You should also get some hobby window tint and candy red spray paint, spray the amber lenses red, then cover the taillights and marker lights with a few coats of the window tint. This combo does wonders to update the look of a 928, and it would look especially great on your car.

Yes, what RED said. I think I might have mentioned some of these things when you first showed the car with the black wheels.

I think the idea of everything being blacked out is fantastic. I had seen a Lambo G in so Cal last year with this effect. Tail lights and all! It was so bad and beautiful, you couldn't stop looking at it. Everything with gloss black reflecting it's surroundings was exactly opposite of what you would think Stealth is.

So yea, sidemarkers, rear tail, windows, calipers, centercaps, front running and driving lights and ...lug nuts! Basically, everything but the headlights and front windscreen. BTW, you could get away with painting all of your window trim gloss black...not the rubber though

Just my humble, what the hell do I know, opinion. Rock on and keep innovating! Thats what keeps us fresh. We're all bound to have unpopular ideas along the way.

Them Gold nuts ain't no good for Porsche wheels. The nut seating should be spherical (like half a ball) not a cone.

Jon, if you screw the nuts on tight enough, something eventually will conform to an undesired shape.

Blue nuts = Blue *****?
Sorry.

Ernest (NYC) with very worn nuts.
Ya gotta love 'mechanics' that put on lug nuts/bolts with an air gun.
Without first screwing them in by hand.

I like the stealth black look....I would switch back to black "nuts"....then get the windows tinted & smoke out (depending on your state laws) the lenses too.....

Lug nuts are for sale.
Black lugs have been installed.

Windows get tinted next week.

The rub strips are coming of this spring. I do not like the look of them.

Nothin' like a good ol' Rennlist intervention, eh.

Post pics after the tinting - I bet it'll look bad-***.

Your lugs are your baby and I think blue is fine ... not my taste. However I think black will be baaaaad on that beautiful Porsche of yours
