Hi,
since my turbo is now finished, I thought I should post s few pictures. This is my first "colored" Porsche, all others where very conservative (996TT Sealgrey, 993TT Black etc.) Someone said that with age more color is needed---Could be true ;-)
So, any comments, suggestions are appreciated....

Very nice! I think some black after market rims would really complete your car

Beautiful car, my suggestion is to add the Rottec C/F rear end (TA look) and let the centre of it unpainted, that will make your rear perfect. Some wheels will also make it look meaner. Overall you have a very nice looking car, enjoy it

Your car looks fantastic. Usually not fond of yellow wheels on yellow car but those turbo wheels set up like that look very nice!

first the good:

Interior is magnificent IMHO, I love all the extra leather pieces and the yellow stitching. Makes everything pop.
Yellow exterior is very cool for sunny FL.
Vert is cool for FL.
Lower painted trim always a plus


the bad:

(even though I own mobil gas stations) I would never put a pegasus on my car and neither should you, unless its track livery
The painted mirrors and rear spoiler look a bit off and unfinished.
The wheels are horrible.


friendly suggestions:

Car has the potential to make the exterior as awesome as the interior with some simple and cheap changes.
First remove the sticker mentioned above.
Get a new set of wheels in brushed aluminum or black (your call)
CF or back to yellow for the mirrors and wing (or if you'd like switch that wing out for something with some more flair, that deserves to be painted a different color).
Tint the windows to save that amazing interior for many years to come.

personally I like the 1st pic best (the black and white one) - even tho Yellow is my favorite for your car I think yours is "yellow-over-done" (just my opinion, of course - it's your car - no one elses)

love the color as mine is yellow also. Wish I had all that yellow stitching in interior, I really like that. Kind of like the yellow wheels. Leaning towards rear led lights like yours, like those too. Enjoy it!

Exactly my thoughts, although it shouldn't matter.
If you want to paint it pink with little green dogs on it you should, it's your car.

Amazing attention to detail, very nicely done.
I am sure it took a lot of time, congrats. The wheels, although an area of debate apparently, are interesting. I had only seen that scheme on a cobalt car.
You dont need my comments and aesthetic suggestions, to each his own. But bravo on the effort and commitment this took.
