Nice! It's the little things that really spruce up your car. Re: the headlight pic, did you recondition the lenses? If you want to keep it looking clear without the dull buildup, have a body shop install the 3M clear wrap over them. I've heard that will prevent the lens from dulling up. BTW...nice rear spoiler.

Nice!

You could have popped out the headlights. It's super easy to do with the supplied hex wrench that comes in your Porsche tool kit. I spent about 8 hours wet sanding my headlights yesterday. Started with 800 grit, then 1000, then 1500 & finished off with 2000 then used Mother's hand glaze to make them pop. Look brand new.

Thank you. The headlights and wheels were fully refurbished, the rocker panel were also painted as well of the callipers and disc brakes black to clean up the rust a little bit, also remove the clear bra, was getting yellow and remove the bumper protector covers and refill the holes to give it more newer european look, and full detail inside and out. I use Collinite #845 Insulator Wax to get a nice finish.

Cheers.

Thank you. Is a GT3 body kit with the GT3 wheels also. I didn't want to get something too overwhelming you know what I mean.

Now I'd like to decide if I go for the carbon fiber mirror covers or not....can't make up my mind since the car turned out really nice.

That's a Porsche Carrera Aero spoiler, not GT3

I think you are set. I wouldn't put the CF mirror covers on that car if it were mine.

Looks good. I love those wheels.
