I like the house the best.

Rear engine vent (top) looks gloss black, not matte?? Are you talking the botton bumper vents? Can't tell in pic if gloss or matte.

In pic #2 what is the bulbous looking thing on the wheel at the 6:00 position? Not familiar with those wheels. Thanks.

Enjoy!

House is for sale
Raining so vents look gloss but are matte like the factory plastic pieces
The wheel is a puddle of water and reflection - standard wheel
Cheers

I think the car is 100% unique and really stands out. Since you've gone with the black contrast pieces, maybe do the mirror lower halves in black and also the Porsche letters on the tail in black.

TBH I much preferred it before. Looked cleaner, sexier, more of its own statement. Now its as if its trying a bit too hard and in this color it doesn't need to. Sorry. JMHO.

I think it looks very nice! ... Reminds me of the Cayman R in peridot and that's a good thing.

Looks great! I did the same thing on my Gen IV Viper...did the rear lower in black, and it looks so much better than stock!

Now, you just need to powdercoat those wheels to satin black to complete the refresh!

Meh. Why does a turbo need a stripe?

Looks good. I think without the stripe it would've been a little too "lime green".

Love the color. Everybody knows it is a special Porsche, even stock.

The only thing I would do If I could afford a TTS is get Non CL wheels. Biggest refresh would be new Shoes and the Center Locks really limit the range of what can be bought aftermarket.

But that car Still Looks Mighty Fine.

Good Job. +(-1)**(0)... remember your simple algebra kids!
