Default new trim rings and bra (photo heavy)

fitted my bra and trim rings this afternoon...makes a HUGE difference

your thoughts?

rear shot with my dual exhaust:


other shots:



I know....I need a front plate....anyone have the plate holder they want to sell? (need all the screws and the little plastic screw holders inside the bumper too)




still have a bit of stretching and tightening to do....but looks good IMHO

the trim rings:



brightens up the dash....I think perhaps a very positive upgrade to the old black dash...all in all a very fun day with my baby!!!

Looking sharp! Well done on the bra fit. The aftermarket ones I've seen look more like saggy britches. This looks great!

Beautiful car. The gauge rings look very nice. Not feeling the bra though. Just my honest opinion.

Nice. Love the rings, they do make the gauges stand out.

The rings are nice and the car looks clean, but also not a huge fan of the bra. Furthermore it also tends to lead to scratches more often then not.

imho a bra belongs on a woman, not a car.

I had a Porsche original bra on my first 964 and they do look great. However, expect to get many fine scratches from rubbing. Especially at the bottom of the lights, close to the bonnet.

I love the RS tail; and the dual exhaust!

The trim rings... not so much.

And, in my opinion, the bra is not a good look at all. If you are concerned with rock chips, why not go have the clear guards installed. They also install them on the mirrors, vent intake edges, rear quarter panels, and door edges... and are relatively invisible.

I love the whale tail wing but I just dont get the bra thing... (I'd rather repaint the hood every three years than drive around in car that looks like it's wearing a face-diaper.)
