Hello, I would like to change my window trim from chrome to black. Has anyone already done this with the new cayenne model (built in 2024)?

greetings

There are a couple YouTube videos showing it on previous 958 Gen. process appears similar. Doors look easy, it's the rear qtr windows that look tricky. I have been looking into it as well.

isn’t the trim integrated w the rear quarter window as one part so you would need to yank the rear quarters to swap?

Is it the same with the previous Porsche (958) and the new model?

Has no one here in the forum any experiences?

you gotta remember a lot of people buying these cars order them so they come how people want them and even used buyers will shop for a long time so it is kind of a different market. but the plus is, unlike a lot of cars, you can make almost any change after the fact. may cost a fortune, but you can do it.

I believe it's the same BUT a have not tried it. My wife ended up liking the silver trim once I switched to the RS Spyders wheels

Okay, first of all, thank you very much. I can't find the option to buy these trims in black anywhere. Does someone have a tip for me?

How are you configuring your order? I ordered mine in black no problem. In fact as I recall you had to chose the trim to be Chrome in one of the Exterior Packages, black was the standard.

I bought mine used, but in Austria the chrome trim is standard and the black one costs extra.

In North America, the "Black out trim" option also costs extra, and need to be ordered when ordering the new vehicle.

The cheapest and fastest way to go right now is to buy some matt black automotive trim paints, and spray over all the chrome trims.

I thought the preferred cheap path was do vinyl wrap the trim in a satin or gloss black vinyl.

Some car makers have wrapped shiny metal exterior trim with black vinyl instead of using paint - particularly on inexpensive models. We had a Honda Civic that had vinyl wrap on the trim around the side windows. The downside was that the vinyl wrap was more prone to showing scratches.

I wrapped the trim on my Cayenne S two years ago and it still looks new. I used a Black Satin color...not shiny and not matte. I was happy with it - nearly zero maintenance.

The trim on my GTS is the glossy black and it requires much more "upkeep" to keep it looking good. The gloss black shows scratches, dirt, dust, much more than the satin black vinyl.

I would go with wraping it
