A little cosmetic surgery

I have owned my car for a little over two months. After fighting the mod bug I finally gave in.

Did some minor cosmetic work. I had the euro side markers and rear tail lights tinted 50% along with the windows (3M Color Stay 50%).

I also replaced the "Carrera" script with a black "911".

Next up is black powder coated exhausts and EVO CAI.

Nice,
I was thinking of going black on rear badge, with CARRERA, but 911 looks good on black...

Your car sounds sweet. I think you can't go wrong either way!

Thanks!

Just waiting on Suncoast for the tips. Emailed Ryan earlier this week and he will let me know when the next batch is in (they are out of stock at the moment). The CAI should be next month.

I need to space the mods out so I have something to look forward to.

Save your money on the CAI, IMO it is only for sound and is kind of internal bling, and even the really nice looking ones don't get seen that much.

It might make a difference if you have a full exhaust system, but it is minimal.

I suggest getting your tips ceramic coated mat black. It's very cheap as I had mine done locally for $40. I have been told that powder coating will not last long because of the heat from the exhaust. Do some research.

Good luck.
