Very nice!
Are you sure its Platinum Silver? Looks Rhodium Silver to me, in fact, Platinum was no longer avaliable in MY2014.

Yes, you are very correct, it's rhodium silver...not platinum silver.

My latest mod: Porsche factory hood emblem in swarovski crystals...

Took me a week to get it done with very tiny pieces of crystals, but love how it turned out nevertheless. It's glittering and blingy shiny.

Will put it to the hood soon and take some photo.

Appreciate any comments

That crest looks quite cool. Did you make it yourself? Or did you order it from some shop? If you have done it yourself, that must have been a lot of work. Did you put those crystals on the existing standard Porsche crest?

I got the magnetic 911 car set for my son. We painted his bedroom wall with magnetic paint with a whiteboard paint topcoat. We can draw imaginary race tracks with dry erase pens.

Your collection of Porsche tchotchkes is impressive, but have you seen the Carrera shaped paper clips?

Yes, they went on top of the existing standard Porsche crest.

The work wasn't that hard, just glass glue and 3 types of swarovski. The trick is to line them up on top of printed crest on paper before gluing them.

The crystals cost about $200.

My first Porsche is an 2004 Boxster S (Artic Silver). I've decided to get this 2014 991 C2 (Platinum Silver) out of the dealer's lot. It was a love on sight (sorry my ol beloved Boxster).

As some of you know, I live in Japan around Shizuoka area. If any of rennlister coming here for vac, do let me know.

And here're some photographs that I snapped today. The PSE is not yet installed, but I'm getting it done maybe next week (at the dealer, of course).




786 km of fun





Ipod touch with leather cover (Porsche Design)





Inner cockpit (all leather - black)





Porsche frunk liner + 50th anniversary blanket. Thanks all for recommending these!





2014 991 C2 in Platinum Silver. Inside the storage garage.





Yes, this is the C-tek charger to keep the battery full and spify.





License plate with genuine swarovski bolts.





Changed the emblem from 911 Carrera to just 911.





Stainless stell cabinet for storing tools & chemicals (car wash stuff, dremel, drills, etc). I have 4 of these cabinets in my garage - very handy for storing useful items and junks.
