the color is deep charcol but it is a little darker that in the picture below. It comes out great, it looks like the contemporary Ferrari challange cars (from which got the source of the material, so its the same). This is how it came out in the previous car.

Nah. Never any pink in my guards red Porsches.

I like how hose white stripes terminate on the blank euro license plate. And clear turn lenses look good on that rich red.

Thanks Arash, I have to agree that orange blinkers don't look as good on a red car as the clear ones. Too bad mine are from 993 so the fit is what it is..

I have a plan on cutting two openings under the intercooler duct to get even more air to cool the engine. On the drawing board is also a intercooler vent to the bonnet. Cutting the bumper means I have to get creative about the license plate.. I'll probably make a smaller sticker of it and put it horizontally on to the splitter or something equally silly..

I think those stripes are generally considered rice on a Porsche at least here in Finland.. But I have to say I am not taking those away anytime soon. I bought the car with the stripes on over two years ago and now that I think about it without the stripes it will just look nude to my eyes. If I'll ever take those away I'll have to think something else on it!
