Looks good but hard to tell, need a picture taken in daylight also.

Think keeping the area with the beam unpainted is the way to go, something similar to a 997 look like you say, plus you would not be interfering with any beam.

+1 on SWEEEETTTT!! I too cant wait to see variations of it especially on silver cars.

I too am thinking of keeping the area chrome and then painting the rest either grey or black...should look interesting on my Sabrina

Well I dropped my 996 Seal Grey of yesterday and it should be a couple of weeks...I am having the entire outside chrome area(including the fog area) seal grey...the clear ring with the turn light will be smoked and then the inside of the of the light area will be left silverish. The circle chrome plug will also be seal grey. I am also getting the front spoiler, side skirts, and rear diffuser seal grey. Also the rear bumps on bumper will be body matched and some sweet HRE P40's flat black! Oh also a nice window tint as well....I cant wait!
