I've got to be honest I wouldn't of put stickers on myself but once I had seen the car silver with the black mirrors and wheels done it just works ,and for me give's the car a slight retro porsche feel and I am a big fan of old Skool Singer 911's so the stickers are here to stay for now.

I've considered plasti-dipping the wheels black and I do really like that sticker. Anyone want to try some photoshop? It's in for stereo work right now




P.s. Sorry about the size! Not sure how to resize on my tablet...

I would hope some prep would help out hold better, all the cool kids are doing it!

Not 100% on what's on my car but pretty sure it's a TechArt knockoff. I'll be looking to swap the front end for something that can use 997 side markers and DRL in the future I think. Its a GT2 knockoff spoiler. You should have seen the chrome wheels and stretched tires that were on it when I bought it...

Precision was where I was going to go for sure but I've started down the upgrade path with stereo, standalone, and other induction parts. Body pieces and wheels have to wait but I love seeing other cars of similar color like this one for ideas!

I was looking at getting the turbo decal on the side of my car but I thought that maybe a little too much.

I thought I would share some more pics of my car as I may keep this as a Progress/build thread.
Thanks again for all the positive feed back

Wow, I hadn't even noticed the mirrors, looks good! Steering wheel in the wrong side though ;-) There are some brushed aluminum trim rings that can be put around the gauges that might look nice. I'd snap a pic of mine but don't have access to the car right now. Alcantra wheel?

Punko is infamous around these parts
Looks great, I have a similar decal waiting for warm weather to install.

I also have a small piece that fits on the lower front bumper just in front of the tires.

Did you ever consider blacking out the intakes similar to the mirrors?

I'd like those intakes in carbon fiber but all I've found cost your first born! I'd try Di-Noc but don't want to risk it looking cheap. I'm a C/F freak and drool over DB Carbon's site! Might be interesting to see what the car would look like with those blacked out, maybe photoshop it first of use Plastidip. That stuff seems to have a million uses
