I like the blacked out (probably modded) exhaust on the Evil Twin. You might consider doing that. I have never understood the exhaust tips on the 997TT anyway. Brilliant car, but this is something that I would change immediately upon acquisition. In the end, the car has to resemble the owner. You remember the movie Best In Show?

Maybe the owner resembles a skunk?

If your going to darken something like that, why not just go all out and make it carbon fiber? That would be bad ***.

If that car was done right. This is how a white 997TT should look.

People try to do this on bmws too and I have the same opinion.

This looks good on the new M3's since the roof is CF. This also looks good on mercedes with the pano roofs. That's it, it just looks cheesy just about everywhere else.

I would put a half norwegian/half irish vinyl flag on my roof before I'd paint it all black. Lol.

It's harder for the M3 to look different the rest of thousands of other modded M3s out there. So one has to raise the level of outrageousness just to look apart.

Would of looked way better if they would have had someone lay down carbon fiber instead of painting it flat black. I like the tail lights…

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes carbon if played out but I think on that car it really would stand out. I have seen it on other cars and it sure does pop.
