I'm sorry Joe, you got that wrong.

She got it wrong -- therefore, you loose.

Does the liscense plate cover the old reflecters holes? I want to ditch mine. I was thinking a strip of fiberglass on the back and bondo to make it flush. Has anyone done anything different?

The rear reflector was the only weak point. If that is gone, then you are fine for a track toy.

Good riddance of the reflector.
I would also take out the "porsche" windshield script.
Perhaps replace it with a RED Rennlist banner...
Complete the sides by adding red stripes on either side of the "porsche" script.
Finally paint the center caps red.

Another thing you might consider to tone it down just a little - ditch the white "highlighting" narrow stripes on either side of the red one... that will keep the impact, without being so in-your-face... and I agree, red centercaps...

Definitely either loose the door script or complete it with pinstripe above and below the script and running from wheel well to wheel well.

Red caps or black.

Could do without the white stripes, but it makes it unique.

oh and the rear reflector things should be banned!

I'd paint the center caps red and certain parts of the crest black, remove porsche from the doors and remove rear reflector.

Anthony, you know I like you a lot, and your wife is a doll, your kid is cute, and you've got great cars-but what were you smokin when when started pimping that ride up?? Less is more, think back to the Bauhaus ethic of your old 914.
