I like it, the only other thing I would do is paint your side intakes black and mirrors black,I think the silver looks weird. Debadged look is great,nice mod.

I like the silver rear wing but agree with the side vent in black . I am putting a set of these new styled side vents IN Black Gel Coat on my car next week they would look cool IMO on you car .also Black hood crest(Hard to find now) would look good on your car .Just my 2 cents you car looks fantastic !

I think the badging on the side is unnecessary in both cases, so I vote for removing it completely. I agree that the silver accents look out of place, especially the side intakes. I'd paint everything black to match the car. Digging the hood sticker btw.

I think I agree with you but will keep the "CaymanR" stickers to see if they do grow on me. I like the hood badge so much that I think they all should be that way(schmooth...)

I like it.. It's all personal preference anyways.. I like the new sticker you put on.. As I was hand washing mine this week I realized the "Porsche" decal is probably going to get nicked and scratched anyways so you probably did the right thing..
As far as the badge goes, I've been waiting a very long time to own that badge.. I've already smoked a few cubans, sipped some fine red wines, and chugged a couple of beers just sitting and starrng at the badge in my garage! I'll check out the new badge in person when I go to the shop.. Nice job Pro..
I'm Getting my windows tinted this week, I'll post some pics after this

Love the new look, especially he 'Cayman R' graphics on the doors. IMO, the door designation decals should be an option Porsche makes available for all sports car models.

As far as the rest, leave it as is. To me, too much black makes a car lose it's shape and lines. The silver accents help maintain some contrast.
