My car was black and I almost did what you did except with the Orange. Your combo is nice!! Here in the desert, black is a rough color. I have about 200 yards of dirt road to travel and the black doesn't show well when dusty. Also when its a 110 degrees outside, the black is a bit hot. I think on my next car, I will do the grey/red combo from the gt3rs. Oh, and what front lip is that?? I need one!

Gruen (actually Grün but since typing the umlaut (the colon above the u) is difficult on a keyboard the 'e' is added instead) means Green in English.

More than you wanted to know I'm sure...

The bottom two are washed out by the light and my crappy cell phone. You have to really like these cars to put this much time and money into them. Now I just need to find the left and right side lower front body trim. I have the long pieces, but the front short pieces were toast....
What kind of car is it though?

i'm still not fully wild on the hood, but i'm trying...

but, I love the color combo and with respect to the side PORSCHE decal.


btw, it's threads like this that have me thinking maybe we really do have it pretty good....

even so far removed from the pdk/high-dollar fun world.

a good read, you all.....
