Had a spare minute today so did a quick wash/wax and then decided to plasti dip the turbo badge!! It was my first time plasti-dipping a badge and it was easier then I imagined !!
Thinking of going for all black look on the car - going to paint the exhaust tips in black hi-temp paint and get black wheels!
Let me know what you think!

Mine is a non-turbo but it used to have the turbo style rim which I plastic-dipped to black, along with the badge and exhaust tips. Lasted very well for almost year before I gave it a complete make over.
My personal taste on black rim is that it gets "hidden" too much especially at night. So I added pinstripe to outline some details. I went with red to go along with the red ascent (my other car is silver and has black rims with silver pinstripe.
Hope this pic helps. The pinstripe is photoshopped, but looks exactly the same in real. I never get to the checker flag stage before doing the make over a couple of months ago
Unless you have your heart set on new black rims, I painted my Turbo rims recently, and was thrilled with the result.
No harm in trying out a new wheel - although the turbo wheel does look good in black. Depending on what wheel I get - can probably get close to breaking even between buying new wheels / selling the old ones...
My biggest debate is to go gunmetal or black wheels and Im leaning towards black right now!! Had avant garde set on my previous 997 and LOVED them!!
Gunmetal would look great too on your car. Best thing about plastic-dip is that it can be undo & redo very easily. And both black and gunmetal are available ;-)
