Colour is subjective and a matter of taste, but certain cars look terrible in white. Silver on the other hand is timeless so is your seal grey.

that 996 is PERFECT. the aston martin hatchback looks like a toy. don't like the amv8. an aston needs to be a big body coupe - vanq S/DBS.

911C4S has a spectacular aura about911C4S has a spectacular aura about911C4S has a spectacular aura about
White/Black/Silver/etc....Colors..

I'm just happy I have a Pcar sitting in my garage! Everybody has their own opinion and ideas on what is the best color. Done right there really is no color better than another. Only consolation for certain colors is some are harder to keep clean. Washing is 1/2 the fun of owning a Porsche, Right? The other 1/2 is driving them and MOdding them! Keep posting! Your rides all look very sick!

You ought to slap an OEM GT3 lip spoiler under the front bumper. You'll appreciate it at higher speeds and it looks sharp.

I saw that, and I totally would. Except that I picked up a turbo bumper that I will be putting on. Now I just need to find a bodyshop that has experience in doing this in OC. Does Anyone have any recommendations? So far I hear CCC is the best in So. Cal

Nice choice, you will really like the improved aerodynamics.
If you want very personalized service, go to www.afterhourscompositeworks.com , number is on bottom of page, call and ask for Brian Kono, tell him Kurt sent you.
Located in San Pedro / Long Beach. Meticulous work. Nice guy.

He made this CF console lid and rear piece for my pcar ...by hand... It's flawless, and the CF he used matches my OEM CF shifter exactly.





Brian also installed my GT3 bumper + side skirts and fabricated / installed stainless mesh in the upper and lower bumper openings. Rock solid.

Love the white.

I dunno though, the all black wheels to me look like a guy with no tan wearing black socks and black shoes.

I really can't judge as I have chrome wheels (was on the car when purchased)
