I'm not your brother. I was asking because filipinos are known to like make things that they own stand out from where I was born and raised. Stuff like painting their whole house purple.

Apologies mr hakaida, i simply call porsche owners brothers because i share the same passion with them, but i shall remember not to consider you as one, and i shall not discuss where i come from with you lest we get into undesirable discussion. Now back to regular programming.

I like both. I guess since they're stickers you can always go back to original.
What other mods are you planning?

The Fuchs style black w/silver painted perimeter Porsche Speedster wheels are the best looking, most appropriate looking wheel especially on a white Carrera as we have. Why fight it?
