That car really is stunning, I absolutely love it!

The headlight tint is really odd, it doesn't look real - more like a photoshop! I can't decide if it looks good or not, I think it's a good thing to tint those rear lights a little as they look a bit outdated now.

p.s. I really like that the bottoms of the skirts and rear bumper are colour coded, was this done aftermarket? I am taking my car to Porsche tomorrow, will ask if they can do it for me.

Thanks Chris...there is one other pic you took that day that is missing though I think you know the one...hint...it's a rear veiw mirror pic lol!

yeah the skirts (side and rear) are body matched while the front lip remains black...this look, along with the body color matched wheels, is a very European style, you can see this on many of the 'teknik' or tuner cars there, I got the idea when I saw it whilst last in Germany in '08 while doing a European delivery at BMW Welt with my brother when he was getting his new car...I figured that style would go well on this car.

Great looking color and like the wheels- do you have spacers on them yet? If not it's a cool mod and really makes it look mean.

thanks bud ...nope no spacers...what size would i get to make them look really mean as you mentioned? The car is quite low from the factory, and the GT2 has it's fender seams rolled from the factory so that would help with clearances...was thinking about getting a set of wheel studs at some point also maybe...

I agree with Matt's statement. I can understand why people don't like it, but I do. It's a race car - it can afford to be a little different.

Car looks great but the tinted headlights look out of place on the car. Also get two plugs for the front bumper
