OK, here are some not so great camera phone shots. I'll take better ones this weekend.

How much extra to get them painted if you don't mind me asking?

It's not currently. I may do that at some point this year. Love the look of a slightly lowered 911. This is defiantly a pretty unique car around here anyway.

As far as the cost goes to paint them I honestly can't remember. But it wasn't bad at all. I got a terrific quote from Eric on the wheels, paint and those FANTASTIC Michelin's.

thanks!

Hey guys-

I'm looking for Porsche Crest stickers to replace the AG stickers I have now. They looked designed to be replaced. Same size and shape as the Porsche crest stickers. Do any of you have a link to such a thing?

Thanks-

You may need to replace the entire center cap. You can order the center caps from Suncoast (they have a bunch of styles), but you would need to confirm dimensions to make sure that they will work.

The problem that you will then have is that the field around the crest will be one of Porsche's colors... not bronze. I went down this road and had the caps custom painted to match my bronze wheels.

Super Cool Brianja. Really like those ADV.1's. Nice design. Works really well with white. I'll probably just leave the AG center caps alone. They're fine and already painted bronze.

Thanks much!

I was thinking about it some more and in order to paint my OEM caps bronze the shop had to remove the crest from the cap, paint and then re-apply it.

If they are the crests are the same size I bet that you could remove the ones from a set of OEM caps and transfer them to the perfectly matching AG caps that you already have! That would look great!

I decided to just keep the AG caps. They look good. Here's a few more shots of the rims inside the garage. For whatever reason they look better in the garage. At least that day. What an awesome car.
