Very nice look. Yup, do the side markers too.

Now about that hood scoop... To each his own I guess, but what is that I spy out the back? Tell me that is not a fart can on a 928?!?!

Yep. Metallic powder coated. There was a thread a while back.

Could be wrong but it looks like the taillights were done with a tinted film. I've been thinking of doing this myself to reduce the clash of the orange taillights against my red bumper cover. Here is one source of bulk sheets available in various sizes and tints: http://www.stickercity.com/store/home.php?cat=496
The best part of this is its not permanent and can be taken off very easily.

I'm in for the side markers as well. I say do the rims in that gunmetal powder coat with a polished lip.

Default Black Lights...

I first thought it was a film, but they are painted on that way. I'm told by the custom place that this only looks good in Black, so if I ever change the color, I'll have to get new lights (there were slight cracks in the lenses anyway, now they dont show).

Another thing I saw at the shop was a car they were redoing in Ostritch (fake leather), which actually looked outstanding.

I'm also considering eliminating the side markers and shaving the door handles and using a remote unlock, however, I'm afraid of a power failure will lock me out of the car (for the ultimate clean look)

I'm going to get a price on it as maybe a winter project.

I wouldn't call Ostrich 'fake leather', that stuff aint cheap at all.
