Cool- the GT3 upgrades will look sharp. FYI the OEM euro clear markers can be picked up for $24/pair from Sunset Porsche in Oregon. Cheap!
I really don't know about the gold mesh rims though.... typically gold doesn't look good. Just my 2c

p0rsch3, very nice cab. I like how you retained its stock appearance yet tweaked it just enough to set it apart without going over board. Very clean!

Thanks! I guess I just stick with subtle changes which look sporty but stay in line with the factory look.
Wheel spacers (15mm R and 7mm F) make the car have a better stance.
Silver hood crest, clear markers, clear bulbs, silver wheel crests clean up the exterior, i'm not a big fan of gold emblems.
Coilovers to drop car 1", gets rid of that unsightly wheel gap and greatly improves driveability
Oversize S tips (aftermarket)- keeps the factory PSE look with a bit more agressive edge.
911 badge painted in JDM platinum silver - I think it adds a nice retro touch to car, and it is much easier to wax around than the Carrera script.
3M 35% ceramic tint- not too dark, just right.
A few CF interior goodies- in this case the steering wheel, shifter and ebrake.
I still have to paint the console in exterior color and have the console lid redone in CF.
Anyway that is my madness- Everyone has their own prefs.

Why not consider powdercoating the center piece? It's mor durable than paint.
MACarbon has a killer carbon fiber steering wheel.

They are fantastic. They do all the high end custom rods and motorcycles.
Incredible work.

Cool- what do you think the cost would be? I was under the impression that powder coating limits the type of paint colors you can use, nice to hear this is not correct.
