Mk1 Cayenne "Inexpensive" appearance mod ideas. Yay? Nay?

So the first person to guess which "sect" of car I come from wins a nice pat on the back (Hint: it starts with a B and ends with a W)...

I was looking at my Cayenne the other day and things while it would be great if I had a few grant to drop on a simple spoiler and some paint to change the look of the P!G there are plenty of other subtle, yet decent mods that can be done that won't break the bank.

1) 'Wrap" or plasti-dip the center grill section on the Turbo's center grill (the horizontal body colored piece). Vinyl is cheap and comes right off so it might not look too bad? Maybe a bit more aggressive? If I went the Plati-Dip route (which will come off with a little work) I could match paint and match it to the grills.

2) Brushed-Aluminum Skid plate. Yes it can be bought from the dealer but for $25, a few beers and some time you can get a sheet of brushed aluminum vinyl wrap that will contour EXACTLY to the shape of the existing plate. It won't "dent" probably won't scratch and can be easily replaced. MAybe some unique color combinations for those with aggressive color schemes?

3) (I've put my flame suit on for this one...). LED Strips just below the headlights like on the '08s+. The technology has come a LONG way and there are some great products out there for little money. Some would flush up nicely in either side grill and wouldn't look too "ricer" at all IMO. Plus the safety of DRL's would be a bonus.

...that is all i have for now. If you'd like to throw in some criticism (constructive or destructive) please do so!

I think blacking out the headlights would be a good one. They are TOUGH to crack open on a Cayenne. Unlike just baking them on other cars.

I have one about half way open. Need to get back around to that project.


Vinyl stripes would do wonders for the CTT. All sorts of race stripes would look cool on it.





I would also love to see a silver/white/Titanium one with a black roof.




Rally style driving lights.

It would probably be cheaper in the long run to buy an aftermarket turbo-style bumper...

If I'm not mistaken, on the Gen1 CS models, the turbo bumper will fit with no mods needed. They're about $800 bucks I think.
