All black would look good if the wheels had no lip. However, they do have a lip and look better, IMO, left polished. I do like the black centers though.

quick solution: the vinyl pin stripes is a good compromise in any color you choose.

Yes, silver pinstripe would top it off nicely.

I like the all black look... Sadly the flood of cheap-o eBay black center/polished lips has killed that look for me. I really think your all black look is 100 times better than what they were before. I also agree that the skirts would really compliment the 'business' like look you're going for with that wing, otherwise it looks a little out of place.

Keep going, you're almost there and obviously your own opinion is all that matters at the end of the day!

I like the all black look on your NB. Did you clear coat them after powdercoating them for another layer of protection?
I think the really big wing on the back - begs for sideskirts........

Definitely MKII. I prefer MKI's overall design, so I got that with a Taco wing, but now that I have the same wing as you, I wish I had MKII. But that's just me. The general public doesn't really notice as long as some kind of skirt is on there.

I want to see the wheels with the center caps installed. I like the all black but it is lacking that finished look right now. Also, I agree about the side skirts as well. In the end you are who owns the car and your opinion is all that matters though.

looks like i'm in the minority here.. perhaps i'm a little biased, but the new version kicks a$$ over the dated previous look! i just say no to side skirts, but with that wing i think they could improve the overall look quite a bit. here are a few pix of mine with and without center caps in custom maintenance free "brake dust" black

All black is awesome. For some reason I really feel that Porsches really are able to pull the look off perfectly. The chrome really pulls attention away from the great looking body. Nowadays it seems everyone fhas chrome lips and black centers.

After is better to me, nice job. I would pop for side-skirts to bring it all together


MKII car needs MKII skirts, no question
