Thumbs down Fail

When I first opened the thread & looked at the top pic, I was gonna comment something like "awesome job, the LEDs look sweet" BUT...

... Then I scrolled & saw the ricer LEDs under the car, & was like WTF!!! Is this a prank or something?? I guess that's what happens when 996s are abundantly available for new-Honda-prices. We get ricer 911s. I'm not trying to be a dick, but come on: you got non-functional turbo vents on a NA car, TechArt badges & "GT STREET" when the parts are fiberglass replicas, an S badge on a non-S & who knows what else I'm missing, but the point is that it's a sad day for Porsche.

I couldn't even find a proper card online to describe this, so I made my own, here you go:

Well you did ask for opinions... let me preface by saying I liked what you've done up until those LEDs... that matte black hood is kinda cool, but I'm thinking carbon fiber would be a little classier... I went to So Cal Euro and saw an entire BMW in the matte black... I think I liked the novelty of it, but not for me... anyway, it's been said (and I follow it too) it's your car, do whatever makes you happy!

I like the hood a lot, but I'd remove the LEDs from the front air dam. Nice car
