Plasti-dipped decklid emblem and painted door handles. Whatcha think?

Also, while the dude was at my house, I had him plasti-dip the 911 tips.

Convert, my 964 targa has had company in the garage for four years. 2014 Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. On the wall is an original 1991 dealer poster that has a familiar car in it.

Porscheconvert,
car looks great! Pretty much the same as my cayenne, white with two tone interior. Same ebay tips I think also. Your new rims look great. A couple of questions for you....
what tint percentage did you go with? Same all around or different for sides vrs back?
let me know what you think of the blue spark(assuming your diesel is post emissions fix). Lots of complaints on post fix diesels.
Also how do you like the pedal tune thing? Less push more go?

Thanks! Not sure what tint was, but whatever was legally possible in TX. We chose to tint a bit lighter for front 2 windows vs rest.

I returned BS due to similar issues most others were having with post fix cars. That caused me to research and get RC. They make competitive product to BS (which I intend to try), but their XLR is simply a modification of the throttle sensor. Wife and I both in love...yes to your point, less push of throttle and more go. It does seem to remove some of the throttle lag that exists on these cars, but maybe that's my mind playing tricks on me. It is just more fun to drive now.

Ok. Thanks for the info!
I’ll end up doing a tint sometime here soon.
Wanted the blue spark but will wait till the bugs are worked out. Malone would be even better but I have the 6 year warranty.... don’t want to chance that at all.
