The stock tail lights and red calipers gives a good contrast, I would leave it that way. Very nice!

Thanks a lot guys for all the compliments! I would NEVER blackout the tails. Not a fan of that look at all. As for the wheel color, I might change it to a dark gunmetal, but I am getting used to the look of the black wheels more and more. The cost to do the wheels was $400. The tips are just stock tips that I had ceramic coated.

What do you guys think about a thin red pinstripe?

Love what you have done so far. But I would either remove the 'Carrera S' or paint it black.

My two cents.

Love it...absolutly love it and can;t wait to see it in person!

Personally I would leave the calipers red and tail lights red to make the car really pop and catch the eye some. I might think about buying a red S from Eric at Bumper Plugs for the rear logo.

So, Greek when are you going to drive that car over to my house?

Nice talking with you today....going back and looking at the black wheels...what center cap is that?

I think a black center cap but with the Porsche crest would look good.

Thoughts?

I usually don't like blacked out cars because the style is played out but yours looks nice. +1 on NOT blacking out the tail lights and calipers.

Thin red lip on the outer edges of your wheels would be snazzy
Small red accents to all the black

MURDER MURDER, Love the murder look....looks mean...If you want to touch the tail lights, I say leave the red because it goes with your brakes, but make the clear part in the tail light (revers light) BLACK....itll go well... it would look good with a little bit of a drop too....anyways look SICK
