back from paint...finally!

Finally got a break in the weather, so I took some quick pics. Got the rockers, front air dam, bumperettes, and rear valences color matched. Not sure why Porsche didn't do this in the first place as it looks so much better.

Interior peices done were the a/c, heated seats, cd trim peices and an ipod dock. Also got the clear LED brake lamp.

I agree with how good it looks, and Porsche does let you option these parts painted (now). I advise getting the rear valance a 'clear bra' (although I guess 'bra' isn't the appropriate choice of words - how 'bout 'panties' ) I've seen them get pretty road-rash-blasted and start to chip horrifically … except when you clear-film them, it really makes a difference several months later.
I know some people are against the clear-bra film, and I agree it can make for a distorted paint-finish-look, but under the valance it’s almost invisible and makes for great paint preservation.
One mans advice to maintain a great look. Hope it helps. You’ve done a great job.
