Damn, that last one is the money shot.

I really like your taste, but you are f* ing killing me . Now I need to revisit my wheel thinking. I like how the silver shows more of the deep dish in the back. Very nice. I also like how you didn't do full leather inside. There is already so much going on inside the 991 interior, with 45 degree angles on the doors, the shiny shift **** that looks like a torture device from Game of Thrones, computer/nav screen, stopwatch, etc. Some will say it looks cheap and why not spend the extra $3k on a $150k car. Its not about the money. Its about not making the inside look too gaudy. You did carbon fiber and seatbelts. Enough. Perfect. Well built.

This might be a dumb question but if one changes their mind, are the wheels difficult to paint?

I know folks have plastidip'd badges etc. Has it been used on wheels? If so, how durable has it been?

Thx for the kind words mrsullivan.... Just tried to keep it a simple build, not to fussy.
Also didn't want the *** seats which I find uncomfortable. Had the base seats in my 7.1 RS and loved them for the street. If I upgrade to racing seats at some point... no investment etc.
