I always loved the grey SpeedArt 997 so I wanted to do something a little similar with my car just to spice it up a bit. Next I am thinking about doing something with the wheels to have it all come together a bit more.

Pretty sick Mav! Black centers on the wheels would bring it home.

I like it! I was thinking of doing the "Porsche" stripe on the door myself. The stripe looks good.

Thank you! Yeah, I wanted to do something different than the 'Porsche' stripe. My goal is to have the car look like it is either a factory or a tuner package rather than just a bunch of parts thrown together. I guess we will see if I end up succeeding or not lol.

Definitely changes up the look.

I think you need to carry the stripe onto the sides of the front bumper. Not much, but just a little too tie it all together. If you carry the strip onto the side of the front bumper and let the red line on the stripe arc down to toward the red line on the splitter, I think it would tie things together nicely.

I would also agree some charcoal wheel centers would also tie things together (not black).

Later, Steve

Ck986 is infamous around these parts
I really like the front and rear spoiler. I'm not a big fan of the stripe on the door. Overall, it's a nice change.
