sure if the Flat 6 cold air intake is worth it, given that there is an issue with fitment (loose). That would be about the extent of the mods that I would be going for. I am already out of $7k on PPF/Tint/Ceramic, $1K+ on COBB, $300 for Android Auto enable, $160 on Roar Pedal, and the rest: Side Markers, Door Puddles, Valve Caps, Colored Key Blades, PCM Protective Film are no more than $500 for all.

 

Looking good . . . and gracias

As far as Flat6 high flow intake goes . . . not sure about the 'fitment issue?' Mine fits perfectly fine.

As far as performance goes, F6 claims a dyno-verified increase of 10whp; improved trap speeds; and improved turbo/throttle responses. I do not dispute their claims, but I have not appreciated any power gains or improved throttle response after installation . . . nor did I expect otherwise.

HOWEVER, the F6 cold air intake absolutely produces VERY audible ‘swoosh’ that was not present with the OEM air filter. I suspect some might like this ‘audible gain?’ I am rather ambivalent.

Thanks to all for the replies! Glad to see all the opinions on different aftermarket mod options and I absolutely love seeing shots of others’ Macans—never gets old!

Definitely liking the clear Autotecknik side markers and agree with @sergeyb on the aesthetic as well as considering the Roar pedal.

Winter wheel/tires from suncoast deliver later this week, went with the 20” platinum macan sport bladed style wheels (we get a ton of snow in Central NY…the big blades make it easy to punch out snow that cakes up

20" Macan Sport Winter Set (Platinum)

I similarly went for chalk painted key remote trim from suncoast, as well as a red carmine ignition switch (will see how it matches into the interior, if it meshes well will be sure to post pics).

 

Hi @docarcade

I’m trying to choose between SunTek and STEK — 2 years on, how is your STEK holding up?

Also, did your installer use precut or bulk install? Mine said I will have seams at the headlights….

My car is arriving in a couple days so I am anxious to finalize picking an installer….
